[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=maril332][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop throwing their trash from Popeye's in my frontyard, which has happened at two homes in different neighborhoods.

For example.[/quote]

I don't appreciate my dog choking on your chicken bones or my child having to play around your filth.  And it REALLY burns my ass to have to pick up your garbage from my flowerbeds/sidewalk.  Have some respect for your neighbors and yourself, and remove that big old chip from your shoulder.[/quote]

I have certainly seen black people, white people, and every other race and ethnicity littering. Then you mention popeyes as a reference to blacks and fried chicken. Troll? [/quote]

I'm the PP who mentioned Popeyes (and this is my first follow-up, so it appears other people deal with this as well).

The contexts of these two incidents were especially maddening.

The first time, I was sitting on my front porch and a group of black teens walked by, [i]looked at me[/i], and then threw their Popeyes box in my yard, laughed, and kept strolling.

The second time, I was in my kitchen and heard voices really close to my house, so I looked out the window, and there were 2 black teenage boys sitting on a decorative bench that is right up against my house, very far from the sidewalk.  That already felt like a violation, so I started putting on some shoes to go out and "make small talk," but they were already walking away when I opened my door.  But then, sure as shit, I noticed they had left their Popeyes trash under the bench.

The first incident occurred in a majority-black (but upper-middle-class) neighborhood.  The second occurred in an almost 100 percent white neighborhood, so what's their excuse?  I'm sure their parents are at least middle-class, the local public schools are fine/good, there's no local pressure on them to act out.  And yet they still fucking do, and it enrages me.[/quote]

You are talking about TEENS. Many teens are MAJOR assholes. Why are you judging black people off of the actions of asshole teens?[/quote]
