Becky What do Californians do that Georgians Dont? 

I know for me we have the dreaded NASCAR and a major Outdoorsman culture. Even I, a city kid is looking for land with a stream to go fishing and woods to...I dont really know what the woods would be for I just want it. lol

I live in the south. The bible belt, confeterate flag flying, conservative south. Black get pulled over of the most rediculous stuff. My brother was riding with a friend was driving and they got pulled over for an failure to signal. my brother got a ticket. They were searched and held for an hr.. for a failure to signal.
As far as Sports, Many boys strive for athletics because thats what their good at. Even I played back yard football and basketball since I was able to walk. We're not really though much of as a smart race people have even found statistics to point that out. Its what we've been told Black men are stronger faster, more agile, but more dumb. Alot of boys belive that Even a boy I went to school would say " I can't learn this!" So they poor their hearts and souls in to the one thing they know their good at and thats sports.
Now the positive is well the majoratiy of my friends were White and Asian and I could not have asked for the most nicest goofy and rediculous people to call friend. All though there is a population of people who wish the good ol' south could be renewed again . But you have people who dont belive the BS in the media that makes me feel like a restoration in my previous beliefs. I would never shy away from a person that was diffrent from me cause I know that they have been there done that and heard every stereotype in the book as I have.

Didnt know there was a limit (sigh)

On the issue of Black/White relations.

It has gotten better, but It's not in a good spot. Yes people dont come to your face and call you a N-word everyday. But I guarantee you 95% black people have been called that in hatered at least once in their lives. I know I have, as well as friends and family have. people may not have been calling you names and telling you to "Go back where you come from" as much anymore, but thats because they replaced the n word with "Thug" and the "go back to africa" With statistics on how bad black people are. Girls hear "Oh. your pretty for a black girl" ALLL the time form other races even other minoraties " and Boys hear " Man your pretty cool for a black guy not like the others"ALLLL the time.

Normally you think "Having the talk" Is teaching your kids about sex and safety, but for us having the talk is more about how to react around the police. http://gawker.com/what-black-parents-tell-their-sons-about-the-police-1624412625

Alot of people got idignate when they saw BLACK LIVES MATTER In bold letters thinking that people were saying ONLY BLACK LIVES MATTER so they repsponded back with ALL LIVES MATTER along with the not just black lives but all lives. What they don't realise is that black lives matter didnt mean only black lives matter, but black lives matter, too.

I would like to answer a few things from a diffrent perspective. 

@pedro  1.This is going to get a bit political so I apologizee. America is considered the worlds richest country but only a few people get to see that wealth.The poorest half of the US owns 2.5% of the country’s wealth. The top 1% owns 35% of it. the bottom 90% of America owns 73% of the debt. As student loan debt plays a major role. I read somewhere that the number of debt for student loans is higher than even morgage loans.

2. Although we are known as the hardest working polulation in the world we only see a small margin of it. Productivity has gone up but the income has stayed stagnate or even decresed in some areas. That's because 58% of all new income goes to the top 1%

3. Religion is a strong widely used throughout the world than just the US. Hindu,Chrisitian, Muslim,Buddist,Judisim, even Rastafariism. Its just that Since the US is a melding pot of many diffrent cultures It just seems as if its a major factor. Its when, people want their prefered religion to reign over all others and is used as a tool for attack that makes it a problem. Many Christians have forgotten or don't know that the US was the First and still is a Secular nation. Meaning that Any religion of any nature can not have have an affect on government policies as stated by the First Amendment.
