What would you do if a negro moved into your community?

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?

deliver a fruit basket. Same thing i do anytime someone new moves in.

There are more of them than there are of me here....like since I'm one person and 4 of them live next door.

Aight, I put on my robe and wizard hat..

Fail to notice.

Make sure he does not bring any friends, since any large group of Negroes sets their sights on young white chicks...and you know what that means! Unbeatable competition. :'(

Fail to notice.

Is it always dark where you are?

I roll for initiative.

I roll for initiative.

with your trident?

I roll for initiative.

You lose, if the new resident is Samuel L. Jackson.

I moved into their neighborhood. They didn't seem to care.



Actually, I once moved to a place where there were only white people every where I looked. It was in Vermont. It made me paranoid. I kept wondering what they had done to all the other people. It was like one of those horror movies.

Not notice, since at home there's no houses within about half a mile each way, so I wouldn't come into contact with them.

If it did come to my attention, however, I'd try to make the Negroes feel at home by blacking up, forming a rap posse with a few school friends, and occasionally firing gunshots randomly outside their house.

Beautifully planned.

thats what i keep trying to explain about the KKK. the burning cross thing is so they can get charcoal to blacken up. and that traveling and groups shooting in the air and cussing at them is just to welcome them to the "hood"

x3 crit multiplier, bitch.

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?

I wouldn't notice. My condominium is full of people coming from all Italy and all the world. Got Lombards, Venetians, Sicilians, Neapolitans, Latin-Americans, Africans, Asians...

And the municipal sports centre, 100m from my house, is used as a makeshift mosque every Friday. No problem with multiculturalism and multiethnicity, at all.

(Also I like having some people around who can make a decent kebab)

SOme neighbors prefer to be left alone. Some are friendly and outgoing. The first thing to do is to figure out which category they fall into before I tackle one of them. This I learned the hard way.

Assuming they are friendly and outgoing neighbors, will interact beyond the nonchalant wave and 'hello' as I'm chasing after my kids on the front lawn and can take a tackle with good humor, I will probably invite them over for a picnic. Under the circumstances, I will probably avoid fried chicken and watermelon. Unless I think they'd find it amusing. Chances are, I'd make my award winning chili, maybe some grilled salmon along with hot dogs and hamburgers for the kids and a nice herb salad.

If I managed to get my catapult reassembled by then, we might entertain ourselves firing various objects around the neighborhood.

I might throw a pie or two.

I approve.

Beautifully planned.

Rap is so gauche. I think they would appreciate Al Jolson.

I got that same feeling myself when I moved to a rural area of Colorado after living in a very ethnically mixed part of California for a couple of years. Felt weird indeed.

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?

My next door neighbors were black. Not to say they're no longer black, but they're no longer my next door neighbors (IIRC, one of them was in the Navy, and got reassigned somewhere else). They seemed fine, and we talked for a few minutes here and there.

No Milanese or Umbrans? :(

Imagine this culture shock:

I'm a native New Yorker. After living the first 31 years of my life in New York City, I moved to Vermont. I was there for almost 7 years.

I've now lived in the Boston area for 8 years, but I'm still a little shaken up by the experience.

I moved into their neighborhood. They didn't seem to care.

This. My hope is that they come to my housewarming party.

Ignore them like all my other neighbors.

I see what you mean. Culture shocks are very...shocking, aren't they? (I know, I know, poor word choice, but nothing really gets across the feeling.)

It's interesting, Ruffino, to read the poll without your explanatory first post, as I did at first. If I were the first black resident in your community, would I soon wish to sell my house? Be concerned for the safety of my children? Etc.

and see ?

Not give a damn.

I don't interact much with my neighbors anyway. Besides, black people aren't exactly rare in Toronto. I can't recall where for sure, but I remember hearing that Toronto was the most multi-cultural city in the world.

i would ask them if they would be my black friend, so i could brag to my fellow whites that i actually had one, for reals.

Well, I'm black, so I'd probably invite them out to go steal TVs

How does that work? Do you guys send out little cards in the mail or is it more of a Facebook-group thing these days?

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?

Oh. I'd go chill with em. I grew up in a mostly black neighborhood. :)

This poll is fail.

The first thing I always do when new people move in is check to see if there are any hot guys/girls in my age group.

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?

Well, in New Zealand we don't have many black Africans, but we do have Maori and Pacific Islanders. If they moved into my community, I wouldn't have a problem with it unless they, like anyone else, gave me reason for concern (e.g. drunken parties, drug trading and so on).

My neighbors are black on the left and right, and Mexican across the street, though I moved into "their" neighborhood, if you want to call it that, and not the other way around. They're quiet, but the Mexicans throw capital-m Massive parties every once in a while that basically clog up my entire side of town. Lots of accordions involved.

We're like the Masons; it all comes down to the secret handshake.

Eh, given that there are already a goodly number of said "negroes" in my community, I wouldn't really notice. I'd probably ignore them like I do most of my other neighbors.

You know who else does that? German neighbors. God, I hate the accordion.

No problem. Welcome them to the neighborhood. Coming from New York City not a big deal.

I actually find Negroes to be more welcoming than any other race, azins being the worst.

I'd do a double-take to check if we aren't back in the sixties, when that word was last used.

If we were, I would use my knowledge of the "future" to reshape the world as I see fit.

If we weren't, I'd be as polite to them as I am to all my neighbors: Very kind towards those I care about, polite towards those I don't, and wanting their head on a pike if they bothered me.

Then again, I DO live in a country in which race means jack shit. Something you folks should strive to.

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?Who keeps letting you out of your cage?

Then again, I DO live in a country in which race means jack shit. Something you folks should strive to....Right.

I'd make sure none of my white neighbors were Il Ruffino.

I'd try to avoid moving into a neighborhood so racist that my mere presence as a black man wouldn't cause "white flight" and drag the value of the house I just bought down. Besides that, just be my non-social hardworking self.

Who keeps letting you out of your cage?

Ifreann.

Ifreann.:mad:

You both shall be locked in cage forever then.

*Throws in cage, melts down keys, and throws key scrap into the sun.*

Welcome them as a fellow negro

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?

Nothing I wouldn't do normally. I might (time permitting) stop by and say hello, or not-I work night-shift and don't see most of my neighbours when I'm awake.

41 and 44 lulz.

Personally, I'd invite them over for tea and Polo.

Personally, I would do what I always do when undesirables move in; seal the doors and windows, grab a baseball bat, hunker down and wait for the property prices to crash. :p

SOme neighbors prefer to be left alone. Some are friendly and outgoing. The first thing to do is to figure out which category they fall into before I tackle one of them. This I learned the hard way.

I'm the first type. If you tried to tackle me, the dogs would get'cha. Not that I'd sic them on you, I wouldn't, but they can be protective, and sometimes they seize the initiative.

As for the hypothetical Negroes,(which would be a great name for a band, by the way) I'd treat them like I've treated neighbors in the past, as long as they don't bother me, I don't bother them.

No Milanese or Umbrans? :(

Lombards include Milanese. (Milan is the capital of Lombardy)

Umbrians (I think) no. Emigrating Umbrians went mostly to Rome (and some to Florence).

You know who else does that? German neighbors. God, I hate the accordion.

I love accordions! Just like almost any Italian :)

(Unless when gypsies play accordion on the metro at 7.30, monday morning... then it becomes annoying).

I honestly wouldn't care, maybe they'd be a nice change from the rest of my nieghbors.

Not bad, but not the very best I've heard.
I'll search some more accordion music and post the linkys.

ignore him the same as anyone else.

Make sure he does not bring any friends, since any large group of Negroes sets their sights on young white chicks...and you know what that means![/COLOR]

It's better if you have a black flatmate, like I do. Then you can look morally superior, even when shopping for loo-roll.

(He's even got dreads!!1)

I would simply do what I do to everyone else... IGNORE HIM! Hate my neighbours, doesnt matter what colour they are.

Not care. Might just say hi, although probably not. This would be the same for anyone, regardless of what they look like.

If I felt really motivated, I might hold a housewarming party for his family. It might even involve baking a pie.

Otherwise, not much. For some reason, around here communities are not formed by who lives next to you, but what clubs you are in / what church you attend / where you work.

It wasn't always that way...? Somewhere along the way people became isolationists.

Then again, I DO live in a country in which race means jack shit. Something you folks should strive to.

That's pure, unadulterated bullshit.

You live in a country where you sweep issues of race under the rug and don't talk about it. I'd daresay that bringing it out into the open is far more healthy than ignoring it like Brazilians do.

I may nor be able to read Portuguese fluently, but this article, referencing the IBGE's census shows some SEVERE racial disparities.

*Sighs*

Okay, okay, we DO have racial issues, but none of them is "what would you do if people from race X moved next door", mainly because just about every Brazilian has some degree of African in their blood.

The result of having a mixed race social structure are sociologically intriguing, as compared to a unblended majority-minority structure.

And, in this case, I think lighter-boy Ruffy was permitted out of his cage. I can't recall having never lived in a community without at least some black people, even in the super-affluent white-flight suburb.

It wasn't until I was about 8 or 9 that a black family moved to my hometown.

I lived a fucking sheltered life till I moved away...

Scotland's population is so small (only 5 million), and it's non-white population even smaller, that there's large parts of the country where you'll only see white faces.

Then again, go to any of the urban areas, especially Glasgow, and communities are obviously ethnically diverse.

You're from Scotland, don't be so surprised.

Say hi.

A couple of years ago, the apartment above me was rented to a black couple. My landlady felt the need to call me up and warn me so (and this is how she put it) I wouldn't get nervous seeing a black man I didn't know going in and out of the house. I was really shocked when she said that to me. She'd never warned me about any of the other tenants who moved in and out of the building at various times. That was a level of racism I had never seen before except in private conversations among people my grandparents' age, and even they learned better over time.

When I did see them in the hall, I introduced myself. Perfectly nice people, quiet, pleasant. They bought a house and moved out after a couple of years, and I was sad to see them go. They were both always very quick to greet me and exchange pleasantries, and considering that the other neighbor on our side of the building is the landlady who has no problem renting to blacks but still thinks she has to brace the other tenants for the shock of it, I can sort of guess why they were glad to have me there to remind them what century this is.

You're from Scotland, don't be so surprised.
As I said, it depends whereabouts in Scotland you live.

A lot of places in the rest of the UK are the same. I think York is about 98% white (and the rest are mostly Asian and Chinese) but you pop along to Leeds just down the road and the proporitions become different. This said, I wouldn't care two figs about the ethnicity of any of my neighbours and would probably ignore them most of the time as I do with all my neighbours (I'll say hi if I pass them in the hallway but otherwise I don't interact with them).

Of course I live next to a bail hostel on one side, a pub on the other and student halls of residence just behind... so really all I care about with the other people in my block is if they play their music loud and remeber to take their bins out.

Welcome them to the neighborhood.

Drag out my old white robes, run them through the washing machine, then go put burning crosses in front of their apartment door and picket the elevator with signs saying things like "GO BACK TO AFRICA" whenever they walked by. And I'd write angry letters to the landlord.




Alternately, nothing at all. Where I live, people ordinarily ignore their neighbors unless they actually need something.

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?
LOL, it's more like what the neighborhood did when *I* moved in.... Said, "Hi, you're new, welcome to the neighborhood!"

Start a thread about it on NSG.

Imagine this culture shock:

I'm a native New Yorker.
Why'dja leave us? :)

Why'dja leave us? :)
Money issues. :(

Ignore him like I do all my neighbors.

And if he's more than two houses away, I probably wouldn't even notice him for months.

I live with a black guy. So I'm gunna say... nothing.

You know who else does that? German neighbors. God, I hate the accordion.

I apologize on behalf of my nationality brothers and sister, so to speak. In all fairness, I've never seen an accordion being played in my presence, so I shall claim that it's not their Germanness, but their hideous taste in music and time for music that's the problem.

Relevant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmC_GX5rMK0). Albeit I wonder how they even made it to the finals (provided there had actually been other contestants who were still physically present at the time of the finals round), what with the one guy not even shaking his ass even a little, and the one who does shake his ass having an ugly one.

Negroes can own property? When the hell did that happen?

lol the first time I ever met anyone from another country was at the tender age of 18. I was quite impressed I had lasted that long!!

it seemed to be 25 years before there was really any more than one person that wasnt white in my town.

It's better at the Uni, quite a lot of foreign students as well as those from all over the country. But yes, York is quite mono-ethinic.

Everybody knows Negroes don't exist. They're just something the Jewish bankers invented to blame for stealing the money we gave them to look after for us.

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?

What planet do you live on?

They already lived in my neighborhood before I got here... they still do...

Gosh, people of just about every nationality and cultural background live in Northern Virginia... and have for decades...

Are you trying to imply that there's a problem somehow?

What would you do if a negro moved into your community?

Welcome them, get to know them, let them know they can call on me for any assistance.

A more important question that can be answered by the thread's poll: What would you do if Il Ruffino moved into your community?

I have a flamethrower.

Black person or persons move into my neighborhood...uh, unless they happen to be fond of loudly playing gangsta rap at 1:00 in the morning, I couldn't care less.

I never lived in a neighborhood with a negro neighbor. However, I would give the negro a fair chance. A lot of negros are good people and we should not judge them on the basis of their skin. Now if he dressed and talked like a gangsta rappa I would be concerned obviously. But if he was a decent sort I would not hold his skin color against him.

I would encourage my wife to bake him banana bread like I do whenever I get a new neighbor (she always makes one for me too when she is at it and I loves the banana bread).

You forgot the option "it's already full of negros."

All situations require either pie or dynamite. This is occasion requires pie.

You forgot the option "it's already full of negros."

I tried to point that out earlier - that, and people of every other description are already here.

I dunno this seems like a ridiculous question to me similar to asking "what would you do if a person moved in next door"
to which the answer is obviously to thank god that those obnoxious Martians are gone.

Yeah, I, for one, was getting tired of those flying saucers hovering over the neighborhood at all hours of the night, making those creepy noises.
