Sorry, but there are other ghettos in the world besides in countries where blacks populate them. Go to Central and South America, parts of Eastern Europe and pockets of Asia. And it's not just rap music and afro-rooted music that has degenerated in 20-40 years. Just switch over to any music station with chart music and it's almost all trashy and expendable (if entertaining).
Please bear in mind that where Rihanna and Justin Bieber is today, Britney Spears, Dj something-something and Big Brovaz was in the 2000's, Spice Girls, Ace of Base and Backstreet Boys was in the 1990's and Rick Astley was in the 1980's. Somehow we only remember the good bands and forget the sh!t that actually top the charts.

Every decade had it's bad music lol.

Go to "the hood" and see how much you like it. For real fun, try seeing how much you like it by actually living in said neighborhoods.
How does this discredit what either of us have said about the narrow point in your argument about what you perceive to be a problem exclusive to black people? Of course there's crimes in a ghetto. There's crimes in any ghetto. And because almost everyone commits crime in a ghetto, the majority of whatever ethnicity that lives there are likely to cause the crime. This problem is not exclusive to black folks in western civilizations.
All I am arguing is that MR20 lives in the ghetto. I am also arguing ghetto culture on the whole, and the ethnicities who live there, black, white, Hispanic, all contribute to this crappy culture. MR20 is lucky in a strange way, because his Aspergers makes him mostly socially unrelate to the people in said crappy culture. I'm not arguing that black people are terrible or anything like that, all I am saying is that ghetto culture, yes in other places, but because we are speaking about the United States, ghetto culture in the United States, is bad.
MR20, if possible, he'd probably do quite well in non-ghetto cultural circles, and I feel that's his main problem (besides bathing.) It's hard enough living in such places without Aspergers, but with it, it's even harder, especially when you're black. Even in black circles in general (not ghetto,) people are very emotional and rely very much on nonverbal communication, moreso than white people do. But, in some ways, he's lucky, as his Aspergers has socially isolated him from a bad community of people, going along with the quote (that's someone's sig on here):
Quote:
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
Again, I'm saying, because of his Aspergers, he could never become well adjusted to a destructive society like he lives in, now it might not help him much now, as he's stuck there, but if the opportunity arises to leave said society, he'd be better off than a person who was well adjusted to the society he currently lives in.
I'm sure MR20 would probably agree on most of my points, as I've brought this up before, and he agreed then.

Yeah this is pretty funny because I actually have fungi (at least that's what I think it is) on me, On my back, on the inside of thigh, and on my upper shoulder.
It's been there for a few years. It hasn't bothered me all that much though.
Is this a troll post? That's really not cool... I mean, there's no way you could be that icky...

Of course, foot fungus is fairly common. It's not like a carpet of green mold or picking off mushrooms or anything - right?

You have no idea where I live. Even if you did, that wouldn't make the things you're saying magically stop being racist.

Perhaps, but if you intend to shun ALL of society's norms, you can expect society to shun YOU in return.
Nobody's saying you have to be someone you're not, but being repulsive is going to repulse people... that's just what happens. That's the nature of it.

Well if I cannot live up to societies norms what choice do I have...there are plenty of people who don't fit in with society and I tend to get along with people like that. Society shunned me in the past even when I did attempt to fit in, so why try and fit in now?

You'll be shunned a lot WORSE if you smell bad, look terrible and snarl at people when they attempt to be marginally friendly.
We may not ever be popular alphas, but there's no reason we need to make our situation far worse than it needs to be!

I smell bad sometimes, cause I sweat like a human and don't shower every day, I might look terrible to some people and good to others I personally am fine with my physical appearance even if others aren't...and well I am not mean to people if they try to be friendly but I am not going to walk around with a big smile on my face if that is off putting to people I probably don't want to talk to those people anyways.
Also I don't see being rejected by a sick society making my situation worse...I see that as my situation being made worse due to people treating me like crap because I don't fit in. And I don't agree with bullying so 'fit in because society will shun you if you don't' does not convince me I should.
