Damn! That couldn't have been put in a better way.
A little harsh but...ehhh.. the truth hurts sometimes.

Yo GU, I got a chuckle though cuz I was thinking that Useless Segregated Assholes sounds like a garage band playing at S.O.B's every Sat. night!!!!!

I could see it now....
"and tonight opening up for Useless Segregated Assholes let's give a warm welcome to Concrete Enema!!!!!"HAHAHA~

I'm from Chicago and I didn't view Chi as a microcosm of the world. In earnest, I was smart enough to know that there was a world outside of my home-town / also my comfort zone.

If I hadn't been introduced to a proper worldview, I would've stayed within my 25 mile radius (as most Americans do!).

Being in Chicago (and other segregated cities) for that matter seems to "bog" people of color down with an enormous amount of racism. You feel it when you walk into the store, when you are being served at a restaurant, etc. Once I got a feel for New York and the fact that I could pretty much go anywhere without feeling 50lbs of stress on my shoulders... I left my comfort zone and went on to enjoy the rest of the world to my desire.

My statement was really from the view point who grew up in Chicago and since Glenn is from Chi, I felt comfortable making that statement.

As far as the world goes... there are ANGELS and ASSHOLES everywhere! ...And I mean everywhere!

What pray tell is a "proper worldview"? And what New York did you move in where you were relieved of your 50lbs? I was born here and have spent more of my life in this city than in any other. I have experienced some of my MOST outrageous instances of personal racial bias here. Having been relatively privileged (at least while I was still on my folks' dime...) afforded me access to a lot of wonderful opportunities but also taught me the truth that even standing in their faces with the key (or the grades or the membership card or the platinum card) cannot obscure some people's determination to underline in bold strokes that "your kind" will never belong.
