Its true you didn't say black kids but the subtext was there from the whole whiteboy thing. Are these kids you're talking about not actually black? Im not hearing you say that they aren't. Even so its suggests a fucked up attitude to just assume people are criminals because they are young and poor. Sure, crime is more common among people in poverty but you saying stolen bikes like that sure comes off as racist even if you yourself are not.

You are the only one who brought race into this. I get called whiteboy by people who are not black in my neighborhood. Not all kids in my neighborhood are black, not all kids who steal bikes in my neighborhood are black. The type of kids who yell racial slurs and threaten my wife sexually happens to coincide with the type of kids who are stealing bikes.

No one here assumed all people who are young and poor steal. You said that. I said the problem is poverty. People who can afford a bike, generally don't steal one.

I think it's you who has a negative attitude. We're discussing a pretty important issue in this thread and you've turned it into whether or not I'm racist. That doesn't seem productive.

You insinuated it in a vague manner, but you did make that assumption. When you look at a kid on the street and say "that bike is stolen" you are making that assumption, even if the kid is a total shitbag and harasses you on the street.

At least now you're coming around to admitting you put words in my mouth.

I would just like to point out that after accusing me of racism you have made a couple wild assumptions (the very thing you're charging me with). You assumed I was making 2-3 times more than everyone in my neighborhood. I don't know what gave you that impression, the only information you really know about me is that I'm white. You wouldn't be making assumptions based off race would you?

You also assumed that I was accusing all black, young, poor people of stealing bikes. A statement I never even came near to making. Furthermore, you made the assumption that the bicycle thieves in my neighborhood were black, and that the people hurling racial slurs in my neighborhood were black. In fact, you seem to be working under the assumption that everyone in my neighborhood, except me, is black.

Again, the only person here making assumptions based off race is you.

Yes that's what I wrote. Here's what you read:

All the [black] kids hanging out in the streets on (stolen) bikes.

Two completely different sentences.
