Fargo the new Detroit??

Ha…no obviously at this point Teddy’s words of wisdom have not been adhered to over the years. I am merely pointing out that this philosophy explains a lot of why our country is in the current state it is.

This country's problems are the result of big business and corporations wanting more and more and more of everything; and at the same time refusing to help pay for anything.  So the burden falls on the rest of us who can't hide our income in off-shore tax shelters and slip thru tax loopholes.  It's easy to blame immigrants (who have little or no power or influence) instead of targeting the real culprits (who unfortunately have lots of power and influence and know how to use it).  But hey, scapegoating is an old American tradition, isn't it? ???

Are Fargo's (North Dakota's) rising criminal rates due to the number of immigrants or, IMO, a wide variety of new comers to our state who don't share the values of the majority of ND (rgardless of race, religion, sex); a strong work ethic, a respect for our neighbor, etc.

It used to be a lot easier to get a job as an immigrant (I am talking 19th into the early 20th century).  And I don't know if I would call assistance by a private, non-profit charity a "handout".  If you want to see a real example of "handouts", just look at a corporate balance sheet; lots of tax breaks and other goodies on there.

I thought people here said the government pays LSS money. Don't they even get housing assistance?

All I'm saying is those "older immigrants" fought hard to get here. The newer immigrants not so much.

Just my opinion....

rac·ist

ˈrāsəst/noun

  • 1.

    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

    synonyms: racial bigot, racialist, xenophobe, chauvinist, supremacist More

    adjective

  • 1.

    having or showing the belief that a particular race is superior to another.

    "we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at the clu

If you know anything about Fargo, its growing population, and how that correlates with increase in crime one could argue the title of this thread has racist undertones. Detroit has major crime problem due to most of its crime being perpetrated by non-whites. I could claim you are racist for comparing crime in Detroit to Fargo's increase in crime due to the large influx of non-whites in this area.

But you being female and a minority obviously give you as pass in everything and all things "racist".

BTW I bet with someone here as to how long it would take you to throw out the term "racist". I lost...thought it would come out earlier in this thread.

I'm kind of a newbie to message boards so I wasn't expecting that kind of a reaction. Some people are really sensitive & crave arguments:

 

Me: "Have a nice day."

 

An innate arguer: "Have a nice day? Is that what you said?! Who made you the final judge on what kind of day it is? What if I don't think it's a particularly nice day, did you ever think of that?! Huh? And you TOLD me to have a nice day instead of ASKING me to have one. How presumptuous & arrogant of you."   :D

Detroit is what % non-white...and someone then calls Fargo the "new Detroit" due to its increase in crime.

Just saying...........

BTW...have a nice rest of your day!

I didn't leave Chicago because it wasn't safe. I left to go to school. I grew up in an area in the inner city that was a safe, family oriented area of the hardest working blue collar workers anywhere in the country. It too changed for the worse but Detroit, for me, has always been 'the bad place". ;)

I've spent lots of time in Detroit and never had a problem anywhere. What do you feel makes it so bad compared to Chicago?

Holy crap!!! For real, 'I have noticed some HUGE differences between the way whites & non-whites think; regardless of how long they have lived here. Whisttes are ingrained with & accustomed to order, formal procedures, respect of personal property & other distinct European traits.'  I'm of Mexican descent and am deeply insulted by your broad generalization. I'm not going to 'defend' my culture against this bull shat, just know this is bull shat.

 

You are aware Mexicans have a spanish past right?  Spain is where?  Europe.

 

I don't like when people cry about nonsense.

Kettle...

By pointing out you are a complete hypocrite. You throw the "racist" card on this site whenever you can but you are worse...you hide behind your gender and that fact you are a minority.

Detroit is 83% black...and you compare their crime to Fargo. This thread was "racist" when you started it.

You are a joke.

What?? is that suppose to make statements about how one group has better values than another ok??  

 

And, I don't like people making generalizations about other people. 

 

This thread Fargo becoming the new Detroit is suppose to be about the rising crime rate in Fargo/ND. I won't accept comments about one 'race' being better than another quietly. Deal...
