So it's thanksgiving and the tv was on MSNBC which has a sort of marathon of "The Squeeze" which is like cops but with busting gangs and such. A lot of them are black people. I guess I'm happy I live in Mississippi because I don't think any area I've been in is as bad as the spots they are showing. Chicago is the one they're at now and it seems horrible (the stats they talk about). Then I imagined how my neighbors might have felt when I moved in the middle of them. No one talks to me except for the old lady across the street to say hi if I'm close to where she is going. So I imagined myself as a drug king pin (lol), though I don't have parties at the house, I keep noise low because of a house very close to my garage, and I keep things nice. At least they should know I'm no gangbanger.

lol this show made me question my own self as a criminal!!! Mission accomplished.

Edit: Man Cartels are ruthless and scary

Is the old lady black or white?

White, she's chill, always wear a dress (blue jean) and sneakers. She used to give me neighborhood watch papers asking us to go to the meetings, I never went. What would I do at a neighborhood watch meeting?

Probably build a rapport with your neighbors and therefore make them not hate you for being black.

Isn't every city in America filled with gangbangers of the blax variety?

I though Mississippi had a higher than average black populace, never looked it up or anything, just assumed. Is yours the only family in the neighborhood??

I do ok.

Before I moved where I am now I was in a majority black city. All of them were cool. Some wannabe gangsters but they were harmless. Maybe a city with a gigantic population is different. I mean it's MS after all. This area have black people but I'm just smack dab in the middle of white people. Found another black family a few houses from me in viewing distance. Only noticed because of a hurricane and a 3 day power outtage.
