Agree with this. Come back to Dublin in 20 years time and you'll see a different story, but for now avoid the white hoodies at all costs. The black guys now are fine , but their sons will probably be a different matter.

YEP, The white hoodies will probably drag the black hoodies down to their level. Suppose that is what racism does, it makes the victims racist and hence the viscious circle.

Depends really, if the white hooded teens look like this :

Then I'd take my chances with the latter route.

Out walking earlier my daughter said she fancied a "wog". :eek:

I nearly had a stroke and was about to tell her off for being racist till she explained she was too energetic to walk and too tired to jog so she was going to have a "wog" instead!

Everyone is so caught up on being "PC" it's crazy. People are people regardless of colour, religion etc. Some are good and some are "scumbags" personally I'd walk on the side of the street where the "hoodies" aren't armed!!;)

I'd just get the two groups together and introduce them and get them to start trading stories about their lives and stuff and broaden their horizons and get them to start y'know start hanging out with each other and stuff and then we wouldn't have such a prejudiced thread about young black lads and white lads in hoodies, it'd just be a thread about young lads in hoodies.

And then I'd have solved racism and while the black lads and the white lads were having the craic with each other on one of the streets I'd leg it home down the other.

G'night people!

This sounds to me as pure ignorance as when one does not know any black people or grew up with the stereotypical idea that all blacks are criminals and violent (which is nonsense), sure you then you will fear it.
How often do you read bout blacks doing criminal activities from mugging to murder? And I am talking bout Ireland.. Read some news papers and get some statistics, then try again to fuel hatred for someone's colour..

Wait till your daughter/son comes home with one of them lads:) Then decide. Seriously man its Ireland. I suggest to you, to go and make some non white friends. Go on ya mad thing go mad and live a little.

Take a walk on the wild side

markopantelic

where are you london/paris? if you're in dublin you'd be making the wrong choice imo.

i live in the city centre and there'd be a few groups of black teens but there hardly prevailent and they don't act like scumbags.

enniscorthy

defo go with the blacks mate heeheheheheh

According to The Citizen's Advice Bureau you should first take out a few whiteys with your custom machete. This will attract the attention of the other group who will run to the aid of their fallen comrades. While they are in mid-stride you should drop two flash grenades from your utility belt to confuse them before finishing off the job with your chainsaw-shotgun.

At this point you should flee the scene quite quickly after leaving your usual Calling Card

:pac:< Who was that bespectacled stud?

Depends on the country, city, area etc.

get youre asses over the the "get in a car with a male and u will die" thread, now theres some form of discrimination.

Hazys

One thing to be consider in this "argument" is "once you go black, you never go back"...oh now i get it

asdasd

No hooded black teen has ever tried to mug me/hassle me for fags/money/no reason.

Most of Ireland's blacks are immigrants. Immigrants tend to want to work. Up until a few years ago you could assume the black guy was a doctor.

So here, walk on the black side.

I think AH is getting more efficient, instead of getting our daily pointless hypothetical question thread and our daily racism thread why are now combining them.

And, if only the op had just called them "scumbags" we would have got 3 for the price 1.

I've seen more white people in fights than I have black people, in fact I don't think Ive ever seen a black person in a fight before.. or a building site

That might be because blacks fight in the dark

In any country other than Ireland I'd walk on the white side. Here I'd walk on the black side

It was warm so no need for a jacket but it was raining so hood up.
Hope that doesn't mean I'm a scumbag

not if it was raining :pac:

I wear a hoodie nearly everyday. But I only use the hood if it actually rains/ snows.

WTF have hoods got to do with it....it's easier to tell a scumbag with their hood down.

I have never mugged anyone or have any intentions, rarely am I in fights and not since I was a kid have I started one....and guess what I go around with my hood up....and here's the real shocker, I do it because most of the time its cold or f*cking raining.

But hey, stereotyping makes it easier to sleep at night.

But the difference between a scumbag and a normal person is that scumbags wear their hoods up all the time. Fair enough if it's raining. But all the time? There's just no need

To be fair that's hardly surprising considering you live in a predominantly white country.

A group of black hooded teens on one side and a group of teens wearing caps and celtic jerseys on the other?
