Respect, Dissin and homicide rates

[Lennie]

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT

It happened again locally last night, and the same thing probably occurred 10 times before midnight elsewhere in America.

I have been doing private property impound since the '80's.
Since about 2000, I have been accused of "dissin" by blacks, if I told them "no". No matter how professionally or politely.
Other area, saying no, disagreeing, or not giving what they demand equals "dissin".

Too many young males have been brought up with no role models in their lives to teach them how to be men.

Once again pointing to the fact that all cultures are not equal. All cultures are not good. Many cultures need to be condemned.

Sadly, only the work-your-job and abide-by-the-law culture will be condemned.

Indeed - they are raised by the street and their friends' maturity. How much different would they be if raised by wolves? There'd be no dissin going on there...

I've had " gangstas paradise " stuck in my head since I first read this.

(Noting the article discusses Rochester, NY) I spent last weekend there working. Would not have guessed the homicide rate was so high. Glad I didn't Diss anyone as this was one of the few times in ages that I didn't bring a gun, to avoid the NY hassle. Thanks for OP @Lennie, good read.

Edit: Typo

Dissin' = an obvious/good reason for reduced bail or release on own recognizance

As a middle-aged white dude...that song still rocks. And the video has Michelle Pfeiffer.

I've been saying this for years. The word "respect" has two definitions relevant to the current context. The first is to hold someone in high regard. The second is caution or fear. So which is it that you demand? Maybe you're thinking of the custom of common decency. That's still not owed to you, it's just a favor passed among good men. A decent man doesn't demand a favor.
