i always carry with me every where i go except the bank or post office here in Barnesville. Too many idiot with Fulton County tags and too many dreads. Go to JRs food mart and witness to glory of this small town attracting the idiots. They will pull up and leave the music wide open with every word known to man coming from the inside of the car while the general public has to listen to it too.
what do dreads got to do with it. Dreads dont make you a bad person. My child got dread. I guess you are one of the ones that walking around with all black on with pins hanging everywhere
I didnt say that dreads make you a bad person. Are you in denial about certain races being more prone to criminal activity. I can post up some very informative links to prove my point. Or better yet you can visit www.wsbtv.com and watch for yourself. I worked enough years in Law Enforcement to validate my comment that i made.
You care to post your childs name. I probably know them and could give you an ear full. Im not old and have a lot of contacts "across the tracks"
Yes alot of black people (dreads) are apart of the crime that's taking place in the small town of barnesville, but some of those (dreads) are business professionals and just as intelligent as the next man (the white man). The reason that crime rates amongst blacks are higher than that of whites is because of the opportunities that the white community have that are not equally given to our young black men. If you take a look at job closings and unemployment rates it has a more devastating affect on the black community which leads us as a people to be more prone to commiting crimes to provide for our families. I am a highly educated black proffessional and for you to make such a statement as a law enforcement official makes you just as big an idiot as the people you are baggering. We did not recently kill our husband and dump their body and car anywhere those were the people before you crossed the tracks so maybe when you make your phone calls try thomaston street side first.
Now that wasn't very nice! You shouldn't judge a person by the actions of others. On the other hand, this really does concern me. You have to be really careful these days. There are so many troubled people in the world. I sure would have hated to have been the one working at Subway. I bet they were scared for their life!
When i see dreads they might as well have a mask on cause I'm thinking they are looking to "move" something. And if anybody thinks about responding and telling me off...save it! Or shine it up, twist it side ways and shove it straight up your candy-@$$
Well ghost, I have to admit that of all the comments you have put this one is the most shallow. I am sorry that dreads seem to be a sign of deviancy. Perhaps you should also do a bit more research before issuing threats.
Dreadlocks have been a part of the history of every spiritual system. In other words, they are history for us all. From Christianity to Hinduism, locked hair has been been a symbol of a highly spiritual person who is trying to come closer to God(s). If one is to research the spiritual history and meaning of locks, they will be mentioned in all holy books (theologians feel the biblical Sampson wore his hair in dreadlocks, and his unsurpassed strength was lost when Delilah cut off his seven locks of hair) and cultures. Dreadlock's roots are commonly traced back to Hinduism and the God Shiva, but stops there.
Meanwhile, most people recognize that dreadlocks have their origin in Africa , but nobody seems to know where, how or why!
Dreadlocks must be used as a hair washing substitute because everytime I see someone wearing dreadlocks, it looks like they haven't washed their hair since itstarted to grow. To me that make the rest of their hygine look nasty too.
It's that first impression thing. And remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression. So, those of you with the dreaded dreadlocks, you're making a nasty impression.
And I agree with ghost. If you don't like it, before you comment - he has already explained where you can stick it
awe dont give me that "white man has better opportunity crap" tell me how. I graduated 10yrs ago and WE ALL had the same opportunities. YALL need to get over that BS. I was just looking at the Police report and saw someone that i grew up with and was in school with is in there. He sits his sorry butt on Richardson st, Mill st, 12th street, TOT lot playing B-ball, etc every single day.(with dreads) and isnt productive in anyway. How did i have a better chance than he did and many many others in barnesville. I was raised by a single mother that made less than 20k a year and i went to the rat infested Lamar County High with all the other hoodlums. I got out of school and attempted Gordon for a year and it wasnt for me. I went to work in Law Enforcement. (I dont work there anymore by the way).
Evidentlly your sorry @$$ was sitting over on 12th street too. You seem to know a great deal about the location. You are probably a recovering meth addict. Is that the reason you are no longer with law enforcement because you couldn't pass the drug screening or was is your racism that got you fired? I know that you dont retire from any job after 10 yrs so what happened? Are you bitter because now you have to stand an unemployment lines behind the dread heads?
Ohh bless your heart. I just saw this one. 10.1
Yea i know about the area. Who doesnt. There isnt a street in barnesville or Lamar county that i havnt went down i would bet.
I got tired of the over worked/under paid lifestyle of the Law enforcement field. I make almost twice as much as i did before and work literally half the hours. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
Recovering meth addict? Nope, i never cared for any of that stuff.
Racism: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
This is not the case. I dont feel that any race is superior to another. Yes i do know and feel that black ppl are more violent and commit more crimes than any other race. The studies are available to view and discuss. Why is this so hard for blacks to accept. It doenst mean by no means that all of them are bad. Like ive said before, most of you are in denial about the whole thing.
Once again. Have you ppl watched the youtube.com video of Ni&&a day 07 that was filmed here in barnesville. Why are you still avoiding my challenge for everyone to watch it and discuss. I think that it is embarrassing to most of you all that are black too but cant justify so much ignorance at once.
I didnt choose to stand on the corner of 12th and Mill and sell dope or hang out in "the hole" behind the police station. It isnt my fault that a lot of ppl are restricted to where they can work because of previous drug charges or theft, burglary etc. That doesnt mean that i had a better head start in life it just means that i didnt have to live up to the Thug Image that is sought after by most Black young men. Here is an example of the ignorance that floats around barnesville.Right click and choose copy, then right click and paste up top. I want everyone to see it and know how to access it. No excuses now.
well it wont let me post the link. go to youtube and search barnesville (n word ending with "A")Ni**a day. See how embarrassing that is for this community.
You can try to justify it all you want but it is what it is. And for the comment about the dreads being a religious symbol, yea im sure that is what they are going for.. Ok..yea.
and another thing post 6.3
Job cuts shouldnt make ppl more "prone" to commit crimes. That should be motiviation for their sorry butts to get out and search for another job. So what if they were making 13hr and got layed off and now they can only get 8.50hr for now. Suck it up cupcake. Bite the bullet and go with it. There is no way shape, form or fashion that you can justify someone commiting crimes. Yes that includes the trailer trash couple that killed that other man. No one said that a specific race is perfect. I did say that blacks ,especially to be a minority, is responsible for probably 60% of all criminal activity in Georgia. Look at the stats for the Georgia department of corrections. Blacks rule the prison system but the thing is when you look at the white percentages they also include, chinses, vietnamese, mexican, etc. So for the most part if you are black you are labeled as black but anything else is considered white with very few exceptions. Trust me.. ive been there.
Wow! Can you say heated? I went to Lamar County and I never saw one single rat there........hmmmmm...sounds like someone may have went to Barnesville Academy instead!
I did go to BA until it got closed down but i was too young to really remember.
You gotta be awake to see the rats. They move very quickly. Is that the only valuable info you have to add to this very informative and toe smashing discussion.

My friend, who is black, Gets special college grants for being black and he get to go to a all black college. Were are the all white colleges? Does anyone know how I can get a grant for being white? What is the phone number to the national association for the advancement of WHITE people? Why is it that potential employer is required by law to hire a certain amount of black people even if a white person is more qualified? What channel is W.E.T (white entertainment television)? When is WHITE history month? When is “honkey” day? Who is the WHITE Ms. America?

Where is the white day? Its everyday of the 365 days in a year. We have one month dedicated to black people and it just so happens to be the shortest month in the year (Feb 28 days). Where is your white televison? Did you foget about CMT (country music television), VH1, MTV, and almost every other channel on tv. Colleges Yale, Princeston, Stanford, Harvard, etc, etc. And the reason that we have an NAACP phone number is for inequality amongst the black society. If we were given the upscale jobs that the white community had we wouldn't need an NAACP to complain too. White day is everyday you go to Giant Mart parking lot and see groups of you skateboarding hippies playing your loud music and having a great time in the parking lot with police doing nothing verses a couple of blacks congregating anywhere getting harrassed by police. When you whites get pulled over in Mayberry (Barnesville) you get told to have a good night when we get pulled for having a decent ride we have to be drug dealers or criminal affiliates. I work hard to afford my 4 bedroom 3 bath 2 story home and my SUV I dont sell drugs. I graduated from Barnesville high school. I went on to receive my bacherlors degree in criminal justice. Where is the justice? How many of your ancestors where ever burned alive, torched for being white, or lynched?
Thank you for your comments 'Educated black woman'. I can certainly read your frustration with history and the system that is in place now. I do respectfully disagree with you though as I also disagree with white folks who point a finger at black folks and fall into anger mode. Neither is the correct way to get our society back on track.
White day is not 365 days a year. Those days are reserved for humanity. ALL of mankind. What MLK did is not limited to February. Anyone in America is free to honor him any day of the year.
Oh, and I am sorry but I do not subscribe to white TV through DirecTV. Last I checked that was not an actual package. If it were though I doubt it would include CMT (now that Darius Rucker is part of the rotation....oh, and because Charlie Pride helped forge modern country music), VH1 (owned by Viacom which is a Jewish owned and operated company), and MTV (which has a heavy R&B rotation).
As for colleges? Ivy League schools are not limited to white students as our new president himself is a Harvard graduate. Oh, not to mention lesser known individuals like Ruth Simmons, president of Brown University.
I am quite fond of the NAACP. Their work in health care and education are second to none. They have a highly talented staff and exist to do more than just hear complaints from black folks. They offer a plethora of programs that empower all colored people - which is not limited to African-American.
To address your congregation instance. I have not seen the first cop ask the gentleman in front of the old BP station to "move along" nor have I seen them haul those guys to jail.
I have never been pulled over in Mayberry (as you choose to call it)......you know what? That brings up a good point. If you are as displeased with your community and feel led to refer to it even as Mayberry, perhaps you should become more involved with the community and programs that seek to enhance it.
I am glad you work hard for your 4/3 and SUV. I am sure I work equally as hard for my 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom. I don't sell drugs either. I have a college degree as well and now that I think about it, I am offended that you have infected my mind with what may be called "ramblings" of a self-titled educated black woman.
SOOOOOOOOO what did you folks think about the youtube.com search for Ni**a day 07 that was filmed and put up on there for the whole world to see. Let me know. Just curious of how that is going to be justified. Our future in training. What a shame!
OK, can we get back to the armed robbery at Subway?
While this whole racial discourse has been enlightening, NOT, I'd like to know if there are any suspects.
I think Subway may have a camera on the premises, has that been checked?
I wish this website could post footage of crimes in progress and ask the public to call in anonymous tips and sweeten the deal by offering a reward. Bet that would clean up our streets and fill up our jails.
Footage of crimes in progress? Why, if you or I were able to take footage of a crime in progress, would we not intervene or call 911 directly rather than post them here and wait for calls.
Are you talking about posting surveillance video AFTER a crime has taken place?
Don't you watch "America's Most Wanted"?
The camera catches a crime in progress, John Walsh introduces the segment, the clip is played, then John Walsh calls on the American viewer to "do the right thing and call in now, Let's put this low-life scumbag in jail where he belongs."
That's what I mean about posting the clip.
It was sort of a joke but I see it didn't really go over so well....
I am a white male and every time I drive through a black neighborhood I get pulled over and searched. I am 25yrs old and drive a very nice truck. I have NEVER in my life touched a single drug. I have a friend who is a cop and he told me that the reason I get pulled over is because “white people are easy to profile”. According to him if a white person is in the Mill street area they are probably looking for dope because if they weren’t the blacks in that area would beet the snot out of them for being white. BUT it is acceptable for a black person to be in a white neighborhood, therefore nothing is suspicious about them. I understand that 50yrs ago things were different, but the tables have turned. I also understand what my friend was telling me, but I have to go to this black neighborhood once a month because I own property there and I have to pick up my rent money. As far as whites having every month other than February, that’s just not true. When I was in school, all the way through college, I was taught history as it happened. The teachers didn’t skip over a part of history just because it included a black person and it wasn’t February. The fact is that it is the black society who are holding on to racism. Obama is a prime example of this. The majority of whites were willing to vote for Obama and did not care about his skin color, yet only 2% of blacks were willing to vote for the white man. Obama has went through great measures to hide his birth certificate because he is listed as Caucasian on it and he is scared that blacks wont be as eager to vote for him if they are made aware of that little fact (by the way that was discovered by his college records. He still hasn’t released his birth certificate). Even a long time black republican, Colon Powell, swapped over and voted for Obama. The television stations that you mentioned are not dedicated to whites. CMT, for instance, is often hosted by “cowboy troy”, a black man. Blacks not only have the same opportunity’s as the white, but they have a competitive edge ( thanks to affirmative action). My ancestor’s were put through much of the same treatment as the blacks, they were indentured servants. I understand you being made about slavery, as am I, but what you should realize as your ancestors were also slaves in Africa. Other blacks sold your ancestors to the whites. If anything their living conditions only got better when they were brought to America. The reason I say this is because slaves were expensive for the white to buy and they had to protect their investment. The blacks on the other hand were just rounding up their undesirables and working them, they had no money invested in them. Are you aware that the most slaves ever owned by one man in American history were owned by a free black man in New Orleans?
to post 19. They will probably say that you are lying and bla bla bla. Its not gonna do any good to explain things on here. A lot of them know both sides of things just as you are explaining them but it doesnt benifit them to agree. They are looking for a pat on the back or sympathy. Any slave that is still living, i would be glad to buy them 40 acres and a mule. Other than that, you 20,30, and 40 yr olds need to quit leaning on the past and using it as a crutch to slide you by in life. Sure, no doubt about it, the stuff that happened was bad. I think everyone could agree. BUT why is that still hendering you today. If you put in a bid to paint the courthouse in Clayton Co. and there is another person that puts in a bid that is higher ,but they are a minority, they will get the bid. Dont believe me? Inmates were even gonna paint the state offices in Atlanta (free of charge) but the state said that a minority had to do it. They had to find ppl to put in bids that was a minority. WHY IS THAT. Its rediculous.
And educated black woman..lol
If you raise your child up with the frustration towards the white ppl just as you have presented to us, how is that going to make things better. You are still sour about things that happened 200 yrs ago. Let it go. It in no way affected you directly. You have had every opportunity in the world to better your life and become somewhat successful.
Did you watch the youtube.com video that i described in earlier post. Im still waiting on a response from that.
That is BS about getting pulled over. There has been no where near the black ppl getting pulled over as there has been white. When i was 15-18 it wasnt anything for me to get pulled over 3 times a week and get harrassed. My mom has complained many many times when i was younger about it.
Sure if you have a 83 caprice classic with 24" rims and a new paint job every 6 months, and the police are supposed to look for suspicious activity, and then they see the car for 15 hrs a day running here there and everywhere like they are the freaking UPS truck.. Sound suspicious to me. When does this person work to afford 300 per tire when its time for new ones or the 2400 dollars that the rims and tires cost that he just put on there. He does nothing but ride barnesville 10x more than John Dixson does. Does this not seem suspicious to black ppl too. Its obvious over here, Just go to the car wash and watch the two tone chevy come in and out and meet ppl. You dont need to wash your car but so many times a day. Or what about a person that comes out of the store reaking of weed that just bought 4 boxes of blunts and the police is in the parking lot. 9 times out of 10 hes got weed. Ive been there and done that. Dont try to justify actions of others that are careless and sometimes useless and a burdon on society just because of their race. Same thing with the redneck idiots that goes in the gas station to get some beer. If he smells like beer and gets behind the wheel and the police know about it they will pull them over.
Its very simple. You are just in denial about your particular race. I have no problem admitting that there are some stupid stupid stupid white ppl but i will also tell you there are a great deal more blacks like this than white. Take it for what its worth. Ive got charts and graphs to prove it... oh and the youtube video too.. No one is gonna comment on that..lol
its very hard for me to believe that every time you go through a black neighbor hood that you get searched. I dont like calling ppl liars but im gonna have to throw the BS flag up on this one. Ive had my share of searches but i dont believe for one minute you get searched each time you go to pick up rent.. NO WAY.
I don’t get pulled over very much anymore because I have learned to pick up my rent during daylight hours or either send a black employee of mine to get the rent money for me. Its funny that my employee never gets pulled over when he goes to the rent house, yet I will get stopped ATLEAST 1 out of 5 times that I go.
Now that we have a Black man in the highest office, do we still need things like "Affirmative action", and the NAACP?
At what point in this nation's time line will we be able to treat all Americans equally?
