Why don't you be more specific, and say "What's wrong with black people IN DALLAS?" instead?

Just walk downtown and see for yourself. Constantly being asked for Change, if you want to buy some rock, if you got a cigarette, ect. The McDonalds downtown even has a security guard specifically watching the bathrooms, and you have to show a receipt to get you're purchase, and a cup of water isn't free. This is because crackheads be tryin' to steal yo fuckin' bigmac son.

It's pretty bad this one time I was starving so went to the 125th st popeyes and some crackhead thug held the door for me while shaking an empty cup in my face, when I didnt give him change he almost assaulted me.

I agree, the thugs in downtown Dallas are exactly that, thugs. I also know the EXACT McD's you are talking about too. Will not go there at all. They really should do something to clean that area up ASAP. Most of these "thugs" are transplants that were placed here due to Katrina and have never left.


However, even though the majority are does not mean you have to categorize them as "black" though. Just call them what they are, "Thugs", "Crackheads", "Criminals", etc...


And yes, downtown Ft. Worth is better than downtown Dallas. Better police presence. Although there are the occasional street bums asking you for change and also taking baths in the water gardens. If you are asking what the water gardens are, just watch Logan's Run. The end of the movie has a scene w/ the Ft Worth Water Gardens in it. Of course Ft Worth does have it's bad areasd too like Rosedale. I wouldn't go there at night either! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'll tell you hwat

Kman if you're serious about this talk with me and Shiftin. I'm from the Valley, went to HS in New Braunfels, UT for undergrad, Houston for work, then in San Marcos for grad school and hopefully back to Houston for dental school.

Austin is a great place to live for a few years but it's pricey as hell and if you don't live inside of the two highways you're fucked on traffic. Honestly I'm over Austin and doubt I would ever want to live there again but I love Houston.

Again it's all about where you're able to live in these cities. People who live on the outskirts of Houston seem to hate it but I lived in the Galleria area and it was an incredible place to live, Rice Village is really cool too.

I have a serious dislike for Dallas but I imagine if I go there for school and live downtown I'd end up liking it.

Only advice I offer on Austin is make sure you have a job locked down before moving there, don't expect to show up there and fall into a lifestyle or income you're accustomed to. People are more educated, work for less, and pay more to live in Austin than anywhere else in the state. With that said, it's still probably the best place to live for 4-5 years prior to having a family.
