Walmart on Crenshaw @ Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd

so my new roomate was like "Walmart is where you should go. They got everything!". I look up the one that's close to us, and find this right here http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=11846867237956612892&q=walmart&gl=us&hl=en&cd=1&cad=src:ppreviews,view:text&ei=AzpAS4-dBpKKtQOHhMHLDg&dtab=2&pcsi=11846867237956612892,0&geocode=Fe_zBgIdYFny-A

LMFAO!

so I was like hell nah I'm not going in that shit hole. I went to Ross instead that's like on the 42nd Street. I love the sheets I got from there but the pillow I got sucks. It feels like rubber, and I need a lot of other stuff so my roommate is like "I don't know why you so against Walmart but they got ALL YOU NEED FOR DIRT CHEAP!". So I was like fuck it, and went there. It is ghetto, it is nothing but hood folks, but it's not that bad. It's like the more I live here, the more I go to places like East LA, King Blvd, Crenshaw Mall, etc.. the more I realize it's all the same shit. It's not a warzone like you see on the news. I mean shit can pop off ANYWHERE at ANY PLACE, but the main streets, with malls, shops, is all just a bunch of people walking, talking, buying, shopping. If you want to see the hood and where the war zones are, you gotta go deep inside farther from the main streets and into the areas of where people dwell.

But yeah, it was mostly black folks up in there. The area is mostly black. I was driving around like DAYMN! I'm the only white dude up in this bitch. I heard that the Jungle, where they filmed Training Day, is right next to this Crenshaw Mall. There is like a 1 street that leads in there. And when the ambulance comes, there is 2 Police cars that usually escort it. Speaking of Police cars, there was tons of them in the parking lot! I was like daymn, all these cars just parked and some 50's circling around the area.

I got me a rice cooker, a pillow for $2.50 (yeah, it's that cheap), an iron for like $7, some cups and dishes, and a whole bunch of other stuff (food mostly).

Omg, what a horrible display of ignorance. If in fact you are really Caucasian, you've got to be the most stupid "one " I've come across. I think if you'd explore what was going around you would have known the reason for all those police cars is because there is a police station inside the mall as well as any mall that I've been to. The way you talk and word your comment, I actually thought you were apart of the "black stereotype". The lack of correct punctuation and despicable grammar, you sound like you would fit in just fine. I guarantee when you arrived at the Walmart of choice, that all the "black people" were not a bit much worried about you, I promise. You were just another white man in our little black world. Word of advice, get street smart, because the knowledge in your cranium has depleted! Your ignorance will precede you!

wow... brutal.

I am not good with people. I don't usually know what is going on around me. I am aware of this! I have a hard time seeing the big picture. This is all part of me. This stems from an overprotective mother, no father in my life whatsoever, and no male role models. I do not have brothers, sisters, or even cousins who have any sort of serious or even non series relationships with me.

I don't have a lot of experience at living in general, and most people simple don't understand me but usually judge me when find out about the real me. This is why I don't like to go out and meet new people, and don't like people, in general. Because at some point I come across an asshole like you who thinks I'm stupid or ignorant or whatever, and I have no real close friends.

When you are raised under totally different circumstances, you would maybe understand. But not in this lifetime...
