Eric Dickerson and Byron Scott talk about how racist Indiana is. Says its no place for Black people
- Thread starter Dr. Truth
- Start date
I am from the midwest, Michigan, to be more specific.
The midwest is not garbage. It's "up south".
That's worse. The land and water are (were) beautiful, though.
I have made the trip from Detroit to Chicago via 1-94 many, many times.
I ALWAYS try to avoid stopping for gas, to piss, to eat...for ANYTHING in Indiana.
The ground there is sour. Racism so thick you can cut it with a knife.
It's like half the population is the result of incest.
It’s seriously feeling like thats happening.
The racist cowards feel emboldened
Aren’t y’all tired of this? What is the solution so our kids, grandkids, and great great grandchildren aren’t as affected by racism as us and our ancestors? Here you have 2 millionaire athletes complaining about racism that they experienced in 1994. Then we have multiple brothers sharing their experiences in this post. Why are these brothers sharing these stories now? Why didn’t they make a stand when it happened? The average median household income in the US in 1994 was 32k/year. The median home price in the US was 130k. Dickerson made 1.4 million a year since 1983. Byron Scott made 650k in 1993 and almost 8 million over his career. They had the power to have significant influence in broke ass Indiana. IMO, the key to change isn’t complaining and hoping CAC treat us better. We have to make them do it. We get that power via economics.
Yeah, they bout feel pain here shortly(already really). It's already started, dollar is collapse, gold is up,(we mostly don't have any at Ft Knox. Our global trade partners are starting to realize Trump is really a dumbass(Korea, India), the scare tactics ain't working Russia/Venusuela. Yeah, it's gone be an extremely rough ride soon...
According to you the way to change is not vote or vote for Elon musk. FoH
anything he’d run for you worship him
You are bringing him up. In your post.
You came in my thread telling two Black men to stop crying about racism because they are millionaires. Type of shit crackas say.
MAGA BROTHER!!! THESE COLORS DON’T BLEED! WHITE PAWER!!!
Unfortunately, Indiana is my home state. Fortunately for me, I left for good nearly twenty years ago, but wound up in another snake pit (Texas). Indiana's always been racist, but it seems like they've gotten much, much worse and more radical during the MAGA era. I worked in Bloomington and lived in Indianapolis when both Byron Scott and Eric Dickerson were in Indy and they are both speaking absolute truth. In fact, Reggie Miller almost retired early after some crackers burned down his brand new mansion to the ground. Like Eric said, it's not a good place for a black man.
there was a documentary on this.
I'm just going to leave this here...
No social media, lot of the population still didn’t even have cable so you know they didn’t have the internet, harder to be an independent media platform to put info out… now all these things exist and it’s easier to tell their story.. people talk about relationships from decades ago and nobody has a problem, yet when 2 black men who were rich athletes telling you their stories you have a problem? Think even millionaires going through the bullshit out there so imagine the average black man or black people in poverty
Did they misspell america?
,^^^^^
Because it is.
And many black folk voted for it
And so called good people just sitting backwatching it happen
Bruh that nigga worships Elon musk and doesnt want Black folks voting Democrat. Like money makes you exempt from racism. Shits pathetic
Being from Gary, and living elsewhere in the state now, it’s easy to see for me why a lot of my relatives never wanted to go south us 30 or East of County line Road (Lake Co). This place is a trip.

You misunderstood my points.
My points are:
1.) Racism has impacted us for multiple generations, we must take a different approach to combat it than we have in the past.
2.) I used the example in the original post that these 2 influential and wealthy brothers did not take a stand when it happened (i.e. complained to media, refused to play, complained to to NBA, financially support candidates who represented their interests etc etc.) These brothers were silent when it happened and complaining about it now 30 years later.
3.) To invoke real change, we need to focus on empowering ourselves economically and demanding support for our interests. This is how Asians, LBGTQ, Jews and other groups gained more political clout than Black folks.
You posted a thread and instead of complaining and whining about the subject, I'm posting my perspective of a solution. I did not mention Elon Musk at all. You keep mentioning him while claiming i'm the one worshiping him.
Born and raised in Gary as well. Growing up in an almost all-black environment that was much more Chicago than Indiana, we were shielded from the real truth of Indiana. It wasn't until I left home for college that I learned the truth. Ball State was my undergrad school, and it was driving to the campus in Muncie for the first time with my family that I learned just what kind of a state I was living in. Muncie and most all of the small towns around it like Anderson, Alexandria. Yorktown and Elwood were all "sundown towns" and had a heavy KKK presence well into the 80s. Just driving through those towns, even though we didn't know anything about them at first, was frightening. Once I started school, a lot of my black friends were from Marion which was about fifty miles from Muncie. I learned from them that probably the most famous picture of a lynching in American history took place in Marion:
Hell of a state we're from brother, and it seems to be getting worse.
Right, only black folks I routinely dealt with in GI were the folks at the convenience store in Black Oak where I’d get squares for my mom from and a few folks from the west side of Glen Park who were friends and went to Lew Wallace. In the 90s when black folks started moving to Merrillville the racist there were a trip until they got out of town. But it was still that shield like you said, and like you fam, the further down 65 I went after HS, realized what a bubble we had, now I look back fondly on how GI taught me to love myself and my people, because we were all we had.Born and raised in Gary as well.
