DOES A FRIEND REALLY LAST A LIFETIME OR IS IT TEMPORARY!?

Im originally from NJ but i moved to Georgia a few years ago,before i came down i was like the typical cat from the hood and so was my "friends". I was sure that me moving to Georgia would never effect my relationship wit my friends, I mean,they can come visit,new scenery, new women etc. but i couldnt be more wrong in fact not only did it effect the relationships that  i had with these people it also changed the way i viewed my entire childhood! As young black males we always hear the cliche lines like...I'LL RIDE FOR MY HOMIE,I'LL NEVER SNITCH ON MY PEOPLE,MONEY OVER B*ITCHES, you get the idea..but in REALITY how many of these so-called laws get broken on an everyday basis!I've seen men play each other for a little popularity, I've seen men snitch and I've seen many men lose their hard earned money over women so i guess it's all "ghetto mythology"!Now i explain this just to make the point that everything is not really what it seems no matter how many times you hear it or no matter how long you've been living by it, fact is,until the issue comes up you will NEVER know how one will respond in a pressure situation.When i came to GA i knew my friends were only a phone call away but gradually through the years things started to change..no phone calls no vacation planning even the conversation seemed to have become worthless.At first i didnt know how to take it and i would get angry or feel like my friends were never really my friends but after a while it all made sense, I had fell into the "OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND" category.This seems to be somewhat natural seeing as how we all have a family member that you have love for but you only see him/her on holidays, so until that holiday you think about him/her as much as you think about crashing your car into a tree! Friends are supposed to be there when you are doing good or bad. friends are going to lend you money, friends are supposed to listen to your sad stories and tell you it's alright BUT move to another state,lose everything you own, fall on severe hard times,do a crime and go to jail or just try to be a 100% honest and then watch the reaction of the person that you think is your BFF! Im just sayin,when the average person gets older than 40 a mans' best friend is either their wife,son or dog maybe we should start asking them what they think friendship really is..

IS IT OK TO SPEAK ON ANOTHER RACE IF YOU ARE NOT OF THAT RACE?

Thanks to Dr.Laura and her entertaining display of first amendment racism this question has been the topic of many debates for the past week or so.Like many others,I personally feel that her antics were extremely disgusting,BUT I am also pleased that she did what she did. Now I know that sounds funny especially because im black (LOL) but the fact is that this is how many if not the majority of white people feel but they have to hide it and smile for the camera..! Since President Obama stepped in office a lot of white americans have been losing their minds thanks to media outlets such as FOX news and organizations like the TEA PARTIES,we all know this! Even the good white people that believe in equality are in shock over the racist acts of their peers.My point is that It is IMPOSSIBLE to have a "racial discussion" when no one will address the "WHITE SUPREMACY" that controls basically all the functions in american society..such as media,marketing,big business etc..This does not apply to ALL white people at all because these supremist will use their own kind as pawns to keep the division between us and it works!! So until the issue of white supremacy is brought to a conversation the answer is NO you can not use the "N"word nor express your opinion about another race because there is no point to try to understand ours until we ALL understand WHITE SUPREMACY!
