Marsha Waggoner hates black people. - Page 5

This weekend I played some live poker in L.A. I was playing in a pretty soft $25-$50 limit game when Marsha Waggoner came to my table. The very first hand she plays she's involved in a big multi-way pot where one player is all in and three players are still betting. At showdown the lone African-American Player at the table shows a full-house to take down the pot. Marsha is exasperated, I guess because she feels the cards did her wrong, she gives this black guy next to her the stink eye and then tells the rest of the table "I just hope he keeps that up".

The very next hand her and this same black guy are heads up when an innocuous looking card hits the board, Marsha then flashed one of her hole cards to the guy and said "You probally need this for your inside strait." The black guy said "no, that doesn't help me." and proceeded to raise. On the river instead of calling the black guys bet or folding she threw her cards into his unprotected hand in disgust.

A few hands later, Marsha made a very fishy raise. It seemed that her intention was to call a bet but after a few players behind her folded, she threw in some more chips and said that it was a raise. The black guy who was last to act in the hand called her for a string raise. Marsha threw up her hands and said "sure, fine, you can call me on a string raise, that's okay... but what difference does it make to you, you're playing with drug money anyway." The dealer made her take her raise back. Marsha threw her cards at the dealer (who was also black) racked up her chips and left the table.

I find it hard to believe that Marsha would act like this, but it has been many years since I have seen her.

There is a 20-stone Eastern European guy who's a regular at the poker club I used to go to who is known to own a nearby strip club, and who knows what else he's into behind the scenes. He is very loud, sometimes very rude at the tables, trying to crush and bully people he doesn't like. He always has other guys with him lurking in the background. He drops a lot of money, so it's a running joke that if you spend £20 on a lapdance at his club, £19.50 goes to him to feed his poker losses. Now, if (taking my life into my own hands) I was to jibe him at the tables with "I know you make all your money from strippers anyway", would I be being "racist" because he happens to be from Eastern Europe?

Same situation as in the OP.

This thread would only have one reply if the title was different. I say good job OP!

I am assuming this is at Hollywood Park (in Inglewood) or Hustler (in Gardena/Compton). If so, it should be noted that at any given hour (especially late at night) there is between 5-10 black people playing these stakes.

Generally they are Jamaican, wearing some type of urban clothing, with lots of gold jewelry and/or diamonds, including gold teeth caps. I have no clue what they do for a living, or how they get their money to gamble. However, as long as you treat them with respect, these "drug dealers" are unfailing polite and cool, even when losing large sums of $$. They just come to gamble and have a good time, like the Persian, Asian, and white recreational gamblers (a.k.a. fish) that equally frequent this place.

Whether she is right or wrong, for a "professional" pokerplayer to be making such comments (if this did indeed really happen) because she got sucked out on is pretty classless.

Why is it racist to be a realist? I see young gangbangers driving bmw's and escalades, where do you think they get the money for it?

What does "looking" like a drug dealer entail? Being black? wearing jewelry?

[/ QUOTE ]
those 2 + being young and un-educated to where you can tell he didn't even go to college and has no means other than selling dope to fund the jewelry he is wearing/car he drives.

Yeah, they don't have to be drug dealers, they could be thieves or pimps.

On a serious note, why the hell does this stereotype go with black people. I'd wager a good amount that they're a hell of a lot more white people dealing than black. Besides, everyone knows black people can't afford drugs since George Bush has been in office.

I think you seriously need to take a week off and examine your posts. The quality has severly dropped off over the past few weeks. Clearly, you're on post-tilt and not writing your best stuff.
