not as dumb as you think...
[QUOTE=Craven Morehead], the most intelligent SWs I've met have been black.

I wouldn't go so far as to say the BSWs are the most intelligent, but I would agree that they are undoubtedly the most street savvy. And therefore pose a greater mental challenge to most mongers. 95% of the time that I get ripped off or put into a compromising situation its at the hands of a BSW and not necessarily one who could be a Rhodes scholar either.
Case in point, I know many of you go down to North Chicago on occasion looking for Cubic Zirconia's in the rough. There are two BSW's in particular that are incredibly smart (even when they are cracked out & feinding) but more street savvy than most.
Strawberry can recall with incredible details about the first time I picked her up 4 years ago, even though now I wont even slow down for her when she gives me a wave, its because she knows exactly who I am, and how to play ME.
The other used to be part of a skip tracer company and this chick really makes me squirm with what she can recall! Right down to your licence plates... no shit. A few years ago when I renewed my plates, she noticed not only that the plates had changed from the old IL Blue & White stripes to a mini Lincoln, but she noticed my numbers had changed as well! I thought she was BS'ing me at first, but when she told me part of the other plate number & letters and I almost shit a brick.
By the way, both of these chicks are still walking the same streets for well over 4 years, as I pass them up regularly to this this day.
Just because they are hooked on the junk, don't mean they are all dumb. In fact, most of these chicks are just pure street survivors.
