At this point I truly don’t believe there is a nice part of Memphis. All the areas you thought were nice are getting shot up. They don’t even have a non-hood shopping mall or area anymore since they ran Oak Court into the ground and acting a fool at Wolfchase on the regular.
Detroit has nice suburban areas like Novi you can escape to. Memphis doesn’t have that.
And I understand
My dad told me the other day how most the whitefolks done damn near moved out of certain cities in Louisiana and trying to separate themselves from the black folks in the city, it’s that bad.
Gunshots ringing out every night
Lil 12 year old girl that went to my old middle school was shot and killed last night by because of a domestic dispute between her dumb ass parents and new gf (and they were in their mid 30’s)
My brothers best friend was killed recently
we know it’s bad and we not telling him to not protect himself, we’re telling him he’s worth more than most black men on the planet and has the ability to help people…future players, his community, etc.
And all he has to do is smart basic shyt, like not be a grown ass man dancing around the hood improperly handling weapons for clout.
He has the money to create a fortress for him and his family especially in a place as cheap to live as Memphis. He doesn’t even need it.. you can’t hire 24/7 security? That’s literally like a million.
He’s not doing it to feel safe in Memphis, he’s doing it to fit in in Memphis.
