LOL at OP asking why they be in the hood so much, they peach in white neighborhoods too, Jewish neighborhoods is the toughest ones to peach in.
If a hood a too dangerous they simply will not go there, there was Projects in Chicago that JW didn't peach in because it simply wasn't safe.
This thread reminds me of someone in the religion who used to go to a congregation in the hood in Brooklyn and now lives in Westchester which is a suburb of NYC. Said in a talk he preferred preaching in Brooklyn over Westchester cause the people was nicer
And this was a white guy too
