I live in Southside and I've seen a couple white people. I've seen them on Guy Brew basically from 109th ave up towards the ave. (jogging, bike riding, hopping on the bus etc.) Wouldn't surprise me to see them start moving in with the areas proximity to Jamaica Center (lirr, E, J,Z trains)

would you rather live among a bunch of poor violent negroes (no 'cism) or elitist, hipster CACs? If you want to be safe, we all know the answer. Yeah, I'd rather Harlem be gentrified by nice professional black people, but there aren't enough of us to do that.

Yes there are.

And yes, :dry: Everyone, in the hood, is a violent criminal hell bent on murder and mayhem.

Wanting to "be around white people" is something that is destroying us...

:stopitslime: get out of here b

we're in a vital location to make moves to the city, out to jersey, to the BX or into LI

We have access to the LIRR, the subway and 3 vital highways (Belt, Van Wyck & Cross Island)

:usure:


Edit: Make it 4 cause the GCP is right there too. Make it 5 because the Clearview is right there too

:blessed:

Here's my simple assessments of black folk in America:

Say you have a child (black ppl) and your the parent (the system).

There's a nice piece of furniture (success and prosperity) you don't want said child touching.

Now, if you don't think the child is strong enough or have the sense to try to reach for it, you leave it on the coffee table. But, if you think the child will come for it, no matter how many times you say "STOP! DON'T TOUCH!" or beat them, you'll keep it somewhere higher (on top on the big TV, a dresser, etc.), because you know they won't stop trying to grab it.

Conclusion: I'm tired of people (Stephen A. Smith for example) actin' as if the problem with black America is that we don't work hard enough to deserve a fair shake.

Even with all the pushback, we've proven to be just as smart and competent as any group of ppl in America (and I'm not even talkin' about havin' a black President). But, that hasn't come without havin' to deal with racist arrest trends, racist housing practices, having to fear upsetting ppl simply because we wear our hair a certain way, horrible school systems mostly filled with black babies, etc.

We've gone through a lot. And our own people complain (especially on here) like all of us are single parents, living in ditches.

We can make it, it's just that; our number one problem is the lack of unity.

I'm just now realizing how important it is for us to unite to become a real economic power, in this country.
