Why Can't A White Man Walk in Harlem without Getting Beat Up or Killed?

I'm white.

I've walked through Harlem

I've walked through Capreenie Green in Chicago.

No one ever messed with me about anything. I did my business with some friends and went about my merry way.

La la la la.

Ya brother the inner city crime is black on black because the whites are smart enough to stay the fuck outta there. Take it from someone who has had guns pointed at em down in good ol Detroit Michigan being a light skinned guy in the ghetto "hell i'm not even all the way white" but it don't matter ITS NOT THE PLACE TO BE. The dc's brothas must be different from the Detroit ghetto roaches oh hehe i forgot detroit has the highest murder rate in the nation my bad =p.

well maybe you have bad luck. DC used to be the murder capital of the world, so walking though south east or anacostia aint' exactly walking in the park.

Like I said, trouble finds those who look for it.

I'm not trying to say that everyone in the ghetto is all nice and friendly, but the ghetto ain't exactly a nice and friendly place to live. Also you don't see any middle to upper class black folks driving through the ghetto, so it isn't really a black on white thing, it's more of a class thing if you ask me.

Agreed its a class thing more than strickly race but a higher class black guy still stands a better chance with his own than a higher class white guy in the same neighborhood. Highly educated blacks try and distance themselves from the ghetto just as much as whites so once again agreed its a class thing.

Two friends of mine, both white, lived in Harlem this past summer (on Malcolm X Blvd no less). One was working at a law firm and the other was going to NYU for summer classes. No incidents of getting beat up or anything like that.

I have been to a few places in DC, that at first glance, nobody in their right mind would be. But once the ice was broken, and people got to know me, all was cool. :angel:

There are other places in DC (far Northeast and Southeast) that I would not drive through with a fully loaded Secret Service escort in broad daylight.

It all depends on your attitude, and knowing how to handle yourself in uncertain situations. Some people can smell a punk a mile away, and know when to move in for the kill. :destroy:

Like NB said, If you go looking for trouble....
 
I accidently stumbled through Caprini Green... Here in Chicago... on my first weekend... I was hammered and walked right through the middle of the projects... I remember several black people looking at me as if I were crazy... but none advanced on me.

I suppose it was either 1. crazy white guy or 2. a cop

I agree with what is said above... no matter who you are, you should be wondering aimlessly through the "hood"... it's no place for white or black people.

What I find funny is most of you who say you haven't experienced any trouble in these areas have not been there deep into the night. Of course during broad daylight these places are exponentially safer.......but at night, when they think they can get away with it, look out. And it is a race issue......unless you're dressed like a bum. But do any of you honestly beleive that a moderate to well dressed white man could walk through some of the afforementioned projects at night?? You're kidding yourself. A well dressed black man might not get fucked with because they may look at him as a potential high ranking drug dealer, and fucking with him might bring trouble on them. But a white guy?? he's fucked, and you all know it.

THIS IS EXACTLY what I was talking about. People are lying or only kidding themselves if they think otherwise. karma for you bigguy.

Very funny post.


I've been into the heart of Harlem many times and parts of the south Bronx without a problem. From my experience, the people in Harlem have always been respectful and helpful.
