    Go to 8th ave, walk from 140th to 144th, And tell me where the white people at?

    Pardon, 8th is now Fredrick Douglass Blvd. Crazy, Some cabs don't even know 7th & 8th no more. And now they force you to change your mailing address too, or you won't get your mail. so my addy was simple...8th ave, ? . now i gotta write out long ass
    Fredrick Douglass Blvd, ? disgusting B.

    New York as a City is the safest City in America of it's population


    Remember there are poor white people to so just cos a Hood is white doesn't mean it ain't dangerous



    people gotta realize the difference between class & race

    Yeah but in this instance...Ain't no poor white people moving in to Harlem. We talking bout People with money, and they happend to be white. And they building Starbucks and all types of ? so it ain't a hood either. It's nice.

    On a side note that got me thinking....I don't know of poor white people in the city...word, i know poor white people upstate NY, Some in Bayridge BK. But not Manhatten
