Cow Manure.

Whites are only weary of hoodlums in black neighborhoods.

Blacks on the other hand often have reason to be weary of everyone from retail workers to POLICE officers in white neighborhoods.

If blacks feel unsafe in white neighborhoods than why do they keep moving there? And, the police officers in white neighborhoods here are the SAME ones that patrol the black neighborhoods, it's not separate.

I'm with you 100%.
If more people looked at things this way we'd have less of these types of idiotic threads being started up.

I disagree, a black neighborhood would accept a white person living there much less than a white neighborhood would accept a black person.

You must live in fantasy land because there are many black areas that I wouldn't get out of my car in. Affluent white neighborhoods, if they are racist at all, are much more subtle.

To even try to equate the white experience with the black experience in America is extremely insulting. Blatant institutional discrimination and racism against blacks was practiced in this country into the 1970s. Whites have never had crosses systematically burned on their lawns from moving into the wrong neighborhood, whites were never casterated and hung for dating a black woman, whites aren't racially profiled by police, when a white woman is violated or is missing the national media comes to her defense, whites have never faced exclusion from istitutions and occupations, whites have never been obliged to call a black person sir or maam under the threat of violence, white families were never torn apart because family members were sold away like cattle, whites have never been confined to living in an underserved part of a city.

The thing about history is that it affects the present. The world wasn't created in 1970. Things have gotten better, but don't try to patronize people of color and beat your chests about "injustices" that whites face.

(Parts of DC can be very Black power oriented)

However, I would have to say some poorer black neighborhoods, that are "black power" oriented in LA would seem to be a little hostile to whites. Hehe, but they are hostile to blacks as well if you're not part of the "black power movement." Any city you name where you precieve blacks are being hostile to white, you should see how those same blacks treat educated suburban blacks (it is much worse).

The strangest thing is that southern blacks who are treated far worse by whites than most blacks are the nicest people when they encounter whites (not sure if they're just scared of them or what, but at least that is what i noticed).
Wooooweee! I do declauh dat some of my peeps done forgot to tell me 'bout dis black powa thang.

No one said anything about whites as a whole having it as bad as blacks so why take so much offense? The question was simple: what are the areas that are anti-white. It's a perfectly legit question and no one said that whites have faced the same institutional racism that blacks have. But, its not 1970 anymore and there is no institutional racism against blacks. There are, however, many neighborhoods that white people would be foolish to go into, many more than the opposite is all I was saying.

yes, yes, this makes so much sense. A group of people that murderd, raped, and piliged black areas of the south are now scared to enter all black neighborhoods. I do not know one self respecting white southern that is scared of a black person. (As said to me by a southern white person, although i changed what he used for a black person). Dude, you're so logical. Makes perfect senese considering whites only murderd well over 6000 blacks from 1860-1950 in the south. Most blacks in the south are scared crapless of white folks.

It is an unusual question to say the least, but I will respectfully disagree on all of these NYC neighbourhoods.

I have worked in all of them: Brooklyn: BedStuy, Crown Heights, Brownsville, ENY, etc., the Bronx (all over) and have friends of both shades of skin in Harlem, I have never, and I mean never been threatened for a second and my skin colour is neutrally rosy.
