I've been living in Brooklyn for more than 25 years. Never been to Brownsville because there is no reason to go there. Brownsville is unknown to many and forgotten by many others. Whatever happens in Brownsville stays in Brownsville.

I didn't go.

Too much BS during the parades. The uptown festival after the parade is where it really becomes insane. I heard there are cops all over Washington Heights. But it's a real fun environment, you should come through.

Brownsville has been one of the poorest areas of NYC for decades. However I believe the majority of residents are decent people. Like most of the "hoods" in America the crime is caused by a small group of people. The problem is this small group usually has all the decent people scared of them.

I know when we all grow and becomes a success we will not have the pathetic low-self esteem as you since we all believe in each other that we will be successful and destroy every hater in our path who thinks we are supposed to be some type of gang member, or crack addict.

Black folks like you are pretty sad you agree with people who talk about you. That makes you as dumb as the "ghetto" people in the video.
LOL Did you receive a brownsville education? Can you not read? Because I mentioned in one post I have no patience for ANY race, I only mentioned blacks because they are in this topic now. And clearly stated I support positive blacks like gabbu douglas so how could I be "dumb" and "ghetto" as the ones in the video? I support school educated, criminal record free blacks not wastes. You want to support should-have-been-aborted wastes of life like the ones in the video that's on you, but don't give me your whole hungry blacks crap because I can assure you if they were the huge majority the proportion of incarceration to conviction-free highly educated graduates wouldn't be so different compared to other races.Again, good for you with your hungry black friends, but I can assure you they're not the majority. Go to any school in the hood and I can assure you the kid who "wants to make something of himself" does not outweigh the trash.

Lol People like you are the reason the black community are the reason we're in bad shape, you can't take the brutal truth and want to bash those who don't overlook ignorance because of a few "professional blacks" you may know.

I don't respect too many white people either so get your whole "just like the people who hate you" nonsense out. Only race I have a bit of respect for as a whole are asians, we can all learn something from them.

Lol you're probably a democrap, political correctness garbage is a part of you.

Those are only a group of people who live a certain negative lifestyle. Doesn't mean everyone in the race lives it because i most certainly do not, and hate it as well.
This one video is not the reason I gave up on people, MANY other reasons included, this only reinforced it, not caused.

Read my response to your fellow sensitive political correct dominator and that's my answer to you.

Both of you please go to brownsville right now and lay on the floor in front of the projects, please tell me your experience with the race that mostly lives there.

hahah im the reason blacks are in the situation that their in because i cant accept the truth? no buddy i know the truth because i have done research on every black stereotype...have you??? i dont think so.

the truth of the matter is the "majority" of blacks are not in the situation that you claim them to be in. A simple google engine and some time will show all these facts.

blacks are in trouble more then any race in america but are the majority of them are? nope.

i have been to brownsville plenty of times. Im not these city-data folks who talk about places they have never been. I have met some pretty good people in brownsville as well.


i never had an experience with the "race" that lives their because that would be stereotypical. So your saying every human being in brownsville are the idiots in that video? hahahah silly rabbit.
