No. If y'all Americans have such a segregated society it's basically because this nation was built on slavery, and the idea of white supremacy. Hence the fact y'all see everything by the prism of skin color, or "race" like you say. Slavery brought the "race" concept to the forefront, and it has ruled american society to this day.
Now that I think of it, people from Europe are full of **** when they play this line.
The US elected the son of a Kenyan Muslim to be the President. Get back to me when something like this happens in Europe!
There's no neighborhood called "West Flatbush". It's just plain ol' regular Flatbush.
In any case, I'm not sure why, but for whatever reason, I've seen it listed a million times that East Flatbush is worse than Flatbush and I think most of those posters are full of ****. There are good and bad sections of both areas (and generally, more good sections than bad ones).
FWIW, In that area, Flatbush Avenue is kind of the dividing line between black neighborhoods and white neighborhoods in that part of Brooklyn (Midwood is mostly white, especially Jewish, while Flatbush & Flatlands are mostly black)
They're subway lines.
Basically, most of the areas along the A/C lines are black neighborhoods (southern Bed-Stuy, northern Crown Heights, Ocean Hill, East NY).
Along the J/Z, west of Broadway Junction, it runs over (as in over the physical street) Broadway, which is the dividing line between Bed-Stuy (which is more black), and Bushwick (which is more Hispanic), though both areas have both blacks & Hispanics. East of Broadway Junction, the areas along the J/Z are mostly Hispanics, with some Blacks, but not that many.
Along the L line, pretty much all the black neighborhoods are south of Broadway Junction. (East NY & Canarsie).
In any case, I would say to look in the general Flatbush/Crown Heights area and see what works for you. (Generally, the closer you are to the subway lines, the more bustling the area is, which is why I would rule out many parts of East Flatbush. Not because of safety issues, but because it might be too quiet for your tastes. Same thing with much of Canarsie and pretty much all of Flatlands)
So I'm assuming the whole triangle of crown heights part of bed stuy and brownsville is black
For the most part it is black, especially north of Eastern Parkway. The area bounded by Eastern Parkway and Empire Blvd that is west of Utica could have some blocks that are Jewish, but don't worry, they won't rent to you. No offense, they probably wouldn't rent to me either.
