Blacks and other nonwhites do fear Jews. You do the math.
Why should nonwhites fear whites or anyone else for that matter?

Do you advocate rape, lynching, and other abhorrent behaviors as a means of control?

I just don't bother asking people to turn their sound down. It's not like someone who is in his 20s doesn't realize blasting music on a subway or wherever is anti-social.

If they only offend white gentiles nothing happens to them.

Nonwhites are protected by the Jewish establishment. Accept the obvious.

Nonwhites fear being called antisemites, which is why they tend to be very submissive to the Jews.
I'd argue that it's because Jews have the power in this country. Whites still hold power but can now be held accountable for their racism as opposed to the past, so now that racism is more subtle, everyone would like to declare that racism doesn't exist and we're all one big happy family. What a load of crap. Racism is alive on ALL sides.... Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians... Same crap. Just more undercover. To some degree I think blacks don't fear whites as much or are just fed up with the uneven playing field and just don't care, and as a white male I'd say that the playing field is certainly not even, at least not here in NYC. Just look at who has the high paying jobs here overall. Whites still get the good paying jobs in the corporate world, live in the nicer neighborhoods, have the connections to get ahead and so on whereas blacks generally don't have that and I believe that there is a level of resentment there, so even something as small as them not turning down their music can be a moral victory for them.

OP is getting attacked in this thread for speaking the truth. Ethnicity and culture has everything to do with this city within the context of everyone trying to make it.

I'm native and its always been evident that this city is heavily segregated. Not just along ethnic lines but also along cultural boundaries.

Over the years (I was born in the mid 80's), this city has become less white so the ethnic boundaries have become much more visible. By the same token, certain ethic groups (mostly from the Caribbean) have taken to hating on whites. Why? "Whites have all the good jobs and all of the money". Back in their countries of origin they fought each other like cats and dogs and here in NYC they've found a common enemy in whites. Btw, I'm not talking about native Black Americans, the 18 or so of them left in NYC.


I've had friends visit me and nearly all of them commented on the racial undertones that are all too visible in this city. It's not a bad thing. It is what it is.

Excellent post. I agree 1000% with everything you've said. The people that are yelling that race and ethnicity have nothing to do with anything are living in fantasy worlds and don't want to face reality. Just because we have a biracial president in the White House doesn't mean that we're all one big happy family. Far from the truth... The racial undertones in this city in my mind have become worse, not better.

Those denying the clear ethnic and cultural undertones in this city baffle me.
Just take a look at the neighborhoods.

This is what makes NYC so palatable for immigrants. Everyone can live in their own bubble.

That happens to me all the time: white, black, asian - you name it. Some cross the street late at night. Some women are really careful and when they see some guy walking in their direction whom they do not know, they clutch their bag.

No big deal.

Yeah but I think it's border line paranoia. I have to wonder how some of these woman meet men if they clutch their bag every time they see a man coming their way. How ridiculous. I've seen the same thing with women, regardless of what race the male is and it gets rather old after a while. I actually get a kick of out it sometimes and play the game. If I have a bag with me I'll clutch mine as well just to show them how stupid they look. Some of them are shocked when I do it too, as if to say how dare you clutch your bag at me as if you don't trust me, but they can do it though. Works both ways. LOL

Have they become worse? I can't say. I haven't seen them becoming worse. I've seen them simply shift.
It's no longer a white/black thing. It's a Russian/Central Asian thing, a Caribbean/White thing, A Jewish/Southeast Asian Muslim thing, A Brooklyn Chinese (Fujian) v Manhattan Chinese (Cantonese/Fuzhou) etc. The racial undertones have fragmented and taken on a more nuanced flavor.

Every borough and areas within a borough have their own dynamics.
