Absolutely True about the people I knew ... I make no excuses for anyone , and I'm not glorifying it either. I chose NOT to go down that path because I didn't agree with it ... My point and the reason for getting into such detail is that I do know what I'm talking about , I'm not speaking about what goes on from a standpoint of having no experience around it , which is what another poster was suggesting.
And your argument is typical leftist propaganda ... harmless minorities just smoking some weed , not bothering anybody and getting picked on by the racist police ... many of the kids hanging out smoking weed are into other illegal things too , more serious , and at the very least they create an environment that their OWN people have to live in that is uncomfortable and intimidating. Their drug use provides money that funds bad people doing bad things , and that in turn makes their own neighborhoods worse. Just like back in the day when white people used to play the numbers with a bookie. Seems harmless , no big deal , but the fact is that money was going to bad people doing bad things , just like the people who sell weed.
What baffles me is why more people that have to live in bad environments are not more up in arms in anger at the people in their own neighborhoods who destroy their quality of life.
Again you claim that only poor minorities do "bad" things and ignore whites doing COCAINE, METH, various PILLS, MARIJUANA, etc. Or for that matter ALCOHOL.
This isn't leftist propaganda but this is fact.
Of our three latest Presidents, Clinton, Bush, and Obama all three have done drugs INCLUDING COKE.
COKE is a RICH MAN's DRUG and is EXPENSIVE.
Now rich people of course are not jailed for doing cocaine with coke funds all sorts of nasty things.
In fact it amazes me how you claim to be an expert on what non whites finding intimidating or what makes these neighborhoods supposedly so uncomfortable. So on what authority do you speak? Do you have a phd in sociology? Are you a social worker? Have you lived in these neighborhoods?
Somehow I think the answer to all these questions is NO!
Fortunately weed has already been decriminalized to an extent in NY, and there will be continued efforts until we have full legalization. And fortunately stop and frisk has been ended, really making all this a rather moot point.
And what about the harmless black man with a paper bag with soda in it, being subjected to a humiliating strip and search by some cop. Rude as ever. No apologies, just a response saying that "good you didn't bring your gun with you this time. This after being shown ID indicating that this person is a professional.
But no, your refusal to engage in real discourse and your need to peddle racist nonsense is all that you want to peddle.
So run along and equate me, a black MBA from an Ivy League school with your criminal relatives. The cops don't see us as being any different. Yes it is known that a black man with no criminal record gets treated like a white man with a criminal record.
Any way engaging with you is a waste of my time, so I will leave you to wallow in your own ignorance.
You having an Ivy League MBA might make him hate you more. Clearly he comes from a SCUM family and I somehow don't think his life is that good........
And he may share at least some of the sociopathic/violent tendencies of his male relatives. Clearly he has a lack of EMPATHY.

LMAO at your psychoanalysis of me over the internet... And why would I hate anyone for having an Ivy League MBA? That's a great accomplishment.
I don't lack empathy at all. I just won't feed into silly leftist propaganda , and it bothers people like you that the tide is turning in America , people are waking up to the fact that political correctness is a form of mind/thought control , and they are sick of hearing it and playing along with it.
About my family , yeah , the particular people I mentioned were clearly no good. Not my whole family , but those people. And fortunately for me I learned from seeing the path they went down , for me to not take the same path , and I'm a better person because of it.
I don't hate anyone here. I'm not upset or angry or bothered by anyone and anything that's said. You wish I was though , don't you , because clearly I'm getting to you.
Why would someone with a graduate degree from an Ivy continue to live in a crappy high crime neighborhood where stop & frisk is rampant once they are established in their career? Why would you put up with getting harassed every single day of your life when you could simply afford a nicer area to raise your family where crime isn't a major issue?
There is an problem of socialism in education. A problem with cherry picking people. It has nothing to do with atmosphere or where you live. More likely the standing of parents and there families that is corrupted.
About segregation. Yes the fact that people are biased or afraid of other people. Basically the redlining or other scare tactics, have created an invisible problem.
For example you have an actors community which also have an share of texans and other mid-westerners. They do not often see non-Europeans there. But here is the question. We have apartments there for people not making enough income. Living with there family members but why aren't non-Europeans, especially African-decents not taking the jumps on these great apartments. Again it is fear of separation.
Then of course there is the upper west side with an bunch of drug addicts, but nobody isn't bothering them. Nobody is not terrorizing them at all. These people are living in there imagination.
Finally ask yourself, why do you see rows of houses of the same kind of people? I will tell you why? Because the people are living in fear so they buy up the houses, but when these houses go on the market nobody knows about that because the COMMUNITY itself of these people are the only ones purchasing these houses.
In Queens before we had the flood. People who was holding out for there own kind decided to attempt to dump the now water filled, moldy houses on to poor people. People who would have ended up losing there property. In another case some town houses was flooded.
You got people from the South living in Houses faster then people of there own residence. Only people suffering are the innocent.

Dream on if you think you're getting to me. And yes the tide is turning. The anti police brutality movement. The marijuana legalization movement. AND now at the FEDERAL level
Even the Republicans are agreeing to push back sentence minimums in order to greatly reduce the number of people locked up in prisons. Per capita the US has the highest percentage of people locked in prison in the world, in part because of the FAILED WAR on DRUGS. Thank goodness our politicians are finally noticing that and taking action. And not just "liberals".
If conservatives believe in small government and that the government should be out of your business, then the government has to right to go after non violent drug users.
From the speaker of the house himself........
"“I’ve long believed there needed to be reform of our criminal justice system,” said Mr. Boehner, endorsing a House bill that would change the system. “We’ve got a lot of people in prison, frankly, that don’t really in my view need to be there. It’s expensive to house. Some of these people are in there for what I’ll call flimsy reasons.”
