No, things haven't changed. Don't go there if you're the wrong color. I was still living in NYC for Hurricane Sandy and anyone black who came to offer help was told they didn't need any and turned away.
Damn thats really F-ed up. Maybe thats why there area got hit. Karmas a *****. You should treat everyone the same.

Wow! Okay. I suspected as much. I rarely go out that way.
Well if “Silence = Violence” then every white person is racist if they’re not genuflecting constantly, so if there are white people in Howard Beach still, the answer is obvious: yes.
Was thinking about Howard Beach and remembered my friend being called a n****r lover because he was with me and wonder if it was still as racist now as it was back then.
I'm 48 from NE Queens. In 1990 I had a good friend of mine from Trinidad that went to my NE Queens high school by day but lived in East New York. Every time we dropped him off or went to pick him up on Sutter ave we were threatened with guns, usually called white devils and/or chased out of the neighborhood. Often our friend couldn't get to our car in time before we had to leave. Many times our "white privilege" required a police escort back to the Jackie Robinson highway so we didn't get MURDERED.
Can you tell me if East New York is still as racist now as it was back then?

Because white-on-black hates crimes are like man-bites-dog stories. A rare occurrence. Whereas black-on-white hate crimes are a daily event. Even an hourly event.
The media treasures its white-on-black hate crimes. Like a rare jewel, tucked away in fine silk. To be removed on special occasions, held to the light, to admire its luster and sparkle, and show off once again to the world.
“One day I will come back to this and see how successful I am!” read one message, followed by “No cap at all!”
The expression “no cap” means “no lies,”

If only we had camera phones back then folks.
30 years later ENY is still one of the most dangerous And poorest neighborhoods in NY. It is also one of the bluest, most Solidly Democrat parts of the city. Clearly Democrat policies are a total failure. Sadly these people keep voting for politicians who look like them and who have kept them in a cycle of perpetual poverty and violence. Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, of impeachment committee fame, blamed the Trump victory on ‘white supremacy’. These are the types of leaders who should literally be run out town. Eric Adams is another racist and pathetic borough president. Those neighborhoods, Brownsville included, will never change unless they can break the chains of the Democrat stranglehold.
