Oh and I don't understand why someone in Williamsburg, who is "a very dark-skinned African" should have a hard time with getting looked at and made uncomfortable. Williamsburg/Bushwick (or East Williamsburg as the hipsters like to call it) used to be a run down neighborhood where people who were white were very scarce. White hipsters and yuppies pushed all the people who are from there out.
Just goes to show your ignorance about that neighborhood.
for the record, williamsburg used to be run down, but the jewish and spanish people were on the southside, and polish were on the north side. williamsburg's never been a neighborhood known for black people living in. there may be some closer to bushwick, but its just not a neighborhood known for having a substanial black population.

Move on.
Drink green tea.
What's next, kiddie races.
Nothing better to do than get snotty behind a computer screen.
I must say you are really adding so much to this conversation.
All in good fun. Nothing too serious. But I hear you on naming an entire neighborhood racist. Just letting the story be heard. My opinion on that neighborhood isn't a good one, as I am sure everyone has bad experiences in at least one neighborhood.

Point taken. I guess if Henna was referring more around the Bushwick area, my reply would have been more correct.

Why are you commenting on the area as though you are some sort of expert if you don't even know the demographics of the neighborhood?
I could probably count the number of times I've been to Williamsburg on one hand and yet even I know its pretty white neighborhood, and its been that way for a while.
EDIT: Oh and for the record I drink plenty of green tea and that hasn't helped me to chill out
