    It's really not, at least not the part where this show takes place. Hasn't been since the 90s. If you want a hellhole, you have to go pretty far up in Harlem/Bronx. Even then, compared to a place like Mumbai, Harlem is pretty nice.

          Funny you say that. I'm not even white. I can count the number of times a white person has been racist to me on one hand, maybe one and a half.
          Black people? It's probably into the thousands. They hate gays, they hate A-RABS, they hate Indians, they hate white people, they hate anyone who tells them what to do, like cops.
          And they make no secret of this, which tells me the media is covering it up.
          Go ahead, call me racist, call me crazy, any one of you can go to the hood and see this for yourself, but you probably don't have the guts or a driver's license to do so.

            quite odd that you associate being called "racist" with "white".
            anyone can be racist. your statements prior were very racist.
            But you have the right to think as you do. But your hate won't get you anywhere. Let it go

                  LMAO, do you somehow think reporting people for telling the truth is going to solve anything?
                  You don't want to help American blacks. You want them to stay poor and decrepit so they vote liberal. You're an enabler, the real villain here. I have real criticism and solutions. What do you have?
                  You want to report me like a good little Hitler Youth? Unreal.

                      I think the problem is that you're afraid IT MIGHT BE TRUE but know nothing about what the hood is like.
                      I'm not the only one that has experienced this. Do a Google search and you'll find a lot of similar stories that corroborate my experiences.

                        OK, Internet cowboy, go to the hood and talk like that.
                        I know for a FACT it isn't true. But the way you think, with your racist mindset, it might be true FOR YOU. If i was a Black guy and you ran your mouth like that, it's soon be standing on your head.

                          Go look at the violent crime rates, test scores in a predominately African-American school and the homicide rate of Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis or Detroit then come back here and tell me a with a straight face that the hood is such a great place to live.
                          Ever been to Harlem? How about the Speedway on 122 W. 145th Street in NYC? That's a real hellhole there.
                          You know for a fact it isn't true? That's hilarious, go look at the stats, go actually live or work in the hood and see how long a moron like you will survive. You will s-t your pants and run home to cry to mom.

                              So, in that other post, you said that I couldn't intelligent put a sentence together properly, yet in this sentence here, you failed to capitalize the "I" here and didn't know that it's not "i been to Harlem.", it's "I've been to Harlem."
                              I don't speak Ebonics in my part of town, dude. That's not the accepted grammatical standard in the United States.

                                Matter of fact, WTF are you doing in the hood, anyway, if that's how you feel? Buying dope? If you don't like black people, go someplace where there are none. Plenty exist, unless you're one of those moss gatherers that never leave the spot they were born in.
                                If you don't like Black folks LEAVE. Something tells me they won't miss you.

                                  This entire post is a grammatical war crime.
                                  BTW, I did mention that I worked there. Do you know what "work" is? You would if employers didn't throw away your resume because of the Ebonics you used to write it in.

                                        I'm not ashamed of anything. But i will never call a cockroach like you anything like me. I think you are a racist piece of sh!t, frankly. And i don't need to write an essay to explain myself. You aren't worth it.
