Not sure what that has to do with my point, i.e. insert the terms "deaf," "gay," or "gamer" in the first two blank spots. Please explain. If you think I somehow said bad neighborhoods do not exist, I am not sure how to help you.
Key word there is "all"
Grew up in the hood, white af. Just to say that I have and it can be dangerous, but all people of the same color don't live in the same neighborhoods. People are not actually part of communities based on race alone here, that's a fallacy meant to push the whole "systemic racism" bs, imo
Glad to see my point was not lost on someone. See my reply to the person you replied to for details. Weird how some people read or hear things that were not said.
I'm so white I quote George Carlin all the time saying "I go out in the sun to neutralize the blue." Grew up in a slimy major city akin to the NYC portrayed in Taxi Driver (1976) and covered neighborhoods of all kinds on the reg. Was a small kid and got mugged a handful of times growing up, not once in a "bad neighborhood" and mostly by other "white people." Now I live in another city, and there are areas of all kinds of demographics I won't even drive through, let alone walk. OTOH, some of my favorite BBQ and soul food joints are in lower income majority black neighborhoods, and my Spidey sense never tingles.
Newsflash: there is no such thing as "the _____ community." If you think all _____ people are _____, you are ______.
Walk through the hood alone some night and get back to us on that.
