“I Exclaim a Mental ‘Wow’”: A Pennsylvania Reader Responds to “Race and the City”
Re: “Race and the City: A Report from the Rockaways”
Just when I think I have one damn pretty good idea how bad things are in this country racially, I read something like this and I exclaim a mental "Wow." Reality in America is harder to believe in the era of "civil rights" than anything in the sci-fi, fantasy section. Thanks for the unbelievable update.
N.S.: Thank you for your kind words!

I enjoy your blog very much, sir. May you and your son be safe and sound.
Pretty disgusting situation to hear about but elements of it are very familiar to lots of us who have had similar experiences. People don't have a clue as to how precociously violent very young black children can be. Nine year olds were already career thieves, doing bold things like breaking open parking meters with screwdrivers, ganging up to rob other children, stealing anything and everything even if they had no use for it. What's really bad, in my view, are all the white enablers out there. If they're not actively promoting these situations then they're just passively pretending not to know anything. They're just cowardly, contemptible nothings. Those porcine, loudmouthed black women are an entire stereotype all by themselves. They are used to arguing and can do it all day. Don't let them get away with it; give it back to them and then follow up relentlessly. They're eating on our dime and work for us; we don't work for them.
Rockaway Locals are saying to keep away from the YMCA on Beach 73rd Street that's under construction. "it's gonna be full of the druggies.". This YMCA is within walking distance of the Hammel and Redfern housing projects. I"m assuming the predominant culture will be black ghetto like depressing Far Rockaway.
A Stop and Shop supermarket employee told me that the YMCA had a hiring fair at a school in Far Rockaway. Why couldn't they have done the hiring fair at the Knights of Columbus on Beach 90th Street? It's obvious that blacks are being given preference. And no whites need apply. or else they will be driven out of the job via harassment and threats.
Even though I need a job, this will be a very bad place for a white person to work given that there will be the majority of supervisors will be black.
There are some white people working at Stop and Shop but as soon as I had contact with a light skinned Dominican male supervisor I knew that this was not a place I was going to apply for a job.
For the most part, the Waldbuams on Beach 114th Street is a better place to shop, less low lives working with the exception of a very rude light skinned Dominican male
Little colored kids giving the finger to adult whites is common place. I used to have that done to me daily. Little colored kids on their way to schoo' giving the finger to the commuter train bound for downtown Chicago. The negro schoo' children knew that was predominantly whitey passengers on the train and took a malicious and gleeful delight in telling you what they think of the whitey.
All one has to do is take one look at an elementary school playground where there may be 20% or fewer whites. The poor kids are standing around like war crimes victims, just waiting for the next chimp out.
I put my son into a pre-k at the suggestion of a neighbor after moving to a new neighborhood. I didn't see any signs that this was incredibly dangerous to him at the time. The school was in a bad-ish neighborhood, but most of Miami and the Beach borders such and there are good places on the borders. Anyway, I picked up my boy and had to go to his class room to get him. I saw him, a lone white face, looking more forlorn and shell shocked than I can describe, in the middle of a sea of darkness. Needless to say, I abandoned my deposit, risked my job taking a few days to thoroughly vet a new pre-k for him, and he did not return. Had I left him there, I haven't the slightest doubt he would have been assaulted and injured.
