Breh, there is racism every where, it's less here then anywhere else but it still exist.
With that said.
I'm east Oakland born, Frisco raised
Lived in union city, Brentwood in Oakley, all in the bay and I have never seen black people or expeienced being treated like a second class.
Maybe that's just me though...

You don't get it, the bay area is the most expensive place to live in the United States.
Put it like this if you make less then 117k in SF your considered low income

No disrespect, that ain't gonna cut it out here unless
1.Your Mexican
2. You have a inside connect.
You could work for Amazon, drive uber ant get some nice change but other then that, get some training

From a racial aspect Brentwood was probably the only place I've felt uncomfortable in the Bay Area. But maybe it was just me

I felt like that too when I first moved out there

Second time I’m saying this... California will chew you up and spit you out. It’s rough out here. Back in the early 2000s moving out here was doable. Today? If you’re not in the 6 figure range...
And 6 figures ain’t shyt here unless you’re willing to commute far to work and live in the cuts. If you’re a hustler, then by all means come do that. But trees aren’t moving unless you’re connected and willing to travel. That other shyt... risky. I’ve known nikkas pimping out here and that’s dried up. They’re sending dudes away for years for that now. All the old hustles are things of the past. Not that I condone them.
Just saying, I’ve seen it all from blue collar to white collar to straight up gutter. Best advice if you’re still about it, get into sales, stack paper, start your own business. Buy a truck and dispatch. I’ve seen dudes cake off of that.

Breh jesse jackson and folks had to threaten companies out there just to get them to hire black folks
shyt Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop Grumman and etc don't have issues hiring black folks in STEM (and all them companies in Cali too).
Why? Cause they actually want to hire them.
For the life of me, I don't understand why nikkas just don't live in Vegas and take trips to Cali on the weekend. You get all the nightlife without the high cost of living.
