I love how my city prepared me mentally for this fukked up world.... I travel a lot to different cities/countries and I swear the way NYC teaches u to be guarded and basically don't trust no one off the jump (shyt has to be earned) u can carry that with u anywhere in this world and there's a good chance u will be just fine....

I love our slang... Love how I can leave the club in Manhatten.....Head to Gray's Papaya for a hot dog.. Meet up with a shorty in that same spot and hop on the #1 train to any of the hotels on 96th Street to smash...

Love our pizza...
Love our Halal carts....
Love knowing I only have to pull out my whip for pleasure not necessity.....
Love that in an 80's baby and grew up in the middle of the crack era but NEVER touched any of that shyt...
Love dating NY Black and Spanish women at the same time...
Love how a head nod or a "UUUUUURP" is all that needs to be said amongst men...

Love how the rest of the world loves to hate us.... :blessed:
Facts :umad:

I gotta question for the NYC coli members.

What's the racism like out there? When I was younger I always felt like NYC had alot of racial tension from movies and media; but now on my socials, it seems like it's native New Yorkers vs everyone.

Aren't you from Toronto? Racism in NYC is about equivalent to racism in Toronto. A liberal and diverse city, most people don't give a f*ck.

Being called a racial slur or anything like that is rare, but microaggressions exist. Of course, racist people exist in NYC, but there are racist people everywhere.

You have your little pockets of the city you stay away from, parts of Staten Island, Howard Beach etc.

Aside from that, folks really don't play that racist sh*t up here cause a lot of NYers got screws loose and ain’t with the play play :manny:

From a way smaller, the greater Toronto Area's population is about 7x larger than my cities.

I get you. Over here in Canada you won't really get called a racial slur but the racism is heavy systematically.

Over here we give a fukk, but white people shut it down quickly with the system when racism is challenged.

The racism comes into play when those Gossip Girl crackers play about as if they haven’t just landed on the grounds and begin to change the furniture.

Beyond merely “white” the bigotry comes into play when dealing with select groups on a given date. We are always a viral clip from conjuring up weird feelings towards Chinese, Dominicans, Jews, Indians etc

While this isn’t on the level of fukked as how Cali this isn’t Heaven On Earth

Like where have you seen? For example, white folks only come to the South Bronx for Yankees or soccer games at the stadium, and they usually don’t migrate too far from there.

Got you, cali's another place who's racial dynamics interest me. Is there underlining tensions between blacks and other groups? When you say Dominicans you talking about the white ones or light skin ones?

Me and my girl went to NYC last summer, we were staying in Times Square but took the train to went to Harlem to go to that museum, I forgot the name but it wasn't far from a hospital.

Cool. I've never been to Ottawa.

I've been to Toronto and the Golden Horseshoe region of Ontario. Some nice areas :ehh:
Yeah Toronto is our gem, Ottawa is cool — like a DC lite. Me and shorty are trying to go back to NYC sometime in the future, I wanna go for the DR or Labour Day Parade

Ah, you're referring to the Schomburg library in Harlem. Parts of Harlem are gentrified, but it's still majority black, especially around that area.
