There were some of those in certain parts of Black neighborhoods in Philly. Some 80 year old widower who'd been living in the neighborhood since it was still white in the 30s, or something.

18. "nyc has the most segregated elementary schools in the country" In response to Reply # 16
this is because the neighborhoods are some of the the most segregated.
of course there are other segregated areas in the country.
that doesn't mean new york or the east coast in general isn't exceptional in it's segregation when it comes to whites being and living in separate worlds.

On and on and on. And those are just where the natives are. The transplants, though? All over. Damn, saw two white guys get off at Gunhill just the other day.

24. "i was shocked how docile Compton was when i visited" In response to Reply # 0
i was low key shook when my friend said we'd spend the night there. it was so quiet and nice. of course I was told that there are parts not far away that we wouldn't be venturing to for any reason.
32. "all i knew of Compton was from TV" In response to Reply # 26
being from the East Coast only thing i knew about Compton was from movies and music videos. i was looking for all the stereotypes like a dude lifting weights in the front lawn or somebody on the porch in a wheelchair ... LOL. looking back it's ridiculous to think that's how i thought but i was younger and didn't know much better.
