Reply #112: New York is racially segregated. [View All]

The point was everybody was on the train coming from work but the White people got off before the train got to Harlem and the Bronx. This does not mean no white people live in the Bronx or that no black people live in Manhattan. Racism in the north takes a more subtle form. Of course New Yorkers of all races mingle but many New York Whites do not want to live in a black neighbourhood or let their precious children go to a Public school with "those " children. Maybe I have a clearer perspective because I am an outsider and it was obvious to me that Manhattan is "white' while the boroughs are black and latino.

I have no "crowd" in Manhattan. I never lived in Manhattan. I only worked there. I am not saying that New York is some apartheid hell. I am telling you that there are still racial issues there in terms of a black person trying to rent in a "white building". I have seen this myself.
