Principle is one thing...your face is another. If you are having problems in Bed Sty, I suggest getting out. This has not been a good neighborhood for years. I don't mean 5 years, I meant like 40 years. I would recommend finding a place where you feel safe walking down your street.

I wouldn't move. You have just as much right as the other guys to live there. I would contact the police if they are jumping you or if u live in a condo (i can't tell where u live by ur explaination) tell the manager dude. good luck, stand your ground

i say to get out of there a.s.a.p.
sure you can play tough guy and go "i have a right to live here"
but is it really worth feeling intimidated all the time?
so i say move
theres a lot of really nice neighborhoods in ny

It's best to move.
The thing about NY is that there is more reverse-racism (black on white), then racism in NYC.
The system (city, media, etc) won't support on this.

If I were you I would move ASAP. Gentrification is a pestilence and you are a prime symptom.
