Okay, I know that people on here say, "The ghetto/barrio/trailer-park is not that scary." or "I'm Black/Mexican/etc, and even I won't walk through some neighborhoods."
Well, did you ever stop to think that the reason why you didn't get killed or robbed when you were there was because they assumed you were one of them, or just visiting relatives?
When I went down to Mississippi, the neighborhood was pretty safe for me, but a Black person could seriously get beaten down there. An Asian or Latino person who was walking alone would also be at risk. Do you see what I'm saying?
Who here acknowledges that there are areas that are safe for one race, but dangerous for another?

Yes, yes, I know. Gangs, KKK, etc. I'm sure you all know your stuff from watching CNN.
That is not what I'm asking.
And not all areas like this are "close knit".

Your exactly right...........and that is a shame that people STILL behave this way. It's ridiculous, people should be free to come and go wherever they want. Are we living in Iraq or is this America?
A friend of mine ( a nice black family) moved into a white neighborhood recently. Upper class neighborhood of about an income of 100,000 and up. They woke up one morning to find the words GO AWAY spray painted on their garage door.
Like I said this was a "upper class" neighborhood. Seem like they have low/no class minds though.

Yeah I do - it's called a KKK meeting. I think a white person walking through the hood is a hell of a lot safer than any brown or black person unfortunate enough to stumble across one of those gatherings.
Secondly, when you have a close-knit neighborhood, people are going to know whether you're "one of them" or not. Some people don't like people they don't know in their neighborhood, for various reasons. It's not right to beat anyone up unprovoked, no matter what. Hate crimes do happen, but it's not a given just because you find yourself in a neighborhood where you are the "minority."

As to the main deadly interior the international...many inner maximum web content supply lists...all diverse, yet Juarez, Baghdad, Mogadishu seem oftentimes on those.

a Neighborhood is not dangeruous to other races unless it is a gang area.
yes there are places where certain people may not be safe. however, a black person could get beat down by another black person also simply because he was ''with the wrong set''.
If you are a crip, black or white, and you enter blood territory..BEATDOWN!
If you are american, and you go to vietnam...BEATDOWN
If you are Black and you go to redneck, usa... NOOSEDOWN!
its not right but thats how it is

When ever the local police department might have to patrol a tough neighborhood, they keep Maxi Pads in their patrol card...FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION!

I totally agree. Who said they are not that scary!?!? I guess only those who are acquainted well there. I've never heard what you are talking about but your sentiment is correct.
