It's easy to make over-the-top insensitive comments and overly-sensitive response to those comments behind the veil of the bbs. I don't like the idea of outsiders coming in and re-engineering someone else's neighborhood, but I also know, as someone, a white guy who works in the neighborhood but doesn't live there, that it's sad as hell to see flyers asking for information on a 13-year-old kid shot at dinnertime in a neighborhood where there are plenty of people who aren't troublemakers, and it's also sad to see flyers offering cash for guns. An 18-year-old punk? Maybe he'll be a punk forever. 13-years-old? Kid still had a chance, however slim.

All anyone wants is for these retards to stop shooting each other over some bullshit slight. Why should we limit this to Harlem thugs? There are plenty more trigger happy, gangbanger pieces of shit in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island and Queens.

Okay, white guys, you've made your point: Harlem blacks are thugs and murderers, and should relinquish their land to you.

Mortgage crisis or shootings are not going to stop us gentrifying your corner of NY!

I bet it was a white yuppie, or a hipster or a rampageing cop.

The culture of Harlem is under attack by the white people moving into the neighborhood!
