Sorry, mate. How bad is it now ? I am just looking at it and I am like "wow.. what the fuck happened was going on down there ?"

No worries mate. I am pulling your leg. Frankly, this is truly disgusting when one has the brains to sit back and consider it all. To think at one time Harlem and most of the South Bronx was European Dutch. Here just another example of what the Negroid does to an area when let loose to live in areas while largely living off the system, and all the while be made to believe they have "civil rights." The UK clearly by recent events has not taken note of any of this. The South Bronx to my understanding is still a fucking crime ridden, savage Negroid infested, pimp whore pushing, slim drug dealing, nightmare of a hellhole.

When I go to New York I avoid those areas, at all costs.

It should be flattened. Completely. Not one stone left on top of the other, infrastructure broken up as well: start over from scratch. But where do you send those people, eh ?

But then again. I guess that most of New York should be blown up and rebuild following the very latest ideas. It seems that New York is still crumbling beneath all the glitter and glamour.

Some more tale-telling pictures (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=402544) of the 1970s, 1980s (not just of the South Bronx). Particularly this remark is striking:

Everything in Harlem is black - except all business which is owned by whites and immigrants. The only stores that are not owned by whites, the street people will tell you, are the omnipresent funeral homes, since white undertakers will have nothing to do with black bodies. Being an undertaker is one of the surest ways of reaching middle-class status. For death is as ubiquitous in Harlem as the fear haunting everybody beneath the uneasy sporadic laughter.


And then this one:

This funeral home next to a drug rehabilitation center illustrates clearly the unremitting choice you have in Harlem - the choice between an instant death or an enslaved life under The Man. Thousands of addicts choose the door on the left.

Sorry Civis, I have only so much patience with hippety-hop or whatever music that was. I stopped about 6 1/2 minutes through the first video. :D

Oddly enough.. me too. Or maybe it's more that pictures and clips of Detroit remind me of 1970s and 1980s films about New York.


Kinda remind me of Brixton in London.
Yeah.. when given some time Brixton will become a lot like that.

Welcome to America Civis! Detriot still looks like that. So does Newark New Jersey.

Yes I have heard about Detroit and seen it on tv. Detroit looks pretty bloody bleak. But Newark too ?

Newark is a pile of trash. The murder rate is extremly high also.

The real questions is how far do cities and communities have to fall down the sewer, to the level of the South Bronx, before European people wake up and see it? No European man, woman or child should have to be subjected to such vile shite.

You are 100% correct. I saw houses in Detriot that had Curtains for doors. My friend told me that in Detriot the locals will steal yours wheels at 4 way stop light.

Another one of New York's former (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=404013) hellholes (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=405109) (probably there are parts that are still as bad as they used to be but I have found some lovely pictures): Harlem.

You might take a look at some pics of Camden, New Jersey. Here's a piece (http://american3p.org/american-voice/camden-new-jersey-blueprint-for-the-destruction-of-america/) on its decline and what it portends for the US.

It's still not good, but I don't think it's that bad. NYC really hit the low point in the 70s, was bad through the whole period from 60s through the early 90s. It's steadily gotten better, and you don't see abandoned buildings or vacant lots anywhere in NYC so far as I have seen. They built the new Yankee Stadium in the area so that probably improved the area somewhat. I never really went to that area, but NYC is too high priced for Detroit-style devastation these days.

My mother has told me a similar story. Her and someone else in my family (forget who) were riding in the car with some guy through Camden to get somewhere else in New Jersey. Broad daylight. They stop at a red light and a bunch of spooks run out and start taking the wheels off the car beside them. Inside that vehicle was a white family, everyone panicking and freaking out but unsure of what to do. My mom's like WTF and the guy driving just says "Hold on!" and speeds off. Later he told them that that shit happens a lot.

Fun. :)

edit: That other car couldn't drive away because they had put it up on blocks.

South Bronx is not like that anymore. Not an upper tier neighborhood (there are a few in the south Bronx) in NYC but not blighted as it once was. I'll go there and take some pictures soon, since I also do neighborhood photography and it;s just a 4-5-6 train going north.

I'd say Camden in NJ is far worst than Newark. Newark many believe has potential, housing stock and distance to airport and NYC. I was offered an a level at a refurbished warehouse turned apartments, this is in Newark, some years back I declined though.

Now the Dominicoons have tooken over the South Bronx. Just another version of American Negros but speak Spanish and blast Bachata music all night.
