I have to wonder how many places in this country is it not safe for black Americans to visit? How many neighborhoods do they have some kind of racist attack? I suppose there are some, and that is not right. But why is it we never hear any preaching from elected officials or "community leaders" or clergy about places where it not safe for whites to venture into??

Those places still exist only in the imaginations of leftists, Hollywood screenwriters, and the Jesse Jacksons of the world. And those who claim they exist are exaggerating a "look" or misinterpreting something said.

I admit that stupid things get said, but simple knuckle-dragging racist comments are NOT life threatening.

There are racist areas of the country for all people groups. in some places (apparently this coconut grove is one of them) people of European descent experience racism. in other places it is people of African descent. And it isn't even necessarily one on one either. A place with both people of European and African descent living peaceful could still be racist toward another people group. All Americans (and foreigners, tourists and immigrants) should be safe to travel to all parts of the country (except for secret military installations, etc.).

"Not quite sure where Coconut Grove is, but I do know one of the scariest experiences in my life was trying to find Hialeah Park back in 1989. Got off I-95, got lost, ended up wandering around somewhere where even the street signs were in Spanish."

Probably 'Little Havana', better than Liberty City. You don't stop in Liberty City.

If you talk to blacks,you will find out that there are MANY places in this country they will not go after dark.Now they may be wrong about those places,but that is their perception.
And why so many presumably"white"scaredy cats on this thread?People in these "tough"areas can sense your fear and then see you as a "vic".My work brings me to all kind of crazy areas but I just walk with my head up and show confidence.
If you believe the crime stats,its blacks and Mexicans themselves that have far more to fear in these neighborhoods.
