PHOENIX (KSAZ) - A newlywed couple raised in Arizona created a successful YouTube business. Then they decided it was time to leave the valley and explore life, so they moved to Chicago.

But one day after arriving in the "Windy City," their big move turned into a big nightmare.

"It's one of the most amazing cities in America," said Brianna White.

"Hey, why not, we're doing okay. We can go there and be okay financially, so why not go and see what happens," said Jaelin White.

But what happened next terrified the Whites. All unpacked, the couple took the train to get a bite to eat.

"A guy comes up to us and starts trying to ask questions."

"I'm trying to be nice, realizing something's strange."

The stranger followed the couple off the train and down the street.

"I don't know what he wants, he could have a gun, he could have a knife."

They darted into a Subway restaurant, hoping he'd leave them alone."

"He's like looking through the window at us and stuff."

"When he wouldn't leave, the couple called Uber and 9-1-1 for help. In the meantime, Jaelin tried to talk to the stranger."

"I was like, hey man, do you need anything? You want a sandwich? He's like, 'No, I'm hanging around' in a creepy tone."

What happened next, no one expected.

"My whole world was flipped upside down."

"I go to walk out and he just clocks me."

“These people are surely not stupid, but...”

I believe they are typical naive young liberal-thinking Democrats who decided to go “explore” that wonderful but oppressed black culture. This story reeks of white guilt and this couple’s perceived need to ATONE for the sins of their ancestors. I believe they actually expected to be welcomed in the black community with open arms as white saviors who have seen the light and come to jeebus.

Ain’t that way, McGee!

I wonder what city in AZ? There are some really nice little towns out there once you get out of metro Phoenix.

I can't believe we have adults in this country that have reached that age and are that clueless about the underbelly of society.

They dare not say it nor think it, thanks to the generations of diversity police that raised and educated them.

Someone else will say it better, I’m sure. Generally speaking, in 2016 a “snowflake”

Is a young millennial with some college under their belt who thinks they are very enlightened, cosmopolitan, and _superior_ about issues of race, ethnicity, morality, religion, sex, and politics. They regard themselves and others like them as very special, “forward-thinking”, and “post-racial”—despite their lack of real-world experience. They tend to melt when confronted with opinions at odds with those they were taught to hold. Or when caught in situations their education never covered. They seek out “safe places” when they “feel” “threatened.”

The more militant and courageous of their kind don’t necessarily “melt” before opposition—but do have absurdly thin skins. That sort is known as a “Social Justice Warrior” or SJW.

OK, what is she selling?

Pages views of what she and at least 1/3 of millennials without real jobs are doing everyday...Instagram, Snapchat, blogs, etc?

Does that make her a sharp entrepreneur? rich? Maybe I should suggest that my millennials to quit their real jobs and deem themselves a YouTube entertainment channel LOL

She seems to be doing well. My guess is that she is paid to make these endorsements, and that her subscribers find the products and services she advertises to be desirable.

Could very well be as I know there are many “How to” Videos where people are hoping to monetize their knowledge—useful stuff like cell phone repair, cooking, home repairs, etc.

It is interesting as there are many YouTube VIdeos with the same “flavor/attitude” as this couple, and my millennial daughter does much of the same things when she gets up as Brianna—before my daughter goes to her professional job tho she does not publicly post her life for all to see ;)

Allowing advertisements on your YouTube videos. According to Forbes, last year a 25 year old Swede was the top YouTube earner raking in $12 million pretax. He makes video commentaries about video games and has 40 millions subscribers to his YouTube channel.

My 5 and 7-year old boys, this is all they watch on the computer, game commentaries. Kids love this stuff.

Edgewater is not that safe. I would say most of Chicago is not safe. The rate of crime is rising in Lincoln Park ,Portage park and Wrigleyville.

Admittedly, I was using data from about 7 years ago and figured that the bad neighborhoods were still bad and the safe ones were still safe.

Sad to learn this data no longer holds true.
