Can you say Bensonhurst or Howard Beach?

That's my home town. It's a nice place. Too bad the name has a stigma attached to it now.

I like the Italians I've known from there...very much....and the Rockaway fellas too. I like Italian Brooklyn...my kinda Yankees...straight talking and gregarious.

I was simply using those places as a reference to the "stereotypical prejudicial" declaration that only Southerners can be white on black racists..

I'm sorry.

We can move on to Crowne Heights and discuss a far more prevalent form of racism to be found today in the brave New America just to be fair.
