Is there such a thing as a White Ghetto ?

[Doug]

I'm talking an 80%+ white place that is lower income, and a white guy can't safely walk the streets there.

I imagine there are some Southern places where a Black man should try to avoid if possible ( Kentucky, Tennessee, maybe ?) , at least just pass through and don't go bar-hopping with your White G/F.

I get out of a Black hood ASAP, get my gas and go....don't go to Popeye's and then get an Old Englishe 800 with a shot of Hennessey at the local dive bar.

Get out of there and the ***** should do the same if the hood looks hostile, I've never seen it hostile to Blacks in NE, but I can see it the wrong parts of the South. I damn well know when to move along if uncomfortable with my surroundings.

[pavyracer]

It's called a trailer park. Your buddy Richkas can confirm.

you Americans are conditioned to fear the blacks...absolutely pathetic. Just stand your ground and the niggas will back off like a pack of hyenas facing a lion.

[sickler]

Yes, that's where these guys are spawned from.

Maybe you can apply as a police officer in Detroit or East St. Louis. They will love your attitude.

Yeh, Vancouver is a White ghetto !

It would cost you a million for a dog house there. Lots of asians, but they are better than white people anyway !

By ghetto I mean a cheap neighborhood. I'm sure there are plenty of white ghettos.

East Haven, Ct

is close, but safe if you are white. Not a great place for AA's

are you talking about New Haven ? Great city, I love it.

[minet123]

Hampden and Dundalk in Baltimore
Kensington and South West in Philadelphia
There are plenty more white catholic ghettos in the major east coast cities

[Doug]

are you talking about New Haven ? Great city, I love it.

Yes, New haven, East Haven, west haven.

East haven is extremely Italian....old ( like all of NE), houses and lots are very small in East Haven.....sometimes called "Staven"

Just not a great place to be if you are Black, since it is so White Italian centered.... You don't want to go there as a black....

some shit went down there years ago....

War of words erupts after Jones ruling
By Jennifer Supernaw

It has been five months since white East Haven police officer Robert Flodquist shot and killed black New Haven resident Malik Jones, but a ruling issued on Mon., Sept. 22 cleared the officer of wrongdoing and brought the issue back into the spotlight. And this time, the debate over Jones's death has not only sparked charges of police brutality and racism, but has also pitted city against city, mayor against mayor, and police against state officials.

The Malik Jones saga began Mon., Apr. 14, when Flodquist attempted to pull Jones over for speeding on Frontage Road in New Haven. A high-speed chase ensued when Jones failed to comply and ended on New Haven's Grand Avenue. When Flodquist commanded Jones to get out of his car, Jones put the car in reverse. Within seconds shots were fired.

Jones's death sparked public outrage and brought allegations of racial discrimination and police brutality against the all-white East Haven police department. Two months after the incident, Emma Jones, Malik's mother, publicly called for Flodquist's arrest and began leading protests and marches in an effort to draw attention to the case. In an open letter to State Attorney Michael Dearington, the official who decided whether to press charges against Flodquist, Emma Jones wrote that, "Jones's death forms part of a larger repression and criminalization of youth and people of color that has emerged with recent political shifts in the country."

Dearington, however, ruled Monday that "Officer Robert Flodquist's use of deadly force in causing the tragic death of Malik Jones on Apr. 14, 1997 was reasonable and justified." Dearington based his decision on interviews with Flodquist, East Haven officer Gary DePalma, and several other witnesses, as well as on the results of a joint investigation conducted by the state's crime lab and state and local police departments. Dearington called the investigation "exhaustive" and stated that since Flodquist feared for his life, the force he used was not excessive.

Members of the African-American community have expressed anger at Dearington's decision, but say it was expected. According to Reverend Eric Smith of the Community Baptist Church, "They are very upset, but not really surprised."

What wasn't expected was the war of words between New Haven and East Haven city officials that ensued following Monday's decision. The two sides disagree about Flodquist's conduct, and the case has also brought out blatant rivalries between the two police departments.

East Haven officials applauded Dearington's announcement. East Haven Mayor Hank Luzzi publicly thanked police and state officials for conducting a thorough and objective investigation. "The citizens of East Haven are justly proud of their police department. It is one of the finest departments in the state," he said.

East Haven police officers have also praised Dearington's ruling and denied any racial motivation behind the shooting. "The officers are all fully supportive of Officer Flodquist," Sergeant Joseph Buonome said. He vehemently denies that race was in factor in Jones' death. "I don't feel there is any discrimination here whatsoever," he said.

New Haven city officials tell a very different story. They have blasted Flodquist's conduct and have suggested that the incident was the result of inadequate police training in dealing with minorities. Many New Haven leaders question whether East Haven's police may be unintentionally insensitive toward minorities, considering the lack of non-whites in the force and the community.

"I doubt that Officer Flodquist acted out of racial motivation," New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. said. "It's not a failure of racial sensitivity so much as a failure of police training. I think central to the issue is how you handle people in this kind of situation.... Our officers are better trained to interact with our community." New Haven's police force is 46 percent minority and female officers.

New Haven Police Chief Melvin Wearing also harshly criticized the East Haven officer's actions. Wearing told the New Haven Register that "Officer Flodquist used poor judgment; his tactics were improper." While some New Haven officers fear that such a controversial stand will lead to racial divison and will undermine morale, DeStefano has stood behind Wearing. "I think Chief Wearing is doing an outstanding job," the mayor said. "That's a feeling shared by the New Haven Police Department."

In response to Dearington's decision, Wearing has joined the Jones family, DeStefano, and Aldermanic President Tomas Reyes in calling for a state grand jury or a federal investigation.

Governor John G. Rowland is also taking a stand on Jones's behalf. He has joined city officials in demanding the state grand jury probe and federal investigation. According to Dean Pagani, Rowland's press secretary, the governor wrote to Attorney General Janet Reno and Chief Court Administrator Aaron Ment on Mon., Sept. 22, asking both to investigate the case further.

Like Dearington's decision, Rowland's declaration has come under fire from police officials and community activists. They have accused Rowland of exploiting a tragic death for political gain and have criticized him for not taking a stand before Monday's ruling.

"Governor Rowland should not advocate his opinion on a legal matter for political gain," Gary Waterhouse, president of the Connecticut Council of Police Unions, said. Waterhouse pointed to Rowland's upcoming re-election bid as the motivation behind his public stance. In addition, Waterhouse criticized the governor's lack of faith in the State's justice system.

New Haven resident Craig Green also attacked Rowland's recent decision to call for a grand jury and a federal investigation. Standing on Elm Street with a megaphone on Tues., Sept. 23, Green told passersby that "Slick Willie" is "obviously concerned about [democratic gubernatorial candidate Barbara] Kennelly."

Green questioned Rowland's late involvement in the Jones case. "For the governor to say he wants a grand jury to investigate right after the verdict when he's known about it since April 14th leads me to believe he's looking for votes. He should have been there in the first place."

Pagani maintains that these allegations are unfounded, and has said that Rowland is simply responding to public concerns. "The governor stated very clearly on Monday why he is asking Janet Reno to get involved," he said. "People in East Haven and New Haven have raised questions over whether Mr. Dearington's review was the best that could be done and as objective as possible."

DeStefano, a Democrat, also believes the Republican governor's motives are genuine. "How this could help him with his core constituency, I can't understand," DeStefano commented. "I think he's doing it because it's the right thing to do. I applaud him for doing it."

While the political infighting and finger-pointing continues, leaders of the African-American community are focused on bringing Flodquist to justice. Roger Vann, president of the New Haven NAACP, said "there are a lot of other avenues that can be pursued."

The Jones family has filed notices of intent to sue the East Haven and New Haven police departments, and will continue to press for the grand jury and federal investigations. According to Smith, "I don't get the sense that [African-Americans] feel this is the end."

Go live in New Haven if you are Black, not East haven, but few towns are like that here. East Haven is inexpensive but like a Little Italy.

Blacks in Ct are mainly in the few cities here ( New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, New london). Tons of suburbs that are 90%+ White ( and the other 10% are Hispanic and asian, maybe 2% Black). A very segregated state overall.

[Mr Windy City]

come to Chicago, there are hoods for every race here.

[Doug]

come to Chicago, there are hoods for every race here.

Kind of cool that way, actually

[Doug]

I think you mean nationality more than race, though ?

You can have Italians, Irish, Polish, Russian, etc. all in their hoods, but all basically Honkies.

Toss in your Black areas, maybe an Asian district.....it's all good if the Nigerians ain't committing 90% of the crimes in the city, but they do and destroy any city.

Well Chicago is one of the most diverse cities in the world so you have almost every nationality here, but in terms of race I would say there is a hood for every black, hispanic, asian, white, and everything in between in this city. West and South are predominately black along with hispanics along with a few whites in the south. North is dominated by the whites with a few ugly neighborhoods and the East is up for grabs. In my old neighborhood it's all italian and polish. I can count at least 10-20 illegal cafes and social clubs within a one mile radius of my old house. Polocks have taken over Chicago though, it's getting sorta outta hand now.

[Doug]

I can't tell a Polish guy from Irish, Russian Etc, and I'm sorta of a Polock ( but born here, as was my father).

I.m not good at telling apart Chinese, japanese, Vietnamese, etc. either.

I can tell the ***** though....that's the guy that just stole my bike !

LOL. Believe me, they are a different breed here. You know a polock when you see one. They are rude, ignorant, smell bad, will cut you in line at the grocery store and then look at you like you did something wrong, terrible drivers, only help their own kind, etc. Shall I go on?

Are they illegal immigrants or something ?

If so how do illegals get here from any European nation ?

I had Russian neighbors for awhile ( not sure if legal ?), glad they moved, but they easily looked white enough to pass as general legal Americans. I didn't like their attitude. I see Portugeese working at Dunkin donuts in Ct, not many Mexicans in New england , plenty of PR's....but they are 100% legal


I'm not a big city guy, have lived in San diego county and Las Vegas, but never a Chicago, LA, NY size city.

I think I'd take anything over Domestic AA's !

Yes, most of them are. You should see what they do. They come over here, contact whatever relatives they have already here and go live with them. Usually there are 8-10 polocks living in one house. They all start there own construction business or something of that nature. Work from 6-4, drive around in there work trucks, go to the bar until midnight, and do it all over again the next day. When they make enough money most retire back to Poland from what I know. I actually saw a Polish & Slavic credit union the other day on the north side of town and I wanted to blow it up. Can I start a White Person's Credit Union?

[wtf]

at least they were smart enough to start a bank, was there a ***** bank and trust near by?

[Mr Windy City]

Lol no I did not see one.

[Bigmikesm]

What part of Chicago do you live in Windy City? Gotta be the North Side, The South Side is predominantly being taken over by Hispanics/Blacks. The East Side is mostly black. The WESTSIDE, is mostly black so that leaves the North Side. The southwest side of Chicago used to be little Poland, but that has changed over the years with many of the families moving to the suburbs.

Why would they go back to Poland to retire ? Should have some kids and family some 20 years later ?

Polish and Slavic are pretty white.

Most immigrants do the 10 to a house thing .....Mexican, PR, other Hispanic, poor Americans, Blacks, Indian, Eastern European or whatever ! That is how you get started here.

That is cool enough as long as you are not criminally inclined and go behave like Nigerians.

There are Italian American, Polish American, Irish American private clubs in any larger city.

I'm tolerant of immigrants, go back a few generations and you are one. I just don't like the Niggas. They expect it all for nothing because of slavery and they are intellectually inferior ( fact).

They make up about 5% of the population with whites as a whole only being like 39%...The Polock presense is marginal at best and the immigration now is basically zero and most have moved to suburbs.

[Mr Windy City]

There is a bigger polish population here in Chicago than there is in Warsaw. FACT

[Sunde91]

Most clearly false but yeah.

1.8 mil in War, 2.8 mil total in CHI 5% of which = 150k at the most.

[Mr Windy City]

Most clearly false but yeah.

huh?
