Move out of the Hood, or no?

Yeah a lot of brothers and sisters think they're winning trying to beat the system and are just lazy to not think that we could be on a whole 'nother plateau. Plus he says drug use is prevalent everywhere - prevalent - I think that's the wrong word to use.

 

a.k.a. "White people do it too," another excuse.

 

What prominent politician made this statement about the metal state of black people in regards to the ghetto?..........."You can take the blackman out of the jungle,....... but you can't take the jungle out of the blackman"..........

 

Obama.

 

A Republican?

 

Why would you even consider staying in the hood??

 

Well you know gotta keep it 100.

 

You need to consider you wife's and families safety and happiness. I have never been to a ghetto, but from I hear, that is not a place anyone wants to live but is forced because it is low income housing. Suburbs have crime as well as neighbor watch, and is a neighborhood watch seriously going to deter crime in ganstaville? The homes are already there I assume so real estate helps the realtor, they just put you into a low income home. What job are you looking for in the ghetto that would be better than a job in the suburbs? I think you can answer most of these questions by yourself. How many ww want to raise a family in a ghetto, even a decent one?

 

This. Why would anyone ever want to raise a kid in the hood?

 

move! is that really a serious question?
you can help by not living there as well. start projects etc, but you have to feel safe- your wife has to feel safe and most importantly your kids! they will need a good education as well.
don't forget about the haters, many people don't appreciate that you are there to help, they might see it as "showing off". there is no reason to live lower than you have to. live the life you want to live!

 

I've never lived in "the hood". But, from what I have heard and from what I have seen you are better off moving out (if that is an option). Not all predominantly white neighborhoods are difficult (in regards to the issues you mentioned). As with any neighborhood people are curious and so long as you maintain a positive demeanor people normally will feel comfortable with you (at least to your face). Granted, some may have issues, maybe even most. But, the beauty of a good neighborhood (and this is with all halfway decent neighborhoods), they pride themselves on avoiding the elephant in the room. So, you may not run into any visible issue at all.

 

Tbf, I've lived in two predominantly white 'hoods in my lifetime: a trailer park, and an upper middle class subdivision.

Generally, they, whites, were fine

 

your white wife will have lots of problems ,i can tell you that ,lol .
all jokes aside ,it's not a smart question . if you value your life you would not
live there by decision .

 

I live in "the hood". It's a shithole. I want to get out of here, fearing nothing else but the violence that occurs here. People get shot on weekly basis. But then again my city is worse than Detroit in crime stats.

This place sucks major balls. Can't wait to be done with this place.
