White Center is the best. Y'all seriously listen to stereotypes about it too much.

[ALFfan1]

White Center is not a bad place to live. Just because there's a high poverty level and it's rundown does not make it a "Ghetto."

@jeSSiEmiLLeR  the cop was officer cox

[jeSSiEmiLLeR]

oh yeah and there is alot of mexicans and asians mostly those were the dominating races then black then ethiopian and then whites

[jeSSiEmiLLeR]

White center and rainere avenue are both bad places i was there in 2007 and there was still lots of gangs prostitutes drugs expecially meth and coke and all kinds of problems there shooting all the time i was there when that cop was shot and i saw it happen out of my window i doubt it has changed much

[jeSSiEmiLLeR]

I lived in coronado spring for three years and it is bad!!! i know this i was in the middle of all of it and a part of all of it.

@shmuli9 again, ignoring my point? its funny. Now, lets stick to what you were going to do and do me a big favor by ignoring me. thank you so much.

[Noobskrilla]

@shmuli9 still ignoring my main point? i'm sure i know more about white center folks than you buddy. So don't try teaching me about my home. You can talk to a white person and still hear nigga come out his mouth

[Noobskrilla]

@shmuli9 then you would also know that its mainly low income housing right? as for others to know white center is ghetto or filled with violence and crime. It's not as bad as it used to be.Bottom line You can't see kids or teenagers (some adults) say a sentence with out saying nigga.Oh yeah, great way to push out my main point on telling me the definition on diversity. Like i said. if you want to complain, you should try aiming for a more reasonable person. Like tinyraskalboy206.

@Noobskrilla "Your ignorant self"? LOVE that term almost as much as 'hating on', 'staying' for meaning 'living' (as in 'they've stayed in Kent for 30 years, and bought their house 20 years ago' - that's 'staying'?) and macaroni and cheese as a holiday food...
