im a NATIVE NEW YORKER, born in harlem, raised in washington heights, spent my 20s in Queens now i live in Brooklyn. And i hate the fact that my city has turned into a pussyfied plastic freakin soul-less museum. Everybody you meet is from somewhere else. I wish you all would go back to where ever you came from

"Loisada" was a piece of shit, full of violent Ricans. Fuck them. You fuck up others and your neighborhood and then you cry about some other people coming in and making the neighborhood better.

@SHAOLINISLAND35 @SHAOLINISLAND35 Firstly, they come here because they have ambition and this is NYC and they can grow and be themselves. Why would you want to beat these people up? Maybe its that same behavior that is the reason why people rather live in neighborhoods with them instead of violent, uneducated negative POS like you. Shaolin - get the fuck outta here!

[IzzyIsou]

And how about all the Puerto Ricans from the LES that would gang up on young artists and people just living in those neighborhoods and beat them up. I had several friends ganged up on and they've would up in the hospital. Any person who has lived in NYC for a while knows the truth.

@Timessquare100 Isn't that what the whites used to say to the non-whites, decades ago?
