That's all I have to say....going to go get an eightball with Gov. Patterson.

]]> <![CDATA[Touré Has Lost Any Possible Street Cred]]> Sweet...this warms my heart. Fort Greene was my Brooklyn 'hood; and I always relished the way its unwavering blackness kept the true, full-on gentrification from happening, even after "Connecticut Muffin" moved onto Myrtle. I can't wait to take my daughter for a visit to the neighborhood in which she was conceived. (Too much?)

]]> <![CDATA[Touré Has Lost Any Possible Street Cred]]> @andheartss: It can. But! This guy was a renter with plausible deniability. Not that one can reason with a murdery crackhead, but it reads more like he didn't want to get involved than that he was afraid of retaliation.

]]> <![CDATA[Touré Has Lost Any Possible Street Cred]]> I chuckled my way through the article. The cops didn't know already? Yeah.

"Wow! A cute l'il crackhouse! But is not so great, actually. Should I call The Man and complain? The cops are the opposition because I'm black! But wait. I pay taxes and don't deal crack so they're not my opposition. I'll call. But I won't help them solve the problem because the criminals are black like me. It's called Being Passive Agressive To The Man Because I'm Moving Out And It's Not My Problem. And when I get stabbed by a frothing crackhead by the sushi place, I'll just sue the city for zillions, because they knew."

]]> <![CDATA[Touré Has Lost Any Possible Street Cred]]> When the crack houses are gone, where will the white gentry get their crack?

miss_msry

]]> <![CDATA[Touré Has Lost Any Possible Street Cred]]> Though I do understand his dilemma, I'd probably opt to leave the crackheads alone. Especially if I were moving blocks away.

Even as a black female, I'd leave it to the inevitable white population boom to eradicate the problem.

]]> <![CDATA[Touré Has Lost Any Possible Street Cred]]> I never had a safer parking spot than when I lived on West End and 95th and made friends with the lookout for a local drug house. I must have been the only old white guy who was ever nice to him. He saved my spot for me and once stopped me from backing up over a broken bottle. I suppose that knowledge of how to get along with all kinds has been lost.
