First of all, even if you felt comfortable making such statements, the thug element in Brownsville may not appreciate such free speech any more than you exercising your free speech a place like Howard Beach.

Huh? I've actually discussed Howard Beach's past with a Howard Beach resident when I rode the Q11 there, and they didn't do anything to me nor made me feel uncomfortable telling them what I had to say. I've never discussed Bensonhurst's past with a Bensonhurst resident but I have no qualms about doing so.

Second, I was born and lived my early years at 139 Dumont Ave. right across from Betsy Head Park and went to PS 175 in the heart of Brownsville. There was a time when people of color could not feel so comfortable speaking their mind in my neighborhood.

When they began to though, whites fled the neighborhood.

Your test, as colorful as it may seem, actually would prove nada.

Yes it does, it proves that if you wouldn't feel comfortable saying anything related to race to a black person's face, then you probably shouldn't say it online, or you're a coward and most likely have some irrational prejudice against black people.
