However, I am currently experiencing something that may be of interest to some who posted here. although, it seems the last post was just about a year ago and no one will probably even read this.

But first I will share some of my personal history

My grandparents grew up here, on farms. Then they were pushed out and they moved further out into Long Island. A LOT of the Germans who left Bushwick settled out in Yaphank, Suffolk County, Long Island not just Florida or whatever the hell someone here wrote. Look a little closer to home why dont ya for christ sake and you might find some great historical accounts of this area back when it was german; my grandmother and all her knitting pals for effin instance! theres this huge illusion amongst nyc residents in general that Long Island is completely 100 percent rich white people and that its history is somehow magically completely seperate from that of nyc proper. I’m here to dispel these myths first. I am from a poor white family from Long Island, I grew up in a nieghborhood of blue collar working class people. The Hamptons do not consititute all of Long Island AT ALL AT ALL AT ALL AT ALL!!!!! I am so sick of that perception first of all you have no freakin clue, jesus christ goddamn it!

anyway. in terms of white working class people being accepted into the current community I have to share my experience since I am a white working class (of german-bushwick descent even) person who has recently moved back to where his grandparents first lived after immigrating from Bavaria, Germany. There will be people here who will be fine with you and not care really as long as you dont bother them or interfere in how they put food in their stomachs. Then there are people who think that driving you out is their manifest destiny and that they will be hailed as a legendary hero of ages for doing so (I actually think “hipsters” and affluent white people who want so desperately to run away from their priveleged backgrounds (which I also do not comprehend) have a lot to do with the creation of these peculiar personalities); these people CANNOT be reasoned with and will not comprehend any type of rational thought for they are comeplete and utter racist psychopaths. For them white=rich automatically and they are likely true racists as well.

May I remind people that 1 in 100 is a verifiable actual psychopath as defined by the american psychological association or whatever that org is called. And crazy people (not trying to be facetious here) will more likely be found in economically depressed areas, for such areas can literally drive people insane under the right conditions.

Where was I? I think I got a little sidetracked. Theres just SO much to unpack here and So much that I can speak directly to from my life experience its ridiculous. lol

Yes. Ok. So I have found that, as I’ve noted, there are people who wont care as long you as leave them alone. There are rational sane people capable of logical thought who will be friendly and welcoming. Then there are the literally crazy racists who think it their divine duty to drive all the white devils out. Do not fool yourself into thinking these people do not exist. Dont be naive; its not becoming of a new yorker frankly. The trick really is distinguishing between these personality types and then avoiding the people who have unfortunately succumbed to mental illness for various reasons. What you have to watch out for are con-artist types who will pretend they are friendly, but who really worship farakhan or some other similiar racist/homophobic/mysogynic(sp)leader. This can be difficult depending on the given con-artist’s acting and lying abilities (sometimes I muse and think hollywood should come to the ghetto if it wants some really astoundingly talented actors and actresses lol)

anyway I am currently being subjected to the abuse of racists who are want me out to the area because I am white. I dont like to do this to a whole group of people, but frankly the truth should and needs to be told. In my experience, the Jamaicans and people of carribean descent in the area are most likely to be racist and will most likely not be willing to entertain rational thought. A lot of these people have truly bizarre beliefs measaured by the standards of your average nyc resident. Many of them will not even speak to you if you are white. They will not listen to anything you have to say. There is truly NO TALKING to a lot of these people. I dont know why this is and I dont care, but its true. So in my estimation, and from my experience, if you are a white working class person, you should avoid areas heavily populated by people from Jamacia and the Carribbean, for many of them are complete and utter racists who will have no respect for you AT ALL, will try and make your life hell and drive you from the area simply because you are white.

so are there any german restaurants left here? lmao
