Reply #66: Large parts of Queens are predominately white

[alcibiades_mystery]

Bayside, Whitestone, College Point, Fresh Meadows, Douglaston (OK, that last might as well be long island), Rosedale, large swaths of Glendale and Ridgewood, etc. Not to mention, uh, Howard Beach...Queens probably has the most predominately white neighborhoods in the city. How do i know? Grew up there.

Now, the neighborhood where this happened is certainly not predominately white, and I can't remember the last time cops in one of those white neighborhoods opened fire on anyone, though the guys coming stumbling out of the bars in any of the predominately white areas would be about the same speed as bell and his friends. The notion that none of this is "racially motivated" takes such a narrow view of 'racial motivation" as to be almost meaningless. For sabbat, something is only 'racially motivated' if the perpetrator says to himself "I am going to commit a racially motivated crime, right....NOW." It's a ridiculous understanding of the way race works in our culture, and sets the bar so high that nothing at all has anything to do with race anymore.
