Actually, the most dangerous parts of Manhattan are Chelsea and the Village. My own precinct, the West Harlem-based 26th, is the fifth safest in the city. So maybe blithely assuming that whites = safety isn't as productive as you think.

No, I still wouldn't venture in parts of Washington Heights or Harlem after midnight. However, there are also middle class black and hispanice communities in the city.

Try East New York in Brooklyn and Far Rockaway to the list of neighorhoods to 'avoid' late at nights also.

crazycasey...the problem with your original post is that you equated a white neighborhood with a safe neighborhood versus a black neighborhood with an unsafe neighborhood. I'm not a fan of political correctness for no reason either. But it's incorrect to assume that because an area is predominantly black that it is unsafe. It's better (and more accurate) to simply ask "is the (J) train safe past Cypress Hills?" And I'm still new here myself so, welcome to the boards!

Add to that list Williamsbridge and Wakefield (especially under the 2 line north of Gun Hill) and Morrisania's Project City (3rd Av between 168th-171st).

I don't think my question is stupid and I am not playing a joke. I am a young white girl and I am looking out for my own safety thank you very much and I don't appreciate you calling me stupid just because I asked about a demographic!

You could have researched that yourself very easily by visiting the Census Bureau website (www.census.gov) and entering the zip codes in question.

I think its funny you choose the Cypress Hills Station. I think there are still 2 or 3 white people living in Woodhaven. ;-)

The sad part about it is it's truth at one point.

I grew up watching on lines like the 4,5,6, 2,3 knowing well that on a crowded train my chances of getting a seat was strong after 86th street on the Lex lines and 96th street on the lenox lines that was the way it was until the harlem boom. Still today you know if you see a white person on the 2 line that they are getting off at 180th pelham pkwy maybe allerton , and on the 5 they are getting off at pelham pkwy , morris pk, 180th street and now a few is at Dyre.


the 4 train is woodlawn , moshula , bedford pk,


the 6 line is probally the most diverse line in the bourough from start to finsih , the L is diverse,

times is changing we have one common factor ...

HIGH A** RENT!!

I think one time I saw her name on "Who's Online" few years ago."
