This is even why fat country stateside White women are better stewards of good men than Black American women are.
Sidenote: I hope that if Tommy Sotomayor moves to the NYC, that he moves to the Bronx. I have a funny feeling he's going to move to either Brooklyn or Harlem, but I hope he doesn't make a bad choice. #IJS
Tommy doesn't like ratchet behavior, so I doubt it will be the Bronx and for sure not any messed up parts of Queens either. He has a car, so if he's going to spend six months or so in the Big Apple, he'll have to leave his car in LA (another location he mentioned moving too) or Atlanta and use public transport/taxis or he'll have to find parking, which will automatically put him in a upper middle class part of NYC; those neighborhoods do exist.
Since people like to regularly threaten his life, my guess is no Harlem, no Bronx, no Queens near the projects. Manhattan for even a hole in the wall is expensive and I doubt he wants to spend 50% of his internet income on rent in Manhattan.
I would agree that most White women are better stewards of children because the majority of them are not single mothers (34% vs 70%). Their children are usually the product of a failed marriage.
The Bronx is mostly Hispanic (many are low and working class and some are semi-ig'nant but they wouldn't f.uck with Tommy and comport themselves better than E. Harlemites any day) if you avoid Gun Hill Road/232nd-241st Street. The worst thing that would happen to Tommy is that Spanish-speaking people would talk "tonterias" in Spanish about him with a few chuckles if they are bigoted and/or goofy a.ssclowns, but that's the worst that would happen to him in The Bronx. The best Bronx neighborhood would be off of the 1 train, which would be Riverdale. It's expensive as all-get-out, and hardly any ratchet behaviour there. He can jump on the 1 local taking that to 168th where he can jump on the A-express or the C-local train which would take him through eastside Manhattan quickly on the A especially. On the contrary, Castle Hill is the worst Hispanic neighborhood in The Bronx (even though J-H.o. grew up there).
E. Harlem s.ucks a.ss. The Duane Reade at the corner of Lexington and 125th (all the Bronx trains run through there and the Hispanic chicks are scared going through there half the time due to Black guys always hollering at them) has bulletholes out the a.ss from people always spraying shots from project windows and drive-bys. W. Harlem going towards the Dominican neighborhood called Washington Heights is better. Dominicans are slowing coming down W 155th and Amsterdam into W. Harlem taking it over with the hair salons and their bodegas. Europeans are moving into the brickstones in central and W. Harlem. E. Harlem has projects there which are still s.hitholes. So Tommy probably wouldn't mind Harlem as long as its central Harlem in a brickstone that's at least 5-8 blocks north of 125th, which is the hustling bustling main street in Harlem. Even Whites and Europeans are scared-s.hitless on 125th and quickly run through those streets. They NEVER speak to Black people. Sometimes they will speak to Hispanics at the store and/or in passing but nothing else when it comes to Blacks and the Africans there.
Speaking of Africans, they had taken over all the soul food joints in Harlem, and the food is expensive by the lb. and sucks for lack of a better word.
F.uck Harlem (except for emcees McGruff, Ma$e, the late Big L, Tanboys, Cam'ron/Dipset, A$AP Mob, and etc.). Now back to The Bronx.
The worst neighborhoods in the Bronx are Morris Heights (which is predominately Black) (actually any Bronx stop off of the B and the D are ghetto!!), Castle Hill (which is predominantly NuyoRican and some Dominicans), and Gun Hill Road (crazy West Indians there...your girl from Scandal Kerry Washington is from there). Ever wonder why she "looks Black" but kinda doesn't have a "typical" Black phenotype, well she's Jamerican that's why. And some Jamaicans and Jamericans are mixed with a lot of Euro-British-Anglo blood, two examples: Christopher "Kid" Reid and the late Dwight "Heavy D" Meyers.
The best neighborhoods are N of Fordham Road. Fordham Road used to be predominantly Black and the PUerto Ricans, Mexicans, and Dominicans took it over in the last 10 years that quickly!! ....more best neighborhoods in The Bronx are Bedford Park (mostly working class Hispanics and Middle Eastern people - they actually say "Hello" and "Have a good day" in that part of the borough...I s.hit you not.) and parts of Sputen Duyvil.
Maybe my experiences are different because I'm looked at as a fair-complexion-having Dominican or Puerto Rican and they treat me alright in The Bronx whereas in southside Jamaica Queens (full of dark-skinned Blacks at the time), I had to fight weekly just because I looked "suspect [as in gay because I was perceived as light-skinned]" and have to fight to prove I wasn't a punk whether or not I've won the fight. ...which is why my abuela relocated me to a predominantly Puerto Rican neighborhood in The Bronx in the middle of my childhood. Cats looking like a non-clownish version of Kevin Hart, Mr. Cheeks-looking, DMX-looking, Juvenile-the-rapper-looking dudes trying to "scrap" with me on a weekly basis....wasn't fun after awhile.
Tommy should move to Bedford Park section of The Bronx too.
Now if Tommy moves to Brooklyn, he should move to where the Ashkenazi/Hasidic Jews and Russians live, which is Bay Ridge, parts of Bensonhurst, and Mapleton. Bensonhurst is not throwed off like it used to be in the 80s....don't go there with the Hip-Hop references. Compton is as Chicano as southern Texas nowadays. #QuidProQuo #MrLA you are lol
The 7 train is the upper-echelon of NYC trains so much that you hardly see Blacks, Puerto Ricans or Dominicans on it. All you see are Zboy1's, Winston's, Repatriate's, Joe Pesci's and the occasional Chibolo's and ElReyBoludo's (Latino but not from the Caribbean but of S. American stock) on there. Once you get past Queensbridge and Quensboro by staying on the 7 train, you'll enter upper class Queens. Before that point, you are dealing with the Mobb Deep's, Nasty Nas's, and Cormega's. At the end of the 7 are Mets' Shea Stadium and Shanghai-China I kid you the f.uck not. Hardly anything is in English, but all Mandarin and some Cantonese. And you want to see Twilight Zone s.hit?? I was walking through Flushing, which is at the end of the 7 train, and I got stares from Blacks like "What the f.uck are you doing out here? We here cuz we on Public Assistance. You look like you should be back in The Bronx or some s.hit" look when they look at me. It felt weird, but no other race did that s.hit to me while I was chilling in Flushing all day.
The 7 train is so "bourgeois" that if it weren't for NJ Governor Chris Christie, the 7-train would have extended right to W. NY, which is a town in northern New Jersey. Now do you think they'd entertain the thought of extending a train, like the ghetto 3-train that's in Brownsville around the southern bend of Manhattan to be touch New Jersey?!?!! New Jersey already has problems with E. Orange, Newark (Brick City), and Camden!! So alas the 7 train was the best pick to connect northern New Joisey people to Manhattan in order to smooth out public transportation in the Tri-State a tad more.
Northside Queens (which the 7, N, R, G run through) WOULD ALSO be a better bet for Tommy, but I don't think Tommy will listen to me. He's going to listen to the people whom have been swinging by showing up at his Sun-Tues-Fri 8-hour shows at his Harlem hotel room. They will put a bug in his ear to move to Bed-Stuy or Harlem. Mark my words. I had been blowing up his Facebook and Twitter with where he should go, but I don't think he read my tweets and/or FB posts.
In addendum, off of the F train in northside Jamaica is all South Asian/Indian-Pakistani-Sri Lankans. They are cool and ignore everybody but their own so Tommy would be safe there, but it's such a far commute to midtown Manhattan. Southside Jamaica which is east of the Van Wyck Expressway sucks....but in the part of Jamaica that's west of the Van Wyck Expwy and Richmond Hill, is all Dominican, Guayanese, and MIddle Eastern, and they won't f.uck with him there.
