    My wife is Arab, wears a headscarf. She stopped at a red light, cop car whips around to the side of her vehicle and told her that driving the vehicle she has will catch attention and get car jacked. They outright told her never to stop at that red light and the following three red lights on that road, day or night.

        I’ve lived in Philly for a while… it’s crazy how most of center city is safe, but walk into the wrong neighborhood…

          Bruh… in California, Southern California (Inland Empire) and Northern California (the Bay), you could be walking through a wealthy neighborhood, one street over and it’s the fkin hood and it legit looks like a fkin hood. I can’t even wrap my head around it. At least in SE Michigan, you can see the gradual change from wealth to knocking on death’s door. Or at least from my experience.
