Ok, I'm a Sichy kid from da North Bronx. Back in the late 50's, early 60's,
I hung a lot in Harlem & Spanish Harlem, no problemo. Even then, I avoided
the South Bronx, except for occasional treks to Fox St.

'cause that's the way it is. Like it or not.

Oh yeh, In 1965 I was forced to attend some kind of 'Social Conscientious
training
during my enlistement with the 'World Police Force'. I was presented with
the following: A well dressed black man hailed a taxi a 42nd and broadway in
NYC.
at midnight. When he directed the cabby to 2nd street in the village, the
'white' cabby
refused to take him there. When I pointed out to the instructor that it
would be worth
the cabby's life to go there at that time of night, I was told that, "It's
his job". The
instructor was black, and to this day I am amazed that he could lie like
that with
a straight face.
