Real Bronx Tours: Politicians Fume Over Bronx ‘Ghetto’ Bus Tours | Breaking News for Black America

Quote:

Foreigners, who are looking to witness from a safe distance, what a “real ghetto” looks like are paying $45 a pop to take a bus tour through the Bronx, and borough politicos are up in arms, according to the New York Post.
Real Bronx Tours are taking mainly White Europeans and Australians on a tour of the Bronx with stops at for photo ops at a food-pantry line, “pickpocket” park, and housing projects.

:laughing:

I'm sure this enrages some people, but it just amuses me. I've adopted a new motto in the last couple of years, "Embrace the nihilism", and I think it applies here. Instead of trying to get pissed off about every little injustice on Earth, pick the ones worth fighting about, and find cynical amusement in the rest.

The bus then reportedly stopped in front of St. Mary’s Park, where she reportedly told the foreigners, “If it were 1980, and you said to me, ‘Lynn, I want to die.’ My answer would be, ‘You’re in the right neighborhood,’” suggesting that the park is unsafe.
That part made my spit water all over my laptop.

There is an update to that saying they will stop all tours lol.
I'm pretty sure they still don't see anything wrong with what they did.

They should have have given the tourists oats to feed to the crackheads.

Man runs out of gas, sets up drum kit on Interstate 695 | Baltimore Or Less

How to get help when stuck on the interstate.

Kind of makes me wonder why Baltimore didn't do this years ago. I mean look at how much money New Zealand makes off Lord of the Rings by taking people out to where they filmed the movies, Baltimore could do that with sets from The Wire.
