This place sucks a big one!!! I used to be the biggest die hard advocate of this city. Literally, I would be the guy in crowd of Harlem hating people who would say, «No, no, no. Harlem is a warm and family orientated place with good home American values.» Now all I can say is, «Blah, blah, blah; what a bunch of dam hippocrits.» All the elites/government reps do in this city is use up what little supporters they have, and then run them off when they are no longer any use. I wouldn’t normally say that, but let’s face it; your either part of the elite in crowd, which is about 2% of the population, or your not, and your S.O.L. In closing; if your thinking about moving to Harlem, know that it is stellar and awesome from an outside appearance, but the moment you try to get involved in something, and you make any kind of waves, you will find yourself unwelcome very quickly. by: a former Harlem patriot.
