Is Harlem really like this?
I recently saw a DIY home improvement show that profiled three black men and their apts. I always viewed Harlem as being a poor, rundown, dangerous, black community, but the men and the houses were quite the opposite. These men were very highly educated, appeared to have alot of money, and actually spoke more sophisticated than most white people I know (I’m white, too). I apologize to the masses for having been so stereotypical about Harlem, but is Harlem really better than it’s portayed, or have I just really been in the clouds? I’m not from there nor have I ever been there, but I honestly always thought it was a dump. Go ahead, bash me for whatever reasons you like, I deserve it. I’d just like to say that show really opened my eyes. They were in Sugar Hill area. Is that an upscale area?
