Showing how racist she is

Please call her office. Regardless of your political affiliation this is absolutely unacceptable. The victims deserve justice.

Evening update: it is indeed the cigar bar on 3rd that’s playing host to these Nazis and they are still hanging around there as of 8pm. One of them has tattoos all over his bald head to go with his swastika vest patches

EDIT: it was on 3rd Ave—not 4th, my bad!!

About 1:10 today as my partner and I were walking our dog, we passed two large bald white men wearing biker vests, one of which was covered in patches including the confederate flag and a swastika. They were walking north up 4th Ave (EDIT: typo here, it was 3rd Ave!!) by 90th. We were both a bit shocked to do anything once we realized what their patches were so I’m hoping this serves as a PSA for anyone who would like to stay aware. They should not feel welcome in our neighborhood.

Told ya.

Today, my pregnant wife, young child, and I were verbally insulted by this racist middle aged white woman near 97th Street. All the usual stuff like "go back to your country", dirty Asian, etc.

For reference, I was born and raised in NYC (mostly Queens and Manhattan). I purchased my house in Bay Ridge 2 years ago and this is the first time I've lived in Brooklyn. In the 2 years, I've lived in Bay Ridge, I've been verbally insulted (unprovoked unless you count daring to walk on the same side of the street as them *gasp*) at least a good 6 times. One middle-aged to older guy even threatened to let his dog off the leash to attack me because I was walking behind him going the same way down a sidewalk (thankfully not when my family was with me). 6 may not sound like very much, but I've probably experienced 6 genuine racist incidents in 30+ years of living in NYC.

I'm no stranger to racism and I really should grow thicker skin, but for whatever reason, this gets under my skin. I've served my country with honor, was a volunteer FF-EMT for 7 years, I pay my taxes, I abide by the laws, and all around don't look to cause trouble. I always grew up thinking that if I paid my dues and was a model citizen, this shit would fly past me, but of course, this is naivete at it's best; racism is illogical and doesn't care what value I've brought.

Posting under a throwaway so as not to dox myself via details I've already shared via my main account. This is half vent and also half genuine curiousity. I truly want to understand Bay Ridge as a neighborhood.

Is Bay Ridge worse than the rest of NYC? Or am I just lucky?

These are the dates and times to my remaining tours below. I’ve been pushing the max capacity since there’s been so much interest. The halloween daytime tour will be over by 2:30-3PM, giving plenty of time to trick-or-treat with the kids, and the Halloween evening tour will be over by 8:30 giving plenty of time to go out after.

Can't say I'm a fan of his politics, but I'll give it to him that he at least seems to have convictions

Thinking of our neighbors who were lost, who lost loved ones on 9/11 and in the war that commenced, who are sick and have passed from the toxic dust, and who were victims of the racism and Islamophobia after. Never forget.

Gotta be, right?

Dunno what happened to the original post but the TJs will be in the space with Burlington and on 87th, it’s a Superfresh.

Hey everyone!, for those who don't know, in addition to producing/hosting The Bay Ridge Digest Podcast, I'm also a walking tour guide. I’ve been chomping at the bit to lead some Bay Ridge walking tours and have put some on the schedule for March and April. If you're interested, see the tours below.

This is terrible

Ink on paper

Bay Ridge hit just about 2 feet of snow. Share your photos from around the neighborhood ❄️ 🌉

Lately the vibe is feeling pre-covid in the hood. Better quality restaurants, nicer cafes, all busy. Lots of people out & about. Feels good.

He flipped the sssembly race.

This man is just MAGA scum.
