Liberal Chelsea Incident

A reader writes:

I was in New York City recently to visit my elderly mother. She was brought up in Chelsea and wanted to show me her old neighborhood and see the changes. During our walk we went over to the old meat packing district, as her grandmother grew up there. The changes in the neighborhood were nothing short of astonishing. An upscale hipster paradise of sorts with plenty of drunk, scantily dressed women. While we were waiting to cross the street, a young black man came up to a small, pretty young girl standing on the corner and said “Hey, can I get a dollar?” Stunned, she looked at him for a moment, opened up her purse and gave it to him. He took it and just walked off. This guy was no bum. He was just your average, run of the mill black guy decked out in a ball cap, jeans and sports jersey. The absolute brazen behavior of young black men towards white women is breathtaking. They would never try that on a black woman. My mother (who would be very comfortable reading VFR) told the women she shouldn’t do that. She just smiled and shrugged her shoulders.She probably used her liberal veneer to justify what happened, but it was pure intimidation. What we witnessed was a mugging.
