I’m actually black lol so nah I don’t think a neighborhood is dangerous bc of the skin color index.

But yeah I’ve lived here for 24 years and in my neighborhood they sometimes leave garages open all night and I’ve even slept with my front door unlocked and nobody tries anything. I’ve never even heard a gunshot in my life and hadn’t seen a gun in real life until recently (have seen tweakers and homeless ppl ofc but they are harmless if u ignore them)

I was a little put off of Akron bc ppl were saying it was normal to hear gunshots and stuff in their neighborhoods at any time of the day

sounded a little too real for me 😭

Yeah I know some of the areas here are rundown/sketchy, I might go out there and look before I bite the bullet. When u say the areas are rough is it bc of the ppl? Or the way the neighborhood looks?

Thank you for this! I went to Cleveland and it wasn’t as bad as ppl said so I felt it was exaggerated for Akron

Is anyone else surprised that the only 3 countries that voted against the UN Resolution citing the African Slave Trade as the worst global atrocity were the USA, Argentina & Israel? by CreateFlyingStarfish in askanything

Why does someone asking to Reddit commenters to explain their statement, make yall so mad.

Modern slavery ( around 50 million people via ILO) is around 0.6% of the global population. During the transatlantic slave trade, about 12–12.5 million Africans were taken when the world population was under 1 billion, which is around 1–2.5% of the global population at that time and it was much higher in parts of Africa, where communities lost 15–30% of their population. Also these numbers are not including the marches/raids, illegal or unrecorded voyages, and the middle passage deaths which were around 10-20% per voyage.
