It's sad to see what you've done to your country. Your cities used to be quite beautiful.

I remember my grandfather telling me that people did not lock the doors at all back then

I can't take these threads. Makes me rage too much.

When I see pictures of New York clean, it's almost recognizable
The worst part is that there were so many opportunists for America to become the most advanced country in the world, but we squandered them and now we're paying the price
If that's true than what the fuck did we do to our country

I meant almost unrecognizable
It's just so hard to see a clean New York in my mind

The Democratic party got subverted (Again lol)
and the whole country started it's long march into the night

We could've gone to the stars and beyond, but boomers would rather give gibs to third worlders who came in here without permission
It's sad we can't look to the future with such wonder, and see it as a dystopia where more and more rights get taken away as time goes by, we gave up our liberties for (((freedom)))

Detroit, 1917

It's strange to imagine what American cities would be like if they were >90% white. Just being able to go wherever you want, whenever you want, and always feel safe.

You mean 99% white

Even Chicago
Even fucking Chicago was clean
We need to somehow become >90% white, again and not (((white)))

...

America would still have a lot of niggers, even if you never allowed a single non-white immigrant into your country.

Chicago, 1900.

Back when Chicago worked and didn't rob and steal.

>we will never go back to these days
Hold me lads

NYC has actually improved significantly in the past 20 years due to gentrification
For decades it used to be an utter shithole. Just watch the movie Taxi Driver to see what NYC used to be like

youtube.com/watch?time_continue=205&v=-fsbQP4lYUE

Bless you open, but I am not ready for these feels and the mourning of your great loss ameri-bro.

You always have my sympathies.
See you in God's kingdom.

It hasn't really improved from gentrification, maybe the shit neighborhoods, but it's becoming more expensive and the character is dying
Also people won't get punished for graffiti

"B...B....But white people be moving into our hoods and be gentrifying n sheeit"


Nigger whos grandaddy got bussed into neighbourhood 50 years ago while whites got driven out by niggerfication.

>someday a real rain'll come and wash all the scum off the streets

Mannn I identified with Travis BEFORE I moved to an urban Shitlibistan...need to rewatch. It was already my favorite movie when I was in 'burban flyover country.

Both made sense

Gentrification really cleaned that city up and brought the homicide count significantly down thanks to Guliani. Even Brooklyn looks a million times better than it was in the 70s/80s

I hope I don't get polio or lead poisoning

In the 1950s california was full of communists. California has always been an ultra leftist haven

California actually used to be very right wing when it was mostly white
Nixon was from California

...

Not according to the statistics I'm looking at. Crime may be down, but the city is less white than it's ever been. In 1940, there were almost 7 million non-Hispanic whites in New York City, making up 92% of the population. Today there are 2.7 million non-Hispanic whites, who make up 33% of the population.

Supposedly there are 2 million Jews living in New York, which would leave non-Hispanic, non-Jewish white people at 700k, or about 8.5% of the population. The numbers aren't 100% accurate, because the sources give slightly different numbers, but they're accurate enough to get the job done.

This New York from 1993 looks far better to me than the current New York:

youtube.com/watch?v=fT4lDU-QLUY

That looks like dogshit. Sure, it's clean, but it's also completely sterile. There's no life or characters to it at all.

"Yeah, thanks globalists I prefer a bunch of flickering screens and a broken news ticker that's been broken for a year

If you could go anywhere back in time, where would you go, and what would you do?

That picture is literally hell on earth.

fukc those days. if you weren't a white male you were treated like shit. POC were fucking lynched and treated like garbagte

fuck those days

How did New York get this clean in the 90s? What the fuck did they do to this city?
youtube.com/watch?v=jlWp32BS2QI Also comfy music version

naw

this is

...

You think the crowds the worst part? There's also a giant screen in Chinese, and the thing that has news slide across it (pic related) has been broken since late 2016

>This New York from 1993 looks far better to me than the current New York:

In 1993 there were almost 2000 homicides in the city compared to 335 in 2016. Giualani then got tough on crime, rounded up all the junkies and homeless and kicked them out. Then NYC went through rapid gentrification as finance and tech sectors started popping up everywhere. Now only the extremely rich can live there considering rent is like 2500 a month at the minimum.
The city feels soulless and fake but its much better than it was in the past four decades

No idea, considering 1993 was more or less the peak of the massive wave of crime and murder of the 80s and 90s. I guess they were better at isolating the niggers from the people back then.

That's the thing about these threads. You only see pretty photos but people are so, so poorly informed.

I still don't lock my door. When I lived with my parents I never owned a house key my entire life because I never needed one. My house was never broken in to (although I'll admit we had one car stolen, a truck almost stolen, and the same truck robbed three other times)

Maybe its because I live in very rural, northern Ontario, but maybe you burgers should stop being so paranoid.

i take it you don't live very close to a res

I lived within 20 minutes of three different reserves in three different directions. You can't really live far away from a reserve in northern Ontario.

I mean there were maybe 1 or 2 black people in my town but a good percentage were native. Its pretty sad but funny; the town actually had to remove all the garbage cans because everytime they tried to put them out some stupid Indian would light them on fire

I don't think gentrification is the right word. The white population has declined since the 90s, while the black population has remained stable. Most of the growth is Asian and Hispanic.

It's weird looking at charts that show the historical population of New York boroughs. In The Bronx, whites have gone from making up 98% of the population in 1940, to 11% of the population today..

Considering how much harder life was back then, given the lack of technology, they were doing pretty damn well for themselves.
Besides, organized crime usually doesn't affect civilians too much.

I grew up in northwestern BC and nobody locked their doors until some insane person broke into my friends house and murdered his mom and almost his dad.

They extorted everyone who tried to run a business. They were heavily involved in petty crime and robbery. Yes it affects normal people.

The city may be sterile, but that's a Japanese city full of Japanese people, so I don't see the problem.

it used to be even far better than it is even now. I'm not sure if you're also an nyc resident but this place is literally a filthy hell compared to any japanese or european cities(this includes moscow, stpeters, warsaw tallin ect...)

Manhattan (the only part of NYC that matters) has become whiter over the last decade or two.

shibuya's crowded but nowhere near as bad as nyc friendo

youtu.be/N9fmN67oqcM

bullshit

The true Sup Forums endgame

>Manhattan is the only place that matters

Why? Is it because of (((Wall Street)))

>white people

I think you mean Jews and liberals

why are you lying this blatantly?

That was usually limited to the neighbourhood they were operating in. Most of the crime was also associated with the prohibition, which was the left's moral crusade at the time. The crime rate today is still higher than it was during the peak of organized crime in the 1920s.

have you been to either? having lived in nyc and tokyo I can say without a doubt that it is far cleaner and nicer than nyc. Sure there may be more people but good god this city is a living hell.

God, it was beautiful.

Looks like Italians were the niggers of that era. Fucking greasy catholic wops and their stupid mafia

Ah yes, the 1970s. The demise of the organized crime lords and the entrance of synthetic drugs. Crime became a poor person's game.

Doesn't mean the murders aren't mostly rival criminals, either. Or that life for the average person in the 1990s was worse than in the 1950s.

Fuck off shill. Go back to plebbit

Woah, if we're going to generalize, let's not forget those Irish!

Crypto aussies at it again

The difference is that back before minorities flooded into every city, you were relatively safe and you weren't at the constant risk of being mugged, raped or mudered on the street like you are today if you walk into the wrong neighbourhood, or if you're outside at the wrong time.

>and the entrance of synthetic drugs
Well, no. The immigration act of 1965 and the civil rights movement of the 60s, are largely responsible for destroying America.

(((Associated))) Press
your not missing much user. cheer up.

No point fetishizing the 50s, the groundwork was already all laid out then and the culture of the American 50s inevitably lead to this.
Remember the teens of the 50s were the adults of the 60s, 70s, 80s

You do realize Chicago had around 2 million undocumented immigrants around the turn of the century, 1900?

And that the US became a lot more strict regarding immigration, in the 1930s?

Wasnt it ?!

Irish are definitely bottom-tier amongst races considered white, even lower than the Italians. They were the first mob in the US I believe too. At least the Italians had good art and food. Irish niggers had potato stew and their greatest contribution to the world as a people is the leprechaun.

Not to mention they had already fucked our world up for the next 100 years by going against Germany in ww2

>An old nigger in a broken lawn chair and a generous layer of grafitti are what gives a city soul

Noty

Looks like the nigger is asking for a handout with that solo cup too.

Good old days when we could hope for the end of the world to come at any minute without notice.

Most social change comes from the unintended consequences of well meaning policies. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and all that. It's not like the 50s generation planned to turn the US into the hellscape that it is today.

For example, the birth control pill was made to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but instead turned women into whores and made the birth rate plummet to an all time low.

Equality was meant to give blacks equal rights. The problem is, blacks aren't equal to whites, so when they're left to compete with someone who's got an average IQ 15 points above their own, they're obviously going to fail. The consequences were widespread crime, millions of niggers on welfare, racial conflict and the destruction of the black community.

I'm not even going to go into what giving women the right to vote led to.

The point is, it's very difficult to predict what's going to happen when you implement certain policies, and I'm certain the white people of the 1950s would never have wanted the US to turn into what it is today.

Yeah I overlooked that at first. Notice how he just put the cup there, lik3 "y'know, maybe someone will throw something in it, idc, I'm not even bothering to hold it or ask for money".

Literally too lazy to even beg

2 million white illegal immigrants.
And even then, the crime rate was considerably lower than it is today.

youtube.com/watch?v=2Bhl5UykGw8

I didn't say the top picture has soul, you dumb nigger. I said the bottom picture lacked soul.
The picture at the top could have been turned into something far better than the sterile shit at the bottom.

Fuck off, I have see what you Scandicucks can do to public spaces. I'd rather be in a padded isolation cell

Yeah, I'm all for Whites retaking the cities but this Chipotlization is shit

1919, Chicago Race Riots

tfw under russian ocupation
tfw russians send family to gulags and siberia
tfw red army steals rapes and kills
tfw destroyed economy
tfw Riga and other historical places destroyed by red army
tfw opressed culture and language by USSR
1950s good times............

irish are special cases

like 'rural whites,' their standard mode is pretty low class, but their intellectuals are equals in all respects

>I'd rather be in a padded isolation cell
That's probably where you'll end up, Mohammed.

I cannot take it anymore

America, just drop the fucking a-load

>2017 old comies still in power, people leave to western europe in amazing speeds, government plans to to bring guest workers, corruption every where, majority of land sold to foreigners, Eu prices and uganda tier wages.
Latvia YES

Still better then under USSR.

>A Scandicuck calling another country black
You might have Sup Forums fooled because you're next to Sweden and look based by comparison, but you're not fooling me. You're just the same socialist hellhole, albeit with slightly less niggers than those Ikeahomos
