With each new wave of people who move into Brooklyn, the people who get squeezed out tend to say “This neighborhood isn’t what it used to be, it’s going to hell now! Do you see all the ___xyz___ that’s living here now?” They say this even if the people who used to live in an area were murderous, drug dealing Italians, and the new wave being murderous, drug dealing West Indians — both of which pretending to be God-fearing people.
Anyway, point being, living in Brooklyn, nothing changes, just the make-up of people on the outside. On the inside, as a whole, everything is always just the same, uninformed, ignorant, philistines, with a usual hint a$$holery, who masquerade as wannabe high-class citizens.
Case in point: this video that some fool from Bay Ridge uploaded onto YouTube. It takes place on Bay Ridge Avenue between 3rd and 4th Avenue — nearer the corner of 4th.
Same people, different skin.
