Howard Stern often talks about growing up in Roosevelt Long Island where blacks beat the shit out of him and then moving to an all white school where he learned he didn't fit in with white people either reminds me of my childhood in Detroit. Only I won most of my fights. But in Detroit I got in fights for being white and in the burbs I got in fights for not being white enough. Immigrant parents.
I think that would be a good sitcom. Only don't make it cheezy like The Neighborhood with Cedric the Entertainer. Make it more realistic like when George moved out to Archie's neighbood. Only have it be a white who moves to a black neighborhood. I think that's what The Neighborhood is but it's more gentrification if you know what I mean. There's no crime or thugs in the "Neighborhood" so it's unrealistic. I want a sitcom that touches on that shit. Explains how a crack house can exist in your Neighborhood and you don't even know it.
My brother lives in Dearborn, MI. Arab capital of the country. He has a suspecious house in his neighborhood, suspect activity happens. I think the neighborhood has called about the house but what can the cops do? No laws being broken. Who knows what's in that house.
I have a sushi place on the corner. No way they are paying their bills with the money they make. No way. No one is ever there. They don't care.
You go in and want some sushi? Sure they make a you the sushi. It's a cover business. Probably sex trafficing. I know there is also a massage parlor in the plaza that gives happy endings. If I know it so do the cops.
