Inner-city Black America is often stereotyped as a place of random violence; in fact, violence in the inner city is regulated through an informal but well-known code of the street. How you dress, talk, and behave can have life-or-death consequences, with young people particularly at risk. The most powerful force counteracting this code and its reign of terror is the strong, loving, decent family, and we meet many heroic figures in the course of this narrative.

The Intruths of the areas
Revisado: 05-23-24
The negative portrayal of Philadelphia’s African American neighborhoods. The negative stereotypes of African Americans that do live in these low income areas. I worked in some of these areas as a Philadelphia Olive Officer for a number of years and I do not agree with his portrayal of the African American community. I could not finish this book! This book is a portrayal for people who do not know these areas. It caters to negative connotations about the “Hood”. The book did have some truth in it but overall I found the book offensive and an exaggeration of African American life in these communities discussed.
