South Bronx vs. Compton

[TreeBeard]

No he is talking about the way Toronto media says Toronto is going to hell because there is 65 murders in a city of 2, 600 000.

You know what the sad part is? It is America's fault if Canada has a bad view of Compton. We don't hear any news about Compton in Canada. We only know about Compton's reputation through your Hollywood movies, and other sources of entertainment. In fact for me personally any bad opinion I have on any major American city except Buffalo is due to movies or entertainment. (By the way I have no bad impression of Buffalo it’s just the only major American city I have been to) I have yet to see and positive movie about Detroit. It is all gang and violence related. I guess the American public loves to watch how the poor live and kill each other, and this is why we keep seeing movies such as Get Rich or Die Trying coming out. It would be nice to see something positive about these cities. Maybe the Super Bowl this year can help Detroit’s image.

And no 50 cent going from a thug possible drug dealer, to a rapper is not a positive movie. I do like 50 cent’s music I should add.

One last question to those who live in the Bronx or Compton or any other termed violent area in America. How close are some of these movies to showing the true accuracy of life in these neighbourhoods. I mean Compton or the Bronx could have some nice places, but I would never know this.
