Author and social commentator Brother Polight returned to VladTV to talk about his experience leaving Brownsville, New York. Polight notes that many brag about living in the hood, but that a common mentality amongst people who live there is, “Can’t wait to get out.” Polight also argues that “black communities” are mostly a myth: “I didn’t live in a black community, I lived in a white community populated with black people.” Watch above.
