Thc2lsd in Detroit the open air spots are in black neighborhoods and the cops will know why you are there.
Isn't Detroit like 85% Black, the whole citiy's like a Black neighborhood.Like do they just stop you in the dope spots or all over? What if you're just visiting someone you know, is it that segregated where that's not possible? Doesn't innocent till proven guilty apply anymore? I'm might not stand out like you'd think, or maybe I would

of course they know why your there..but here they always think your a cop
White guy in a black area,"He's a cop, or here to cop!" Black guy in white area,"He's here to slang dope or jack shit!"
Someone had in-laws that lived in a black hood in Oakland that they were visiting. The neighbors came out and were like"what the fuck are you doing here?" all pissed. They left them alone when they said they were visiting family.
The cops aren't too bad here, still pigs though. Sheriffs are dicks. It's funny listing to a police scanners, if they see a Black person or a group of Latinos they radio it in.
Is it really just Blacks/Latinos that slang? A lot of whites slang. This study
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2871399/ says that dealing rates are similar for blacks and whites. It also said that black dealers were more likely to just use weed, while whites were more like to abuse other drugs. It seems that many whites either slang to support their habit or they break the "don't get high on your own supply" rule more, and blacks more for money. IME it does seem like dealers who don't use are usually Black/Latino, while white dealers often have a habit. But you can't lump everyone together just by race, I've seen the opposite.
In the words of the late Rodney King,"Can we all get along?"
