Mind you that Jim is someone who doesn't reside in the continental
United States. He lives on Long Island. Long Island is renowned for
it's large collection of cans. Africans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans,
Dominicans, and South Americans. if you're looking for socks, t-
shirts, dvds, orange pickers or a taxi then Long Island is the place
to be.
Old folks always like to remember what it was like way back when and
apparently Jim is drifting off to a time long ago when white people
actually lived out there. He's reminiscing about when his neighbors
didn't dress up in Alan Iverson jerseys, didn't pimp their ride on his
lawn, and when Malt Liquor Duck wasn't the most popular beverage in
town.

The Bronx, on the other hand, is the ONLY section of NYC that is
located on the mainland. The Bronx is the home of the Yankees. The
Riverdale section of the Bronx, where I reside, has more jews than the
Wailing Wall on payday, and we all know the jews don't live in ghettos
unless ordered by a judge, so that should tell you it's a nice area.
It should also tell you that it's easier to find a chinaman that
doesn't smell like cabbage than it is to find a ham and mayo sandwich
around here.
Jim is just jealous he no longer lives amongst white folks.
