Blackman Da Traveller, great to see you in San Francisco. Stay safe and I hope you visit us here in Australia oneday mate.
I love my city so diverse and much to see beautiful place in general. Some crazies but as long as there’s a mutual respect everything will be fine. Like Mozzy said it’s a beautiful struggle and when your in sf your bound to see something negative or positive something will definitely happen 💯 great video
Hey sir, I wish I had know you were visiting. I would have shown you around. Love your channel, keep up the excellent work. 🤘❤️👏❤️🤘
I jus recently found ur channel n it's extremely awesome n refreshing to see a black man traveling to diff countries/states. I'm always seeing white men which is not a problem with me n their content is great but its jus really fantastic to see a man of color showing us other party of the world not to mention ur attitude n personality is amazing as well. Keep up the positive vibes, I'll def stay tuned in for more videos and ones u already put up. 🙏💯🕉♥️👏
Loving this video and the vibes bro by the way peace and blessings to all

One thing I noticed that I haven't heard anyone speak on is how Central American Latinos are playing SALSA which is traditional Puerto Rican music. They are non-Blk Latinos playing essentially Blk music but people are being led to assume it's all the same under the umbrella term "Latino". They aren't playing THEIR native music but Blk Latino music.

Be careful it’s pretty dangerous around them parts. You’re so close. Go downtown, hop on the bus across the street( where you were standing when you started the video) and ride it to the embarcadero. All the nicer areas are downtown. Or hit up Jermaine Ellis on YT while your out there and I’m sure he’d collaborate with you. Those girls annoyed me with their laughing. 😂

Hmm... I wonder how old you are? 🤔 Anyhow, I grew up in NYC and haven't visited Frisco, LA or San Diego in 40 years. During the 70s, I thought that no city I would visit would compare to my city -- a city overflowing with excitement, sounds, character and diversity infused with crime, grime & impending danger at every turn. With that said, 40 years ago, I thought Frisco was the most beautiful city I had ever seen; it even had a business district indistinguishable from NYC's Wall Street business district, but prettier in some ways because of the pavement. I thought it was a city that was like a tiny version of NYC, but on the West Coast ^_^ to my amazement. The weather was mild during the winters, the greenery was to die for and the people were very nice and very, very liberal. The only downside that I experienced was the hills EVERYWHERE and the bands of carefree homeless folk that traveled the streets & parks panhandling, sellin' drugs & trying to get a shelter for the night, I guess -- but in no way were these folk threatening like you see today; actually a great relief from the criminality that I had experienced in NYC at the street level. But I must say, I had never seen so many Chinese people condensed in one city; in NYC they are spread out through 5 boroughs with about 300k more than Frisco today -- Yes, Blackman Da Traveller was incorrect about his assessment about there being more Chinese people in Frisco then anywhere outside of China... haha 😅 SMH ... and I did find it rather comical to see so many openly gay Chinese people at that time as well, which was unheard of in NYC. 😅😂... But it's all Love. ^_^ LA was the greatest disappointment, the most overhyped city in America, since it was really like a big, open TOWN -- at the time, they didn't even have a subway system. The people there dressed & acted like folk from some type warp dated decades earlier. Southern cities from back east had more flavor and excitement than those country-ar$e folk livin' there -- SMDH ... That city had no middle-class -- totally a city of the haves and have nots, and full of wannabes with crushed dreams. Yeah, that big town/city was too country for me! San Diego was the quaintest lil' town in America and just perfect for retirement, I thought ^_^ . But that was 40 years ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This city used to be very enjoyable. I would’ve liked it if u spoke about ur experience more since this video was really just u walking around 24th n mission and not exploring full neighborhood or saying anything about ur experience as a black man lmao
