In the previous post, people wanted to know what was going on under the tree.
It luckily happens that I took a second photo, and then I heavily cropped it to get the tree area. I think some non-SWPLs, possibly even Hispanics, are having a picnic, but most of the people in the vicinity of the tree are just there for the shade.
And, yeah, keep it up with the NYC pictures. Reminds me of home. ;)

Even if you don't count the picnickers, many of the people in this photo are in groups. In other words, they're out in the park socializing with friends or family members, probably having a fun time, not engaged in solo sunbathing SWPL-style.

My god, the heat, the brightness of the sun and being around people isn't my idea of fun. As you've alluded to in the previous post, it seems it's okay to loiter at the park, but to loiter on a stoop is seen as suspicious activity. Loitering on a sidewalk cafe is okay too. I don't get it man. It has to do with subconscious prejudice against the wrong kind of people.

What, no roaming gangs of NAMs putting a beatdown on the SWPLs and stealing their iPhones?

"Central Park is as safe as it gets"
I'm sure the SWPLs in Portland thought that, too.

Ah, it would be divine to be able to not worry about annoying miscreants creating scenes that may cause you to get involved in legal or physical trouble. Some people live in areas overrun by miscreants because it's hip, up and coming or just cheap. But to have to deal with shady situations isn't worth the savings. You could try to ignore the miscreants who cause trouble, but they might not ignore you and BAM, you face a lengthy court battle and face thousands of dollars in legal fees and possibly serve time in prison for defending yourself, breaking up a fight, being a witness to a crime or some other crap. You will also may be tarnished with a felony and your job prospects will be severely limited.

Wasn't Central Park a terrifying wasteland as recently as the 1980s?

Why such lowres pictures?

I'm sure Central Park is pretty safe but I would still avoid it. Even secure public places are generally populated by NAMs and tattooed walmartians. Even if SWPLs are present, their childlessness contrasts with the many offspring of prole whites serving to remind one of the ongoing dysgenics that will destroy this country.

Looks like some fatties in that pic, probably from middle america. Can we just liquidate those people already?

Central Park is safe. There is no need to avoid it, even if you are a true believer in the Blogosphere's Quasi-Homoerotic Black Male Physical Superiority Fetish.

JP: As Sailer has said, things seem to be different in NYC. Where I split with Sailer is that this is the result of some New York conspiracy: most likely Bloomberg has a mandate to keep order, and should the Democrats retake City Hall, we will be back to killer squeegee men and mugger money.

Central Park would be safer if Tavern on the Green was still in business. NAMs see SWPLs as saviors, but they usually avoid their elite establishments because they feel out of place. With the restaurant gone, I would still bet on it as a boringly safe place. Besides, it is a recreational pad for the rich, as it is surrounded by multimillion dollar homes on all four sides of the park.
Once you take affordability out of the equation, you will see a dwindling of NAMs. Whether it's in housing, school or food, high pricing is a NAM buster. This being unfortunate as middle class Whites will be off limits as well.

This is absolutely true. Bring back the Democrats to City Hall and you will see a decline in living standards. My biggest gripe is their priority on subsidized housing which the White Middle Class has no belonging. Affordable housing in NYC is mostly a NAM only club and has been a disaster because of it.
