ya'll are overly excited for what?
It's good that maga is taking a step back, but thinking deeper what does this mean for you as blk men? You have had no politicians on your side really.
You only vote to keep maga from abusing you without justice
Mind you the Dems are not going to listen to you after you help them win, you need to be more strategic and savvy as a BLOCK

Conservatism literally makes life worse for everyone. The big win is Mamdani winning because that's a continuation of the progressive movement that started with Bernie in 2016 but was beat down and neutered by the moderates. Progressive policies benefit black American.
Can you name the specific progressive policies that benefit black MEN in America
Midwest
Hanging em up

Here is the full report summarizing the data and analysis on cycling/bike deaths in New York City, with focus on racial and ethnic groups and other relevant factors for 2024-2025:
In recent years, New York City has seen a troubling increase in cycling fatalities, with 30 cyclists dying in 2023—the highest toll in over two decades—and 24 deaths reported in 2024. Cyclist fatalities accounted for over 10% of all traffic deaths in NYC in 2024.bicycleaccidentlawyers+1
Fatality and Injury Trends
- Cyclist fatalities dropped significantly from 21 in 2014 to a low of 10 in 2018, following the Vision Zero initiative.
- This decline reversed with fatalities surging to 28 in 2019 and reaching 30 by 2023, with 24 cyclist deaths in 2024 maintaining a high fatality rate.
- NYC saw approximately 5,148 cyclist injuries in 2024, marking the highest injury number of the decade.
- In 2025, there was some improvement with only one traditional bike cyclist death in the first half compared to three in the same period in 2024, reflecting efforts to reduce fatalities.orlowlaw+2
Geographic Distribution by Borough (2024)
- Brooklyn had the highest number of cyclist fatalities (8 deaths), representing 15.1% of all traffic deaths there.
- The Bronx and Queens each had 4 cyclist deaths (12.5% and 13.3% of their traffic deaths, respectively).
- Manhattan had 3 cyclist deaths (9.3% of traffic deaths).
- Staten Island reported zero cyclist fatalities, likely due to smaller population and safety measures.bicycleaccidentlawyers
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Cycling Deaths (Context from broader data)
While specific detailed race/ethnicity breakdowns of NYC cyclist deaths by year are not fully explicit in the available reports, broader research shows:- Black and Hispanic cyclists bear a disproportionate burden of cycling deaths nationally and are often overrepresented in NYC traffic fatality statistics relative to their population share.
- Black cyclists have death rates 4-5 times higher per mile traveled compared to White cyclists.
- Hispanic cyclists experience about 70% higher fatality rates per mile traveled than White cyclists.
- Asian cyclists have lower fatality rates than all other groups except White cyclists, often about 64% lower per mile compared to White cyclists.
- American Indian/Alaska Native groups have the highest fatality rates nationally but have low NYC population representation.streetsblog+3
Causes and Risk Factors
- Distracted driving is a leading cause behind severe cyclist accidents.
- Failure to yield right of way and road user errors also contribute significantly.
- Many fatal incidents occur on roads without protected bike lanes.
- E-bike related deaths are rising, with 23 of 30 cyclist deaths in 2023 involving e-bike riders, illustrating a growing risk from these faster vehicles.thefastmanlawgroup+1
Safety Initiatives and Outlook
- Vision Zero contributed to a notable decline in deaths through improved street designs and traffic enforcement, but gains have stalled in recent years.
- Recent 2025 data shows traffic deaths at their lowest since 2018, giving hope that street safety measures including expanded protected bike lanes are having a positive impact.nytimes+1
- Advocacy continues for more protected bike lanes and enforcement to address driver behaviors and reduce cyclist risk.transalt
Summary
In summary, cycling deaths in NYC have surged since the mid-2010s, with Black and Hispanic cyclists disproportionately affected according to national data and local socio-demographic patterns. Brooklyn has the highest borough fatality count, and e-bikes now pose a significant safety challenge. Despite strides from Vision Zero, cycling remains a high-risk activity in NYC, with clear racial disparities and infrastructure gaps needing urgent attention.This comprehensive overview provides the context and data necessary to prioritize interventions targeted at the most impacted racial/ethnic groups and boroughs while shaping policy toward safer cycling environments citywide.nyc+9

Nationally, Black and Hispanic Americans face a much higher risk of cycling fatalities per mile traveled compared to White Americans. Studies from 2022-2025 show:
- Black cyclists experience about 34 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, which is roughly 4.5 times higher than the 7.5 deaths per 100 million miles for White cyclists. This means that even though Black Americans cycle fewer miles, their fatality risk is vastly disproportionate.streetsblog+2
- Hispanic cyclists have about a 70% higher per-mile fatality rate compared to White cyclists.peopleforbikes+1
- Asian bicyclists have significantly lower fatality rates than White cyclists—around 64% lower per mile traveled.hsph.harvard+1
- Indigenous Americans have the highest fatality rates nationally when accounting for population and travel distances, though data on this group is less complete in some studies.streetsblog
- These disparities are not only stark in cycling but also exist for pedestrians and vehicle occupants, with Black and Hispanic Americans facing higher fatality rates overall.hsph.harvard+1
- The racial disparities in traffic fatalities are greatly influenced by structural factors such as infrastructure inequities, access to safe cycling routes, and socio-economic disparities.sciencedirect+1
- Black and Hispanic Americans encounter these heightened risks despite generally traveling less by bike and foot than White Americans, suggesting systemic risks and barriers to safe cycling access.betterbikeshare+2
This national report highlights fatality disparities by race/ethnicity using per-mile traveled fatality rates as a key measure of risk, providing the most accurate lens to understand true disparities beyond absolute numbers. It underscores structural inequities contributing to these disproportionate risks for vulnerable racial groups.

I'm curious what policy do you want that specifically targets black men and why it's more important than the ones @Elim Garak listed
