[Dad]

He gave props and wasn't disrespectful in mu opinion

I never said he was

 

[Tair]

imagine bragging about building something and yet allowing every other immigrant group to stake claim to it, without doing anything about it. this is not a flex.

africans will run Harlem in the future and theres nothing you will do about it

No, Harlem is about to turn white.

Its hilarious that you are chastising black foreigners for migrating to another country when there are records of ADOS fleeing America for legitimate reasons. You also have European ancestors in your bloodline, and I have never seen you ever disrespect your European ancestors for migrating to America. Its obvious you didnt about these facts before you post.

Slavery in the Dutch colonies of New York date back to the early 1600s no one “fled” since some Black Americans were up there for hundreds of years

Stop c00ning. Dominicans have been the main ones taking that hood over but y’al still talking about white boys who are still technically a minority in that hood

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Much respect to these Africans. I rather them keep coming to the area for all the AA folks who keep leaving.

Can’t get mad at these Africans while some of the AAs are on Facebook bragging about moving to Georgia or North Carolina.

What exactly are y’all mad about.

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

I have a lot of Love and Pride for my people.

We fought and built this country and we did not flee, I feel honored to live on the soil my ancestors built and I have enough pride not to flee when things get tough

So slaves didn't flee the South, some even making it as far north as Canada?

Humans been migrating since the beginning of time. Leaving a bad situation for a better one is nothing to be ashamed of.

And why bring that type of energy to this thread in the first place? OP said nothing that was negative about ADOS. If somebody was talking slick, then by all means. But nobody was until you came in with that bullshyt.

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

@Premeditated do you have that same energy for the Chinese and Lebanese who run y'all economy?

Africans in Harlem: "You feel a sense of pride... This is the place you need to be." • FRANCE 24

FRANCE 24 English​

Nov 22 , 2022
New York City's #Harlem neighbourhood became the center of Black American culture in the 1920s, and another "Harlem Renaissance" has been taking place in more recent years, this one driven by #immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa. The new book "#Africans in Harlem: An Untold New York Story" shines light on the African cultural influence shaping the neighbourhood. Author Boukary Sawadogo, associate professor of cinema studies at the City University of New York, explains that three quarters of African arrivals to the US came after the year 2000, many of them economic migrants from French-speaking countries like Senegal, Mali and Burkina Faso. Sawadogo joined us to chat about the African affinity for Harlem, the relationship between Africans and African-Americans, and the power of seeing Black heroes on screen in films like "Wakanda Forever".

Yea 116th street. There’s also a Somalian restaurant that is there. First to ever open in NY. I was there before Covid. Wonder if it’s still there.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

As a Haitian person it’s interesting to hear those Africans on 116th talk because sometimes I understand what they are saying. I also think most of the Haitians who live in Harlem live around here too. See Haitian flags in barbershops and stuff

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I’m glad he admitted that Africans were trying to fit in after the work we put in.

He insinuated that Africans were attracted to Harlem after all the work AA put in like Malcom, our art, style, etc. .

you really find it odd that people can inspire each other or did you really believe the narratives of inherent hatred?

i don't see anything profound or revelatory. he is not "admitting" anything just having a regular conversation and paying homage... like none of this should be incomprehensible

you don't have to always be in defence mode. "after all the work" ...the work wasn't denied it was appreciated, not claimed. let's just watch the videos like a normal person would without all the guards up. let's have a normal thread about the diaspora.

people come into these threads like they in a fight game stance ready finger hovering over the controller. shyt is not that serious

 

[FrontoBama]

You didn't build shyt. Harlem used to be Italian and Jewish till your ancestors fled from the south to NewYork.

That’s false.

Well, everything in this thread is false but as you’re talking about my specific realm I feel obliged to point out that is false.

Aframs from historical communities in Lower Manhattan were among the early inhabitants of modern Harlem amongst other displaced peoples. The neighborhood was burned down by the British in the war and largely farmland/ unpopulated suburbs until the late 19th century when it got the train lines linking it to the rest of Manhattan.

Blacks in Manhattan descended chiefly from the communities that were forcibly disestablished, often violently in Lower Manhattan in what’s termed the “March uptown“. You wont hear about these things because Coli systematically erases NY Black history, but make no mistske African American men and women BUILT our way through Manhattan.

Keep In mind for most of this history most NY blacks were barred from owning land and therefore voting.
