Black people losing California is worse than them losing NYC

[RealCrownHeights]

He’s right. The West Indian day parade is bigger in size and population than Mardi Gras. I got love for my southern brehs but y’all gotta chill with the ignorance.

The West Indian day parade also began in Harlem. Everything black in the northeast began in Harlem. Black renaissance period is Harlem.

You broke the cardinal rule on this site. You mentioned West Indian and NYC.

Now you gonna have somebody from chitllinburg saying we only say NY because it's "popular"

Dude are y'all drunk?

You comparing a one day event that takes place in a few select neighborhoods that draws minimal tourism to a TWO WEEK LONG celebration where the whole city(state really) ie jobs, schools, government buildings completely shut down and you can hardly drive anywhere the city cuz damn near every street is blocked off by parades that draws tourism from around the WORLD?

Breh, the HBCU Bayou Classic in NOLA is bigger than that lil immigrant day parade y'all got over there.

Y'all really have no idea.

And FYI the Chicago black reinassance was arguably just as significant and developed independently of Harlem's.

A 2 Week party compared to a Rennaissance that had W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Cyril Briggs, and Walter Francis White, Josephine Baker and Paul Robeson; writers and poets Zora Neale Hurston, Effie Lee Newsome, Countee Cullen; visual artists Aaron Douglas and Augusta Savage. including Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Eubie Blake, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Ivie Anderson, Josephine Baker, Fats Waller, Jelly Roll Morton etc

Ya boy said that the west indian day parade was bigger than Mardi gras in NOLA. I said no.

He said that that black NYC in it's heyday had more "energy" than black NOLA. I said no.

I'll likely dip out of LA county in the next few years but I'd rather die than move to Stockton, San Bernadino, Sacramento, Victorville, IE, Antelope Valley, Palmdale. Might as well just give up on life. I could see if you had kids (even then I wouldn't want to raise black kids there) but as a single man? Nothing but bum bytches, single moms, hood nikkas that got gentrified out, broke messicans and meth heads.

got family in DC, ATL to a lesser extent and NYC. I'm thinking either DC, NYC or out of the states for a few years.

They both bring in about a million +. Black NYC absolutely, had more in i'ts heyday. Like I said you picked one event, Harlem was live and lit on a Friday after a Duke Ellington performance or a boxing match. I'm not mad at all, I've gotten p*ssy at Curry Fest and at "Ya heard me palooza" facts are facts though

Harlem Renaissance wasn't just about music breh. But the music associated with the Harlem Renaissance came from New Orleans

Edit: forgot to answer your question breh. The answer to that is Phillip A. Payton didn't set up shop in New Orleans. Those artists played everywhere too btw.

Black California that most people know came out of the last waves of the Great Migration. There's a different energy around that.

Already been ruined due to hypersensitive nikkas taking offense anytime NY/NYC is mentioned and engaging in "city wars".
