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.

Dude are y'all drunk? :snoop:

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. :heh:

Y'all really have no idea.

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

Y’all just know Harlem, Bed Stuy, South Jamaica, South Bronx and Staten because of Wu tang.


You probably know more than most but the average black person in America cannot recite all black NY areas off the top of the dome.


Point is just because something is in NY does immediately make it popular.

Not so much now but in the past new york was the spot.

Move the goal posts guy.:mjlol:

if we are talking parades, NYC’s is bigger.

there are millions of people in NYC alone that don’t go to the parades but they go to the parties with people from all over the world.

Y’all need help with your hatred for the big city man:picard:

You gotta let that shyt go man. It’s okay to put down your nuggets and fries and leave your plantation and travel the world breh.:francis:

I'm in Brooklyn and I feel like I'm going to have to get out of here in the next few years. They tearing down houses and putting up apartments buildings, and charging what people pay monthly for a mortgage.

We need our own state. :mjcry:

black people in California never seemed to take politics as serious as much as they did in the south...which is why they're thriving in the south

And I'm not talking about black radical or black revolutionary political history. I'm talking about bare bones power accumulation like we see in Chicago or the North East and obviously the South.
you nonados nikkas dont be knowing shyt, there have been black mayors, and nikkas have taken politics seriously, West coast blacks are some of the earliest ones to attest against immigration and how it negatively impacts ADOS people

did the los angeles area ever have a large black population even?
yes it had a good population and was at one point nearly 20% at its peak

LA Black history and west coast black history goes deep as well. A Black man was responsible for alot of architecture in LA

NYC has way more black people than any of the other major cities and some major cities put together. The West coast has some historic neighborhoods and cities like Oakland, but overall it's not touching NYC as far as black people in numbers in one area.
NYC is the biggest city, so numbers for pops are always gonna be higher than with other cities.

2ndly, alot of those "black people" in New york are mostly not even ADOS. alot of them are caribbeans or africans. So they dont count.

and having the biggest pop dont mean alot without the impact, Chicago has lesser "blacks" than NYC in terms of raw numbers, but its undoubtely Chicago >>> New york. when it comes to black american ties.

Because it has had more impact on black american culture
