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?

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.
