Right in the middle of Brooklyn’s main China town.
You can see from google the store looks like noting special but the two ladies working in the front are very nice. No debit or credit cards tho I think.
Make sure you get the avocado milkshake.
They also have jackfruit milkshake and I think they have that smelly fruit milkshake called Durian milkshake as well.
Oh?How tf this get this many likes?
Straight retarded.
Those are country ass areas, breh. Relax.Nah, that's where they were from. My direct ancestors were Oberlin educated fpoc and the first settlers of Rumley. It's a dead town now.
Shelby County Historical Society - Black History - Rumley
The 1846 edition of Howe’s "History of Ohio" says of Rumley, "There are 400 Negroes (half the population of Van Buren Township) as prosperous as their white neighbors and equal to the whites in morals, religion and intelligence."
The free blacks there had money and education and quite frankly were more sophisticated than the white population. Interestingly, interracial marriages were not a big deal because of the high status of black folks and this was even back in like 1830. Most of the free families there migrated from Virginia.
My direct ancestors left before the turn of the century for Chicago after moving from Rumley which was north of Anna, down the series of town finally into Piqua. Family that stayed behind are in between Springfield, Yellow Springs, Columbus and Westerville.
Rumley was not an anomaly. Actually, Central Ohio was populated by towns founded by freeman and freedman who did better than the local white populations.
Yep, then we get butt hurt when situations like this happen.
But a lot of us don't know hip hop history. Hip Hop has always been a part of my life, not just the music, and I JUST learned the truth of its history thanks to "illmaticdelta", and "Michaelwaynetv". Yes, i knew most it, but very important parts, I didn't know the truth, just myths that everyone else was repeating.Thanks, knew about earlier controversies, but not this one.
SHAME ON Lonnie Bunch for this, though

The Director of the museum. All the 30-50 year old Black PhDs and EdD s who grew up in the culture and this
is who gets the knod?![]()
I looked up her background and credentials and I'm not impressed.
In fact, this story messed up my weekend.

To her credit, there were a lot of hip hop industry people that worked with her who came out in her defense claiming she was legit and was serious about the authenticity of the culture.
Your point about many Black PhD and EdD who grew up in the culture is correct, but just because you have credentials behind your name, doesn't qualify you to tell the story. You can contribute your voice and even be considered a subject matter/expert, but I wouldn't hire you to tell the story.
Her background includes curatorial research and collecting, archival work, collections management, and program production.
This is the type of person that you want to tell a story, and unfortunately, were not promoting archivist work in the black community which is what I was alluding to earlier.
Because one may have first hand experience of the culture, that means one can only tell the story from that perspective.
Curators and archivist collect the many and varied individual perspectives and tell a story at a more macro and all-encompassing level.
The Obama Library right now is having an issue hiring black librarians and archivist because it's just too few out there.
That's about to be the new outrage in a minute when folks find out that the South Side library in the black side of town is being forced to hire white librarians. It's not their fault.
We need more folks getting into this line of work.
I understand your professor's disappointment but clearly the white students were in a better position to tell you all about your own black history in those first few days even though you and your families experience it first hand.
And they got it wrong!Lot of Black people with doctorates teaching courses about hip hop culture or who have written their dissertations about hiphop culture in the past 25 years.
another favorite of mine is the greek gyro
