The last time I went to Wakefield like 10 years ago it seemed like a straight up black neighborhood, apparently there are a lot of Latinos there now

There are Hispanics but that area is probably 70-80% black. Same with eastechester.

Edenwald projects according to the stats has a pretty large hispanic minority but let’s see who agrees

What’s funny is that block between Bedford and Flatbush is nice. I would say every building on that block looks more beautiful than that one.

The block also has nice large Victorian homes

Yeah mostly black still but that's a lot of Hispanics. Wakefield even has a Mexican deli. Hispanics also live in the white parts of The Bronx.

And remember that people who are half black/half Hispanic, and afro-Latinos are counted as "Hispanic". Which would mean Casanova is not counted as black.

• December 7, 1993 – Colin Ferguson shoots 25 passengers, killing six, on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train out of Penn Station.

A black man did this. He was tired of white folks

I’ve known Panamanians and garifuna Hondurans who don’t put Hispanic on forms.

But those are just the few people I know personally. Not going to speak for the whole population of those groups.

2000 was really an extension of the late 90s imo. The real 00s didn't start until 02-03

True shyt.

The world had its share of problem, but overall there was a sense of balance, community and contentedness that just made day to day living interesting and people were alot more grounded in reality.

Post 9-11 The world became a place full of jadedness , uncertainty and anxiety.

Holy shyt @goke313 did you know a dude named Spades who lived in your first building? He’s my homie that I said did 10 years up north. He lived and grew up in that same building.

I left that building when I was 4 years old(1993/1994)

Was that from when a cop killed a drug dealer in the 90s?
