SOMETHING YOUR TOUR GUIDE MIGHT NOT TELL YOU:

The heart of NYC’s Financial District is built on a huge 18th century African Burial Ground. Some 419 Africans were discovered in 1991, a large portion women and children.

The burial ground extends from Broadway Southward under City Hall, and almost to the site of the former World Trade Center. It is believed that there are as many as 20,000 slavery-era Africans in graves under the buildings in Lower Manhattan.

Abolish historical amnesia and ponder for a moment the fact that this financial epicenter of the world is built on slavery, oppression, and death.”

Literally, and daily.

I hate to say it...but sometimes i feel for black people to truly be emancipated in this country....it must be destroyed.
:manny:

Also, I'm really starting to think New York might be the most racist big city in America. If not the world.
Paris is worse

Never forget...

Seneca Village - Wikipedia
Central Park in New York has a dark history.
It was once a thriving town of blks and later on poor whites that was razed to the ground to build a park there. Apparently no trace of where the residents went remains.
thank you for mentioning this. I learned about this a while back and this had me heated.

This is why I say I think NYC is the most racist big city in America. It has a mad crazy racist history! Everything from human zoos to nazis having conferences in Madison square garden.

Cacs have done incredible disgusting depraved things to slaves for 400 years. Literally anything they desired murder, sex, treating them as pets.

There’s many stuff that isn’t documented. Many.

Black people have tried to build and grow in the past but each time it was destroyed on BS reasons.

fukk em.

Funny. For such a group that proclaims "superiority" over others they sure have done everything in their power to make sure nobody else gets to their level...that's the height of insecurity.

I'm glad the lie of white supremacy is further being exposed.

Those francophone Africans be acting like that place is the best thing since sliced bread

Inaccurate. If you had any interactions with Francophone west africans LIVING in France you would understand their plight and anti-French sentiment since they are pushed out to live in banlieues equivalent of American project housing. Riots have broken out in those African dominated neighborhoods as a result of disenfranchisement and police brutality.

Your point might only be valid if those Francophone africans you interacted with have never been to France hence have a romanticized view of France and Europe as the promised Land/paradise causing them to want to go by any means causing the migrant crisis but that's a conversation for another day.

Yea Paris is bad maybe not toward Black American tourists but native Black population from former colonies are definitely catching hell.
NYC is pretty bad too but you can be insulated since the city had basically ethnic enclaves pre-gentrification.
