Not sure if this is meant for me. But this is my point exactly when it comes to eastern cities like NYC and Boston and Areas like south florida. But to push it further a lot of people don't even know their full history cause so few actually look into it.
For instance, in the south and midwest you can be pretty sure that if you see a black person that they are most likely AA. But in NYC for even in traditional AA areas there is a good chance that a black person could be a West Indian descent and you and them don't even know it.
Of the descends the West Indians from the early 1900's how much of them intermarried and had kids with AA's they lived alongside over the years. How much even maintain or even know that they have island ancestry? I bet very few.
There are 2nd generation West Indians kids here that you'll think are full AA until they tell you about their background much less the descendants of these people.
That’s now, West Indians were not in high enough numbers before the 1990’s for that to happen
Again, in the 1920’s black American population was over 11,000,000 while West Indians were over 300,000

NYC in 1980 there were over 300,000 West Indians and over 1,200,000 black Americans. It was around the same for Puerto Rican’s

plus the great migration happened the years black immigrants couldn’t come to this country to live without schooling or a job. This is why they’re numbers stay the same for decades until the 1965 immigration act

Most of the people who came to nyc between the 1930’s-1970 were black southerners who can trace their roots. I’m one of them. Most black people who are American in the nyc area, their family came from north or South Carolina

you can’t look at history through the lens of today or you will be changing history

oh word where your people from in st. lucia? my folks from soufriere & castries though i also got some random relatives in vieux fort too

now as far as this whole tariq shyt goes my nikka he has never told a damn lie about our people or them africans. which i understand makes me in the vast minority lol but I cannot be offended by the absolute truth. lawdhamercy is tariq, yvette, tone, dr. claud anderson, and professor james small right and on point about our folks. we should take it as constructive criticism & pull each other's coats to move different b


Ti Rocher and Gros Islet and yea they make some good points and some bad points at times but to say well crime is like that because of the West Indians are a majority. Okay well what about when they weren't and crime was higher like that's a dumb tweet. Like when the girl got jumped in Crown Heights he said the kids probably weren't Ados and is preaching a narrative that West Indians are inherently violent

yeah i remember that but it was responsive and not an attack on the part of tariq. allow me to explain, you see there is a duplicity among us as west indians. on one hand we like the idea of flat blackness when it comes to foundational black american accomplishments or glory. hip hop, r&b, jazz, funk, michael jordan, allen iverson, james brown, aretha franklin, michael jackson, prince, beyonce, jay z and on and on. we call it "black excellence" like we done did it too, right? "wow look at stevie wonder the genius man, aren't WE great as black people?!!" lol aight cool watch me cook though....

but then when convenient if the accomplishment is made by a caribbean we highlight the caribbean part and start celebrating our accomplishments as west indians by making a distinction as a separate group. nicki minaj & tyson beckford immediately come to mind but there are tons of examples


now as for that horrible video of those kids setting it on ole girl in the heights, tariq's point is "well if yall nikkas wanna latch on to our good shyt but separate yourselves when it's just yall glorious accomplishments then hold that when it just yall with the bad shyt too nikka."


combine that with our longstanding bad faith stance of "we does work hard unlike them lazy yankees" to position ourselves as the good nigras and we had it coming b. @HarlemHottie & them ain't being unfair to us lord, it is actually the other way around. but in typical caribbean afro saxon fashion we take on the behaviors and attitudes of white folks & start gaslighting to evade the truth and accountability. we are a very, very, very, VERY dishonest & cowardly people collectively. nikkas are tired of the bullshyt b

As for Haitians in Louisiana. I doubt they went back to Haiti given that there were more opportunities in the states.

Many free black and Creoles would return to Haiti in the late 1859. Many former refugees had kept contact with Haitian relatives since the Haitian Revolution. Other had kept or formed business contacts that they used to help transition out of the increasing racism of the pre-Civil War South

Afaik, all black and poc communities grew out of already established ados communities. The Great Migration preceded the immigration act of 1965.

So, to answer your question, there's an ados core in queens and the bronx, but they cant outbreed immigration. The city brings in, legit, tens of thousands of poc immigrants/ yr.

This is by design. :usure:
Sis, outside of refugees, no city brings in people. People decide to migrate to that city. In some cases, raise a family or start a family. NY ain't looking at a spreadsheet-like we need 30k Haitians, 20k Ghanaians, etc.
