Chicago poster here, for you New York people, where do all the black people live at in New York? I thought black people lived in Harlem, and Queens. I've read that Brooklyn got gentrified, but ok fine, where did all the black people that used to live in Brooklyn go? I know manhattan is for super rich, so race is out the discussion. Even if an area is gentrified, black people don't disappear. Where do they live now?
The End of Black Harlem
- Thread starter Responsible Allen Iverson
- Start date
No, Harlem is no longer majority Black
Why????!!! EVERYTHING THE AUTHOR SPITTING WAS TRUTH....
Because they either feel that gentrification is a good thing or that it's a natural thing that "just happens"

The results of not practicing group economics, Gentrification is coming to all black neighborhoods if we don't practice group economics.

Funny all these white people begrudging black people for being pushed out for the trendy white incomers, aint no white people moving into chinatown en masse.... Wonder why?!!? 
Aint no white people pushing out the jews in Brooklyn hard body like that...
Your money talks because you could afford it financially but those in power with their hooks in the politicians aint moving no matter how much money you have... and you wonder why the black people got a problem with the whites coming into the neighborhoods we've lived so long.

Black people have huge numbers in all boroughs. Everywhere isnt gentrified and everyone didnt leave the gentrified areas. In Brooklyn the demographs can change greatly from block to block. Some places are filled with hipsters while others look untouched. Willamsburg was never a black neighborhood and Brooklyn was never majorily black.
Harlem may be under 50% black but they still are the biggest group and a lot of people in Harlem are neither white nor black.

Harlem was 40% Black back in 2008. So since gentrification has continued, the number is even smaller now.
Yet Chinatown is getting gentrified too...

it's TOO LATE mane
i just spent the weekend travelin thru charleston , savannah and jacksonville... cause im seeking to purchase property
it's a gottdamn shame cause i loved living in the city limits when i was a freelance writer..but now i have to seek places way out in the suburbs aka "the country" like 30 miles out just to find something affordable for me and my family
and spots i use to know where you could get a two bedroom apartment for like 625 a month are now like 1,200 a month ....
particularly in downtown savannah....the home of "camoflauge" and the place where gucci mane first got put on ....
matter of fact Pure Pain studios the original home of camo and gucci is in the midst of a serious urban renewal...
because of that high end Art College there....where one semaster is like 20gs......
all those students are being catered to by the former slumlords who are now hiking up prices to capitilize on the out of state and forigen exchange students
i had a conversation with a lovely old black libarian who was like a mentor to me when i was at Savannah State.....
and she commented how they are shutting down all the rooming houses which were good places for those in transition, laborers, or people whom couldn't find affordable shelter of thier own....
turning these mofos into condos one by one....
and all the good black owned soul food spots are being replaced by smoothie and bike shops all for the students and tourists
a nicca can't even get a nice tapeup for your fade anymore...cause the barbershops can't afford the rent.......
i use to be able to go to downtown savannah and get a nice meal under 7 dollars....
from one of the diners or Krystal fast food restaurant...
now you got 5 star restaurants all over the place some with valet parking...
everything is so corporate and alternative to what was considered "urban" (black)
cameras on every street light...
so it's the same shyt different toilet
black folks HAD the opportunity to empower themselves politically and economically but failed to do so
savannah had more dope kingpins per capita than any other city in that area ..
Cause them cats sat on i-95 and had the port..so they had the import and the means to export with traffic coming daily..
yet none of these niccas took advantage of assimilating that "wealth" into legal means..like them italians and jews do
i remember the Miami Boyz tried to set up shop during the late 80s and got ran the fukk out
the jamaicans came in the 90's and got shot da fukk up
yet
....a bunch of hipster white folks with no GUNS..can come and rape an entire district cause NICCAS DON'T WORK AS A COLLECTIVE
and the irony of the situation is that the hipster art college i spoke of was actually started by money financed by a major GUN RUNNER who was WHITE
we ain't cursed...i think we just RETARDED
