thats what i said...MOST black people in the city live in Harlem and further uptown but there is still a very, very good amount of black people (including PR/DR) in the UWS.
There are many rent stabilized apts/affordable housing/project buildings in the UWS.
I pass by them literally all the time. They’re not even hidden. Some sit right along Columbus and Amsterdam Aves. There’s a fukking project building three blocks from Lincoln Center
you went to law school and the first time you seen someone snorting coke was after law school?
what do you do now?
My children are home schooled.
Can’t be mad at the parents, neither. If someone were to force me to bring a child into my home that underperformed or risked my children’s quality of education, I would be opposed to it too. Fix the schools that the children are underperforming in first. Fix the broken homes, too.
I work in education law & labor law.
My last case as a prosecutor was a young black man from Fort Greene - where I grew up. He robbed a woman on her way to Brooklyn Hospital. Threw her down, took her Iphone.
Long story short, he was caught 15 minutes after police were called because he was in the lobby of Ingersol Projects and the phone had the "Find my Iphone app".
He couldn't take a lower plea because he had a criminal possession of a weapon conviction already so the lowest I was able to offer was 7 years.
Went to trial, got the conviction and on the sentencing date, the judge hit him w/ 10 years. His whole fukking 20s he'll be in. I had so many mixed feelings about the whole thing.
I looked over at the breh and NEVER in a condescending way, I looked at him to try to read him. He looked at me and no lie, it was like he knew I was asking "How did you get to this point?". He looked at me with a
look and I knew he was saying, "I really don't know. I don't know."After you get a trial conviction, everyone is congratulating you and high fiving and shyt... I never did that. No one wins in these situations in my perspective because I identified with almost every defendant that came into my case list.
I went into the bathroom and looked at myself and teared up a little - no shame. I knew that he had been failed by society, the fukked up public education system, NYCHA, and damn near every other municipality in NYC.
That case was one of the many personal accounts that I have while I was a Black Brooklyn Prosecutor that opened my eyes to how dysfunctional our system is.
Now, I would in Education and I fight in legal hearings against the teachers in the public schools that show terrible evaluations indicating they don't give a fukk about the black and hispanic students. I'm trying to improve the institutions that fail our people which sends them on that trajectory towards the criminal system.
I've got ALOT of stories about my time in the Criminal Justice system - I plan to write a book on it.
I wasn't hanging with the white kids like that while I was in law school so...
i'm in law school rn and it ain't just white kids on that breh
Although I am very aware that young people of any race from upper class families are more exposed to those type of drugs, many of the Black Law Students were like me - came from lower middle class and only fukked w/ weed & alcohol as their main drugs.
You said there really aren’t many black people in UWS and I’m telling you there is.
I see them sitting on their stoops, the kids bike riding in packs of 50+, on the street corner talking shyt, in front of the laundromat playing dominos and smoking black and milds. You see them more in the summer cause everyone’s not locked away.
Black people are very visible and the only people who would say otherwise are the rich people who try to avoid us anyway.
You’re prolly right
standardized tests aren't a measure of intelligence they are about knowing how to game them. Most black families don't have the money to get their kids tutors to learn to game the tests.
You know that doesn’t mean they live there or their kids go to school there right?
You see a lot of black people all over Manhattan that doesn’t mean they live there
Why are you arguing this the numbers support me
?
