West Indians don't get along with black americans, you realize how often things like this happens in white clubs

If white people knew about the massive tribalism between blacks based on country of origin, it would blow their minds

Yeah you beat me to it on both comments. The links he provided didn’t prove that most blacks in the NYC area were immigrants.

yup, someone else made that claim in another thread. most of the black persons i know from n.y.c. have african-american roots. most of my family and friends in montreal, boston, miami parents come from caribbean, cap-verde, ...

maybe because n.y.c. has a lot of everything, the perception is that its mostly immagrants ?

Well it’s the root. Don’t expect anything not annoying on there.

^ yeah, i agree... especially weird were the louis farrakhan and malcolm x references who are actually from boston ?
a lot of the comments were pointing out that its nothing like that now and we tend to reminisce on the past with rose colored glasses.


heres another one about birmingham, al:

all these opinions seem to amplify the positives and minimize the negatives.
