Peezo you sound very delusional and emotional. What will most likely happen is a strong decline in unemployment, welfare abuse, homicide, subway begging, and quality-of-life should rise
What a racist thread. Honestly though? Rents will skyrocket even more as more and more people who were afraid of a little color will finally feel it's safe enough to bankroll their precious little breadknots' apartments. barf.

What makes it racist? Just honest observations and input. No need to go all PC

Unemployment: most don't have the skills to qualify speaking upon the youth. Welfare abuse:We need that out of our system. Homicide: truly speaking we are creating our own genocide killing our own Word List: 'cide' Words for Killers and Killing Subway begging: this goes both ways. I know the world is not perfect but we can't blame others for short comings but ourselves.
There are huge swaths of NYC still where you can see almost nothing but black people. It's like this in St. Albans where I wait for the Q3 bus to go to my job.
Overall I don't think black people are going anywhere. Even a lot of West Indians immigrants even are homeowners.
Of course a lot of mostly black neighborhoods will see increasing numbers of non-black residents (as many already do).
But Black political power will almost certainly continue to dwindle. People in my circle, at least, don't think there will be a black mayor again in the next few decades. A Hispanic or Asian one maybe, but David Dinkins will probably be the only black mayor in our lifetimes. Of course there are still black DAs, and that trend is likely to continue. But other than that black New York will continues to lose political power, often to Latinos (as was the case with Rangel and Espillat).
Some other House and state legislative seats will likely always be held by black politicians. But citywide and in city offices, I think black political power will continue to fall while Hispanic and Asian influence keeps rising, along with the population of those ethnic groups.

I wonder for how much longer the Hispanic population will increase. I read a report, granted it was from 2011 IIRC, that went into detail about things like homeowner rates among immigrant groups in NYC. Only 3.9% of Mexican immigrants owned their homes, and I believe 7% of Dominican immigrants. South American groups did better with this but still not that great.
If those numbers don't improve, it will be tough for them to maintain a presence indefinitely as rents continue to rise.
