Yes. Some of the people in the North speak Somali.

Some majority-Asian neighborhoods are great, but if you don't think they've "ruined" Bensonhurst, you're delusional.

On the other hand, I think they're improving Sunset Park and Flushing.

I said to a guy that next weekend i'm heading down to Bensonhurst to enjoy the authentic american-italian atmosphere and great cuisine. He said that if you are fond of spring rolls and rice that's the place to be right now.

I'd laugh it wasn't so true/sad.

Bensonhurst is still decent during the festivals, but other than that, it's a shell of its former self.

That's how it is with every neighborhood man, nothing stays the same. Some of those great communities just can't be re-created after the core has moved on

[/quote]Black is not a race. It is a social construct.
Africans, African Americans (Afro Americans) and Afro Caribbeans all have different culture, language/dialects.
African/Afro Americans and Afro Caribbeans are probably closest in terms of their racial background (primarily African, some Euro, minor Native American). [/quote]


every race is a social construct then? BS
