Do you see a lot of impoverished people sitting alongside you at your favorite trendy restaurants in Harlem?
There is many low income people who can afford to live a middle class lifestyle in NYC through government subsidizes. I have seen many people living in the project who own a car and have the latest iphone.
Few restaurants in Harlem are what one might call "trendy," much as the real estate people try to sell with this. And as much as I realize that one of the low-intellect types here will now besiege us all with even more links and insistences that Red Rooster is "the" spot. Hey, help yourselves. I do not buy that you have been to Londel's because that actually isn't true. As is known by most people who are familiar with Londel's.
I won't try to convince you because at the end of the day, you have the right to espouse your opinion. I will however state that you know nothing about me, therefore your opinion is completely off the mark.

However, more importantly and assuming that others may be interested in more meaningful aspects of culture than you are, I will say that I do know for a fact that lots of low-income people visit the museums. They can because there is always a free night, and a few people are members - a really good deal with many benefits.
Yes, there are loads of low income people visiting the museums and frequenting free lectures at the Schomburg or the local library. Now back to reality, the sad truth is, most low income New Yorkers do not take advantage of free (or moderately priced) cultural events, especially, if it's not pertaining to urban/hip hop music.

Yes, there are. I know this for a fact and you do not.
There are relatively fewer lectures at the Schomburg in comparison to other venues. So your attempt at "reality effect" has backfired.
Not buying your claim about Londel's. It was an odd choice because while it did turn up right away with google as a Harlem restaurant, it is the last choice one might have made given your claim. This has nothing to do with "vibe" - and what was that "vibe," exactly ? - or anything else.

Keep in mind: You are responding to a person who stated, on another thread, that "black" people should "get over slavery" and do something with themselves, for example, move back down south.

Again, you know nothing about me. I dine at many different restaurants. When I'm in Harlem, I prefer Londels and Mobays.

No .... I am not making that up.
I never stated that black people should get over slavery, if you are going to quote me, use my exact words. For the record, I stated the following:
Black American people really need to expand their history beyond the transatlantic slave trade and understand that white men are not the original slave masters. The inconvenient truth is that the men who had a hand in jump starting that 400 years of oppression and selling your ancestors into bondage actually share your melanin. This history of black American people didn't start with the transatlantic slave trade....black men have been abusing and selling out black women and children long before that, and more to the point, they are still abusing black women today.

I don't believe anyone with intellect and/or knowledge of history would refute my statement. Study the Moors.
