glad you some of your best mates are Caribbean otherwise I would start to wonder about the tinge of racial animosity in your question. Anytime you have a large swath of new yorkers coming together across economic backgrounds the recipe for aggression and its byproduct of violence exist. Having done all of the major parades - PR during the high street harassment days, St. Pat's during the drunken chaos days, Gay Pride is frolicking run amok days, and jouvet/west indies day parade - there isn't any more or less violence than any of the others just more coverage by media of it (arguably because the police interactions are different around it). Honestly the SantaCon I see more physical violence around that which is daunting cause it starts early morning through the night and there is no cornered off 'route' for it. While I love (love) explaining to my nieces and nephews every year why santa/elves/reindeer are peeing openly and fighting -- i kinda realize it is a matter of time before there is gun play.
Homeboy. I don't need a fake news lecture on which parades are violent and which aren't. I'm born/bred in NYC. Seen it all. Don't tell me that puke violence on st paddy's day is the same as gunshots fired at Juvet. And a coming together of NYers with various backgrounds doesn't mean you shoot em up!
Now, answer the fkn question I asked. Why is it that BLACK Americans can't get along with the lovely blacks from the Caribbean? I've heard from the Caribbean side since I know plenty of them, so now I want to hear from the NY homies.
Let’s all just relax, have a sip of coffee, inhale and exhale a few times and wish our Caribbean brothers and sisters a safe and peaceful celebration.
