Lol WE... PAVED THE WAY FOR THE HAITIANS!??!! LOLOLOL
this fukboi @Poitier always hatin on haitians when we as blacks got bigger issues to deal with
fuk man
imma slap u b
Yeah, I don't get it. They speak all this black unity shyt, but then they wanna have segregation among blacks because some are less fortunate than them, like they had a choice to be born rich or poor. No one asked for this shyt, but they still gotta play the hand they were dealt. You can't hate a motherfukker for wanting to eat. If you were in his shoes you'd wanna eat too. You lucked out at birth, they didn't. It's weird as fukk, because to all other races we're BLACK. Only amongst ourselves do we build walls. When Cubans come to miami, them muhhfukkas stick together and support each other. They always try to put each other on. shyt, you can get by in hialeah without speaking a lic of english. I find it weird that some of you would have a problem with Haitians when Cubans are rescued, brought here and given residence while they ship Haitians back. These be the same nikkas on that Africa tip too I swear y'all nikkas is confused.I'm not black nor am I haitian but it bothers me that some AA are bothered by this. Let my haitian brehs eat .
They speak all this black unity shyt
The irony is killing me.Why would anyone want unity with someone who decided to run away from their country?
The same nikkas getting mad that rich Black Americans live up under Cacs are excusing immigrants for running to White countries? Nah.
The irony is killing me.
I live in South Florida and yes there was plenty of tension and violence between AA's and Haitians but it's not really like that any more. We get along just fine (for the most part) down here. Almost every friend I have is Haitian. I think that both AA's and Haitians down here realized that killing each other and fighting was getting us no where.... Police and the state ate good off the AA vs Haitian "wars" down here it was sad.... I welcome those brothers and sisters here with open arms
EXCLUSIVE: Dominican voting bloc creates battleground pockets across traditionally black Harlem
Voting data shows more Latinos flocking to the polls throughout Hamilton Heights, Sugar Hill and Central Harlem. Experts warn uptown candidates not to ignore the emerging bloc.

New voting trends show uptown Dominicans flocking to the polls in increasing numbers.
It's the uptown version of the purple state.
Dominicans are gnawing away at the once-stable black power base as new voting trends show Latinos throughout upper Manhattan — and especially in Harlem’s emerging battleground pockets — are flocking to the polls in increasing numbers.
A rising number of Hispanics are registering to vote in neighborhoods that were traditionally dominated by black residents.
The shifts are painting a new political landscape north of W. 125th St. — in precincts that helped David Dinkins, Basil Paterson, Percy Sutton and Charles Rangel build New York’s first black political stronghold.
The contested districts — which encompass Hamilton Heights, Sugar Hill and the Harlem-Washington Heights border — could be the decisive factor in Rangel’s bid to serve a 23rd term in Congress, experts said.
“You have to pay attention to the Dominicans. It would be a mistake not to,” said veteran Democratic consultant Hank Sheinkopf.
“Dominicans have, in the past, not voted in great numbers. But in recent years their turnout has increased. Dominicans are increasing in power. They are more rooted. African-Americans are declining in numbers.”
Blacks are leaving the city’s historically African-American neighborhoods in droves.
VIOREL FLORESCU/FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWSState Senator Adriano Espaillat (D-Washington Heights) is planning a rematch run against Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) .
Harlem and Washington Heights lost 16% of their black population since 2000, the most recent city census numbers showed. But the rates were even more startling in Hamilton Heights and West Harlem, which recorded a 25% loss.
Sugar Hill and its surrounding pockets saw the Latino population climb by 58%.
“The Dominican vote has been a growing segment for Northern Manhattan,” said political consultant Jerry Skurnik, who crunched a decade’s worth of voting stats to illustrate the trend. “No candidate can afford to ignore them.”
This generation of Harlem Latinos is flexing its civic muscle more than in years past. Among Democrats who registered to vote there within last decade, nearly one-third are Hispanic.
And Latino voters are boosting their numbers at the polls. In Hamilton Heights, voters with Hispanic surnames nearly tripled their turnout over the last three congressional election cycles, according to data culled by Skurnik.
In the last three citywide races, their participation rose by 19%.
“They are one of the most energetic and responsive communities that I have run across in my life,” said Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who represented Washington Heights in the state Senate for eight years.
MARIELA LOMBARD/FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWSRep. Charles Rangel wants to serve a 23rd term in Congress.
The numbers seem clear enough, but they didn’t ruffle Rangel or his presumptive opponent, Dominican state Sen. Adriano Espaillat (D-Washington Heights), who came within less than 1,000 votes of toppling Rangel in 2012.
“Congressman Rangel will keep fighting for the interests of the Dominican community and every community in the 13th District,” said campaign spokesman James Freedland, noting that the district is also home to Puerto Ricans, Jews and West Africans.
Espaillat said his focus was on issues — not on the area’s ethnic composition.
“We’re all facing the same economic challenges, and need to fight for our needs with one voice,” Espaillat said.
The evolving dynamics mirror a broader trend uptown, where lifelong politicos are finding it impossible to ignore the newcomers and have begun to forge fresh alliances.
“The tension isn’t racial. If there is tension, it’s purely political,” said Assemblyman Keith Wright, the Manhattan Democratic Party boss, of the calcifying Dominican bloc in Harlem.
“It’s those folks who are helping one candidate over another,” he added. “That’s the natural order of political races.”
Yea man, I know niccas are gonna deny that zoes were getting jumped for wearing "church" clothes to school, speaking differently, the "yall eat cats" thing ect.... My pops didnt play that, he taught us to never treat ppl like that. Zoe's went though that for years then bossed up and now niccas respect that... Sometimes in poor communities violence is the only way to gain respectsame here in new york a matter of fact it use to be everyone against the hatians and also between AA and islanders in general but that shyt died down over the years and in some places you can't even tell who's who unless someone tells you. that faq from ATL just talking out his ass as usual.
Yes dumb nikka
Black Americans, stop letting people come into our hoods, even if they have black skin. Look at what happened in Harlem.
