By the mid-1970s, Black middle-class families were moving into the all-white hoods. Tensions rose!

Nice try nikka you exposed yoself.

Notice how most tha ny posters itt save for @HarlemHottie are ignoring this racist ass bullshyt, straight like it ain't even happened.


For all nyers here if y'all ain't aware shyt like this a damn big reason y'all city is such an easy target to be roasted on.

Seems y'all picked up more from y'all racist neighbors than y'all would like to admit.

When gentrification was hitting NYC hard back in the mid 00s southern folks saw it as comedy. Their southern brothers didn’t check them on that either. Now gentrification is only a hot topic because it spread down south.

New Yorkers always have to put New Yorkers on check but southerners get to team up and support each other when its time to roast NY or any other region.

I’ve noticed this hypocrisy for a long long time.

c00ns have no territory. Most of the black folks on FOX talking shyt are from The South.

Something tells me if these c00ns on TV were mostly New Yorkers they would be receiving much more attention from the coli.

I'd say up to 2009. Cacs came in heavy after that.

By 09 it was already complete...trust

No...no it wasn't. I'm saying this from experience. There were still cacs getting hemmed up in front of their apts.

Ride your experience into the sunset. By 09 property value was insane, the infrastructure was in place & whitey had already sewn up several predominantly blk sections within the city. Had you have said 04 you would have had something

It's a mixed neighborhood. Definitely not full of professionals. There's a lot of derelicts out there trying to be something they're not. My grandfather has owned his home out there since 88.

I wouldn’t call it mixed. It’s 80% black and a significant portion of the rest is Hispanic with Indo-Guyanese folks.

I was referring to professional when mixed was said. I should have been clearer.

There were still sections of Brooklyn that had predominantly Black property ownership. Crown heights and large section of prospect heights. I worked in RE, I've rented for landlords in these areas. They were majority black out side of big prewar building owners.

 

[killacal]

What even more spooky is Rosedale is mainly black today. Strange

Not really
Cacs saw blacks more capable than them coming in and they tried to war with them because white people can't compete on a fair scale.

White men couldn't get jobs over recently freed slaves and created unions to box them out

Same shyt different toilet

To this day there are parts of Brooklyn that went unbothered

Bville
Eny
Flatbush

Whitey wasn’t interested in mass. Other places were sieged early on

Bushwick
Clinton Hill
Bedstuy
Ft Greene

Crown Heights & Redhook got into full swing in the 10s based on my observations

That's the area I was in CH. Prospect heights and the surrounding areas didn't turn fully till the 10's.

Who the fuk is “y’all” ?? I see that you lost your mind when you changed your username , persona change too huh??

Not my fault that you felt the need to bring whatever southern projections that you have about “the north”
Into a thread that had nothing to do with that in the first place.

Ain't shyt changed about me. You not finna gaslight me like I'm imagining things just cause I'm saying some shyt you don't wanna hear--i call shyt like i see shyt, and if what i see is I'm gonna say something about it & ion care how anybody feels. All this talk of 'southern projections'-- whatever tha hell that's supposed to mean--sounds like deflections of what's plain to see. Don't stick your head in tha sand, that's hoogie behavior.

Let's not pretend like what ol boy said is something new and unheard of and ima break it down for you. Attitudes towards us have been like this since tha great migration and it ain't just new york though y'all one of tha main culprits. Southern black folk looking for opportunities and a reprieve from jim crow oppression in tha north only to be met with condescension from northern black folk assimilated to tha urban white man's sensibilities and 'sophistication', worried tht we were gonna fukk up their slice of tha white man's pie. Looked down on us cuz we reminded them of what was valued least in tha world they occupied and it hurt them to be reminded that what they looked down on us for could be found in themselves beyond all of what generations of city living has done to groom them to appease tha tastes of white folk. Some real willie lynch shyt.

Naturally as tha southern black folk that originally migrated acquiesced to their environment through tha generations they took on tha northerners attitudes towards tha kin they left behind. Then when caribbean immigrants came in tha picture, from a place of ignorance as it pertained to aa's and our culture, only being fed tha image of us mainstream cac media put out, they adopted tha same attitudes as well, with those who supposedly knew and know bettter too apathetic to check them on it. That's why I say y'all, and that's why i see all this new shyt about ny being a target for roasting as just chickens coming home to roost. And even then it ain't shyt really, just some shyt you see online.

All the middle class black neighborhoods in NYC had to go through Italian racist. We were getting money and moving into their neighborhoods.

Rosedale is a thriving black community now that’s 80% black.

Wasn't just Italian, Jews did it too, but they did it the "nice" way

My mother said when she moved to Flatbush from the south, she noticed the realtor would send her to the black side, and it wasn't as nice as where the whites lived, but when she confronted him about it, he didn't want to look racist, so he showed her a nice new building.

If you look at Flatbush, most whites live in Ditmas Park, and midwood, with the nice houses, and most blacks live in the apartments, or more "regular" looking houses. I thought it was just about money, but from the stories my mother tells me, Flatbush had racism in the 60's-early 80's. I wouldn't doubt a lot of those people were led there. It just wasn't in your face a lot of times, but she was from the south, and new racism when she saw it.

I remember going into an Italian restaurant with her when i was young, and whites still had the Junction on lock, when we walked in the place EVERYONE looked at us crazy. We sat down for a couple of minutes, and got out of there. "White flight" is why all these white neighborhoods turned black. The good is it gave blacks access to nice houses, especially Caribbeans who flooded the area in the mid 80's. The bad is because blacks have to live around each other regardless of income, even the nice areas are not that far from the fukked up areas. Whites can have nothing but nice areas, and the people just deal with each other in productive ways WITH help from the state. We can't because we are all lumped together, especially if you live in a major city. That means all of us will be shytted on, eventually.

Jews are nice racist they won’t normally attack you.

As for Midwood the neighborhood I grew up in.

Russians, South Asians and now Mexicans now mostly live in the apartment buildings while Jews live in all the nice houses.

I actually was born in a Victorian on Farragut and east 24th. Thankfully most of those Victorian hoods east of Ditmas Park are mostly owned by blacks.

Those blacks invading Queens were middle class successful blacks who didn’t want to live in Harlem.

Did you see Harlem in the 70s? What well prosperous person would want their well to do family exposed to that?



Italians think that the American Dream only involves them. The blacks in Harlem are more American than them by a long shot.

That was the bad parts, though. I remember certain parts were real nice.

Like I said in my previous post, because we are black we are all lumped together. You were taking a chance living around whites back then. They could be racists, and get away with it. Those who were silent racists, just took their money, and went other places, that meant the only people to help keep the neighborhood nice were the blacks who had a little bit of money, but the problem with that is, those people are not in a large number, and the money isn't equivalent to the whites. Hence, the saying when blacks move in the neighborhood goes down. Its not because we are foul people, its because the game has been rigged since the beginning! If you don't study history you won't know this, and really think its something wrong with black people as a whole.

Or you would think you got those things because you worked hard, not realizing it was a moment in time that gave you that opportunity. If you notice all those neighborhoods in Brooklyn that turned black, happened right after the civil rights movement, and Affirmative Action still allowed some blacks to be tokens, especially in the north. Once the 90's came, and people started abusing Affrimative action for their own benefit, while excluding blacks, you never hear the story anymore. Its all about timing, and opportunity, very little is about hard work, and being good with money. We want to believe that because most of us don't want to fight, but it was like this even in the 60's! It was the few who fought for us, that made our lives better, it wasn't the majority, they thought hard work would change things. The black middle class were a complete joke prior to the civil rights movement, their thinking would have us still in Jim Crow. The sad part is that thinking still prevails to this day!

I wouldn’t call it mixed. It’s 80% black and a significant portion of the rest is Hispanic with Indo-Guyanese folks.

Only 9% Hispanic, with some of that being Afro-Panamanians I bet.

Going across Hook Creek Blvd, there's an immediate change in vibe because Valley Stream is filled with Central Americans (and has a lots of white people, mostly in the Southern part I think)
