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

Anybody know why this has suddenly gone viral recently? The full video on youtube was uploaded in 2013.

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
shyt happened in 1978 but this was hard to believe this shyt happened in NY. I expect the cacs down south to act like this but damn...this is what was waiting for black folk at the other end of the Underground Railroad :mad:



Not going to run anymore? The area is 80% black today lol.

Cacs lost lol

This is not hard to believe tho. Italians in NYC have a long history of racism.

White flight is real. All it takes is one black family to move in a neighborhood and if they can't run that family out they'll move.

Damn. History sometimes makes you think it was so long ago.

Glad they stood up to some shyt.

The little kid shouting “NONOOOO”. I didn’t even realise he was saying the n-word until he went right next to the girl. White people are justly bullies and don’t do shyt except in groups

Also, why in the early days, everyone’s voices are so high pitched?

This happens in EVERY region. White people love to pretend racism ended when MLK died and that it only exists in the south.

Yea I also don’t know when the suburban boom ended but most of these Italians would pick up and move to Long Island.

These days Italian neighborhoods are being taken over by the Chinese so their bigoted minds are more concerned about them.

I’ve cross paths with many Italians and they are probably the most segregated group I know.

They do not like to live with anyone. They like their neighborhoods to be exclusively for them.

I recall reading about an Italian kid bombing two real estate offices in Canarsie, Brooklyn back in the late 80s. Canarsie is 80% black today.

Makes sense cause the black ghettos were too blighted and in the middle of a heron epidemic, NYC meltdown financial crisis and later the crack epidemic. A middle class family wasn’t about to raise their child in Harlem, The South Bronx,Bed Stuy, Flatbush or Jamaica.

Blacks were getting money at the time so the only place to move where they could raise a family comfortably was the Suburban looking NYC hoods that were mainly Italian.

I didn't see that thread and look at the date Jeffrey Wright tweeted it. I just seen this shyt today.

Nah I think you’re good. The last thread only showed the last clip of the little girls. Not the beginning clip.

It’s funny driving to 243rd Street in Rosedale today and seeing all the Caribbean businesses line up the street.

Italians lost lol.

Truth be told a lot of blacks that move to white neighborhoods have the :mjpls:when they see another black family move in the neighborhood because they don't want the neighborhood to turn all black since that's what they was running from in the first place.
