They're not black.

Yes they are black. If that’s the case I guess you also think Louisiana Creoles and Trinidadians aren’t black either?

Black is a race. And some black Americans really think black is being American. Which is ignorant.

What does your post have anything to do with what I said about black being a race?

You’re all over the place plus I’m very familiar with Guadeloupe. The people there will tell you they are Guadeloupian first before anything else.

@intruder v6.1 And how did that lead to your VI, Guadeloupe and Martinique rant?

VI people for the record almost never claim America btw!

Absolutely. Some parts of suffolk were marketed like that as early as the 1920s (ie Gordon heights).

About half of the folks in my neighborhood came straight from the south. I know some folks who came here in the 60s from NC and said it reminded them of home. The other half were those whose folks migrated from the south to NYC first, then moved out to Suffolk in the 60s and 70s. There's some other dynamics at play too, like employment opportunities at all the state mental institutions.
I do believe that some blacks came up here as seasonal migrant workers for some of the larger farms on the east end and wound up just staying.

And then of course there was small black communities that just always existed as early as the late 1800s.

That's interesting. I'd imagine going out that way and encountering a bunch of black folks with southern accents, in the middle of Long Island.

Back in the day, most likely. I had a few friends who 1st gen northerners. My Queens cousins would always say people sounded country when they came to visit. Nowadays, not as much.

However, people behave and dress like they never stepped out the zip code

And the community is slowly turning hispanic...

This sad video. Growing up in the early 90s, it was THE major event of the start of summer.

I remember back in the days when Main Street in Hempstead was all black. Now it’s little El Salvador.
