Some residents pointed to the success of immigrants from the West Indies and elsewhere as one reason for the shift in the borough. The earnings of foreign-born blacks outpaced the income of blacks born in the United States.

Now that is ironic...

Also ironic is that Manhattan is probably the bluest of NYC's five boroughs (counties), and that is where the income disparity is the greatest.

I lived in Queens for a while, and it was much more conservative (though still blue).
