“ The Lenape Indians or the Dutch? ”

Harlem isn’t named after a place in Africa.....

AOCs district.

No, the event was in Harlem which is not in her gerrymandered district.

Ahhhhhh. Can’t have “The MAN gentrifying their nabes”! Most of them leftist, WHITE hipsters.

Pass the popcorn.

[blueplum]

there was no ‘brown’ community 30 years ago, was there? It seems more an artificial construct that has been and will continue to be to the detriment of American-heritage black folk, whose relevancy is getting lost in the sea of immigrants who do not share the American experience.

oh yeah, I forgot...”and we don’t want the irish”

[stylin19a]

hey...how’d you do that?

[Ouchthatonehurt]

I’m pretty sure New York is all Italians and Puerto Ricans...

[SunkenCiv]

Heh heh... pretty neat, eh? Check your FReepmail.

More evidence that lefties accusing of us fascist style nationalism, racism and xenophobia is mere projection. We don't think of these things hour by hour, but the left does, which is why their accusations are packed with these things.

It's similar to Silence of Lambs: What do you covet? you covet what's near.

With the left it's 'what's something good to accuse your enemy of since you can't fight on the merits?' ... what's near-at-mind, what comes up first.

I’ll make him glad with my preventative measure — Brooklyn is way at the bottom of my list of places I would want to live in the United States. Indiana is fine, thanks.

“New York City belongs to the people that was here and made New York City what it is.”

Put 'em back.....the way they was. 🎶

... or for Puerto Rican’s to to return to that benighted island.

Dogpatch, USA

[Jane Long]

:-)

Truth be told....MANY hard working NYers have left the state for places like....Dogpatch USA.

He’s perfectly fine with Middle Easterners and Central Americans moving in, to take their place, I’m sure.

I wonder if Eric also includes newly arrived illegals. They’re taking jobs that locals used to do.

When I left the NYC area over 30 years ago:
You can go to Hell, I will go to Texas!

Harlem isn’t named after a place in Africa.....

Haarlem, Holland

[dfwgator]

Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam.

[aquila48]

Eric...

[Fiji Hill]

Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam.

Why they changed it, I can't say.
People just liked it better that way.
