    If your not aware,Black people are moving out of NYC in record numbers. This article even speaks on the fact that the energy that Black Americans bring has disappeared in New York City. The vibe is gone. The cost of living coupled with an endless influx of immigrants has made place in the mid-west & in the south major destinations for these ex-New Yorkers. This also sheds light on why New York Hip-Hop is by all means dead. There's no one left to pass the torch to. There's no one left to keep the feeling alive. In a few decades places like Harlem & Bed Stuy will be gone & forgotten. Don't be missed on the fact that there's a Black mayor in NYC watching this occur.
    R.I.P. to Black New York.

    They're clearing us out of everywhere. The USA is officially done with Black Americans.

    We helped them do it us unfortunately. 400 years of white supremacy making us feel we aren't worth it about ourselves and wanting white validation. We are literally the only group who try to live next to white folks to feel like we made it. Asians don't give a f*ck about that. If they are in a white area, its strategic. We do it for clout.

    Record numbers of Blacks have moved out of Chicago and LA as well. I am still scratching my head how anyone can afford to live in NYC.

    I have a friend who got 200k a year job in Manhattan. His wife (no kids) can easily find a 70k or more job there, master's degree. They are from Florida originally.

    He said he looked at rent prices and after calculating take home pay had to rent in New Jersey if he wanted to have any decent amount left to save and/or invest.

    After 6 months they are looking at jobs in other states.

    Blacks didn't survive as community in NYC because we are one of the only communities that don't act as a group. Italians in Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, who own homes pass them down to their kids or to other Italians. The Hasidic jews in Williamsburg, Brooklyn who own homes will either pass it down to their kids or only sell to other Hasidic jews. Not even other non Hasidic jews can buy in.

    Chinatown NYC, has a community organization that will buy the property there if you want to sell and don't have kids and to keep it in Chinese owned hands.

    Black people who own homes in NYC will openly and willingly sell to gentrifiers. Even Latinos look out for each other more. Blacks leaving NYC and not having a base there is our own fault as a community. I can't remember the politicians name but a black politican in Harlem a while back, many years ago, openly said he wanted Harlem to look demographically different.

    Imagine being so self-hating that you boastfully aid in your erasure and proudly want you and your people's erasure because you want unity with and proximity to other groups that couldn't care less if you and yours live or die tomorrow.

    What good is a hand few of Black people being economically well-off going to do for Black people as a collective group if they don't own anything and anything can get taken from them at any time as they continue to give away their wealth and assets to others?

    If something drastic were to ever happen and they aren't able to rely on Black community because most are too economically deprived to help and the other few who are able to help are selfish (esp. when it comes to other Black people), then they would have to rely on the racist dominant society that will do everything it can to give them little to no resources and to starve them out of existence.

    Too many Black people think of Black empowerment as just religious empowerment, community volunteer work (ex: youth outreach programs, basic street cleanup, basic giveaways or basic events), speaking out against "Black on Black crime", living vicariously through successful Black people such as Beyonce and Jay-Z or the Obamas, merely enriching themselves and their own immediate family or their circle of friends (including non-Blacks), and empowering everybody (including non-Blacks).

    The only few Black groups who seem to have some sort of code are certain Black immigrants (ex: Nigerians only helping and looking out for other Nigerians) and certain Black churches (ex: regular Black church members prioritizing other regular Black church members over other Black people). But even then, non-Blacks (especially whites or Latinos) don't have to prove themselves that they are worthy to get want they want out of those Black people either.

    The community building, mass codification, punishment for off-code behavior and treason, emphasis on the importance of families and maintaining legacy and generational wealth, emphasis on the importance of moving as a unit, emphasis on dating and procreating and marrying within your ethnic group or race, emphasis on community protection, preserving of our cultures and heritage and people, rejection of foreign outsiders and colonizers and other threats, building of economies that we own and control, self-love, and knowing and looking one another across the board is missing.

    I keep it one buck all around, so I will also put a certain part on the blame on the high black Caribbean population in NYC who will sell to a white boy with no qualms about the neighborhood, even if the neighborhood is Caribbean like Flatbush. Flatbush used to be predominantly Caribbean blacks. Homes, businesses, etc and they sold out to gentrifiers. FBAs in Harlem sold out to latinos mostly and since the 00s white boys. It was Harlem movers and shakers that talked Bill Clinton into moving his office to Harlem in hopes of showing white businesses its safe to move up there.

    A lot of people don't know this but there is an Italian area of Harlem, in east Harlem. John Gotti was born in Harlem, believe it or not. Anyway, the Italians that moved there were recent arrivals who couldn't afford Little Italy and other Italian enclaves because the prices had gone up. Blacks let them live in east Harlem and these same Italians turned around and formed mafia groups to take over the numbers and drugs in black Harlem.

    NYC has not been safe in decades. I really hope this inspires black families to take up less populated cities and build they own foundation. While everyone is focused on these LGBT issues and other BS, people need to make their moves. Find out which states have cheap land and come together and form save havens for black families that prioritize hard work, family love, and togetherness. If the thugs and hood rats wanna keep living that lifestyle and stay in the cities, let them.

    NYC will be fine. It's too big and important globally for it not to be. The only thing that will change are the demographics. There are a handful of global cities that are always going to be relevant. They may fall on hard times, just like any city or country but they aren't going to die off.

    NYC along with London, Tokyo, Paris and a few others will always be relevant.

    That being said, we as a community may not be there in any large numbers but the city itself will be as a relevant force.
