Don't mind me, just wanted to say best of luck and good wishes for your family in your time of trouble.

I do business with Black people in New York all the time. I don’t need to depend on you for the northern Black experience and thank god I do not.

I’d be embarrassed to admit my family lived near Malcolm X and you’re still that damn ignorant.

You don’t own the northern black experience either.
Kind of sad that once I disagree with you then you become irrational. People can give their personal experiences when discussing issues and I appreciate them as I’m sure everyone else does too.

You never say what it was like growing up where you did like some others do. I was telling you my area where I grew up. During the 40’s and 50’s Roxbury became majority Black as the Second Great Migration took place. White people like my family still lived there until the 70s when it got crazy.

There were massive low income housing projects. Roxbury was predominantly Black, South Boston and Charlestown were White residents. The 70s a judge ordered bussing due to neighborhoods being so segregated. This is when the White people on South Boston and Charlestown showed their true colors, although most knew already.
South Boston was an insulated area of Boston where these White people thought living in public housing was their birthright. They threw rocks at the bus, bananas at the kids. This was an ugly chapter in the North

Where is this email. Please message it to me.

No, African Americans are not Caucasians. But yes, DeSantis IS an idiot.
