"Where are Black (capital b) people located in NYC?"


  

          


By Black I mean having a direct connection to antebellum/US Slavery

For a variety of reasons this is a hard question to properly ask, but its something I've been thinking about. I see lots of people who are a part of the diaspora but I cannot ID the areas where the bend is (for lack of a better word) uniquely "African American" (tricky word in NYC considering the number of actual Africans here)


I guess I wanna know where the Black (capital b) people at who've been in NY for generations? I can ID areas where Caribbean cats are, I can ID areas where Africans are but I cant ID an area where capital B Black people are....is it (was it) Harlem? or......


shit does this shit even make sense anymore? This is what Im talking about, the more I think about it, the more it kinda falls apart


anyway, if you know what I mean, help, If i was super ignorant about the question, please teach.
