It’s not quite Chocolate City, but recent election wins by African-American politicians has the Big Apple on the verge of being the hub of black power.

Not only is the nation’s largest city poised to elect its second African-American mayor and its first African-American district attorney, New York City’s new (b)lack power surge has already made significant inroads in state government and may soon even shake up the halls of Congress.

And that’s just on the surface. Behind the scenes is a slate of party bosses, city council members and energized voters ready to usher in a new day for New York’s long-suffering (b)lack community.

“There is no question we are living in a golden age of (b)lack political power,” said Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), a freshman congressman from the Bronx, who is part of the city’s new political wave of influence. […]

What kind of leadership should New Yorkers expect from Adams? (Political consultant Charlie) King has two surprising words: Ed Koch. …

[Olog-hai]

Sure; such great things out of a demagogue who praised Farrakhan.

[Jonty30]

Never fear, it will be as well run as any other black led city.

Never fear, but get out while you can.

[MinorityRepublican]

At least their future mayor Eric Adams was a former cop. Let’s hope he was a good one, not a crooked cop who took bribes.

[Islander7]

NYC is on the road to becoming the next Chicago.

[Olog-hai]

Guess you didn’t read the part where I mentioned Adams openly praised Farrakhan.

[Hieronymus]

Consider reading your tagline, and then reflecting on why Adams might have heaped praise where he did.

An honest cop is one thing, but for politicians, “honest” assumes a much lower standard. The man was attempting to win a DEMOCRATIC primary.

No....Chicago has beautiful tree lined streets and flower beds along all the sidewalks.....plus REAL PALM TREES at the BEACH in the summer!!

[JonPreston]

NYC is a total s’house but at least it isn’t a racist one.

[RichyTea]

FYI

As per By Chandelis Duster, CNN, November 24, 2020

David Dinkins, New York’s first Black mayor, dies at 93

[joma89]

More black supremacy openly showing itself with the support (not condemnation) from democrat party media.

[newfreep]

NYC will soon look like South Africa...

[Candor7]

New York City has becme a complete lefty Dem plantation?

So now the Dems have enough slaves to use as cannon fodder?

It will not end well.

Well trees are better cover than street signs when the bullets start flying.

[Renkluaf]

Here comes Baltimore.

[KevinB]

As rich white taxpayers flee in droves.

[americas.best.days...]

I say bravo to this.

I can think of no other city more deserving of the integrity and intellectually capable leadership qualities inherent in an all black governing body.

It’s about time!!

[DownInFlames]

Worse than Chicago.

Yup.

Name one place where this didn’t happen.

[euram]

Soon, NYC will rank right up there with Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Haiti, South Africa, Congo, and other thriving black-run places.
