Members access the space, located in Central Brooklyn, by having their fingers scanned and giving a passcode. Upon entering, they find a lounge, complete with couches, a barber chair and books on finance. The spiral staircase leads to an area with workstations.
Inside on a recent day, a man who works as a consultant helped five others get businesses certified. Another launched a campaign to run for City Council, engaging members to assist in outreach. An author presented research in a forum. The Gentlemen’s Factory brought them all together.
As one of the very few spaces in New York City exclusively for men of color, The Gentlemen’s Factory began as a middle ground between work and home for men who need a venue for networking and socializing.
“They’re going through a divorce, or they have mental health challenges, or they’re going on an interview but they don’t know how to ask for a salary increase,” said Jeff Lindor, the club’s founder. “There wasn’t an outlet for them to be.”
Mr. Lindor, clad in a custom-made Prince James suit (the designer is a Gentlemen’s Factory member) noted that members contribute to making the space their own, whether it’s the Malcolm X art above the leather sofa or the magazines near the coffee table.
Born in Petit-Goâve, Haiti, Mr. Lindor was raised in a Coney Island housing project. The son of non-English speaking immigrants, Mr. Lindor and his family were wedged between a wealthy, white community on one end of the neighborhood and an impoverished and predominantly black population on the other. He asked himself: Why does my community look like this? Why does blackness look like this?

Hilarious
Wow! When I was a kid “Colored Only” meant something quite different...yet held a certain similarity.
All these idiots on the left still trying to make racing issue were fighting a losing battle
I will say loud and clear there is no such thing as race anymore
However there is sex - there are two of them
In Silicon Valley, all the immigrants segregate themselves. It’s created a horrendous civic place. All the Indians congregate; the Chinese congregate; the Afghanis congregate. Nobody mixes. They all chatter in their native languages. The Chinese all run Mandarin classes for their kids after school, perpetuating the segregation. Civic life as we knew it a few years ago is largely dead. It is awful.
funny how they themselves are segregating themselves for “us”.
White folk “THE MAJORITY IN THIS COUNTRY” are not to have something that’s seen as exclusive to themselves it must be diversified, gender neutral, all inclusive and open for change in order to be acceptable by those minorities who are uhauled by this notion. If their demands are not met it will be eliminated, banned, labeled racist, and run out of town. One question, Why are we putting up with this garbage
Africa. The Islands. Wakanda. Wherever. Just GTFO, please.
“Nobody mixes”
Not true.
I thought the leftists outlawed men’s clubs.
I suppose “progressives” support this isolation?
The country is going tribal
“Civic life as we knew it a few years ago is largely dead. It is awful.”
Much of that death is the result of the marginalization of white men. They maintained many clubs and organizations, and younger ones see no point.
Seems to be the same situation at the parish level as well; the feminizied, faggotized Church wants the mens’ money back. The traditional parish societies/groups are withering on the vine...

You want to see a social space for white men that still exists, just go to your local gun club. :)
Where’s the white female members?
“The country is going tribal”
This country has asked for that outcome when they created affirmative action policies; they’ve completely marginalized the majority of the workforce (white men), and now too many of the next generations see little point in even working (and therefore breeding).
Here in the northeast companies, schools, and neighborhoods are signaling they need white men back, but they aren’t getting takers. They miss having people who show up on time, use trash cans for their intended purpose, use blinkers/turn indicators when driving, actually buy fishing licenses, wash their hands before handling food in restaurants, and most importantly, pay their bills.
It is too little, too late; the MGTOW/Men Going Their Own Way trend won’t be reversed.
“Spaces” reminds me of Hitler’s liebensraum.
Why yes...yes it was.
And Jussie Small-dick has his own brand called “BUFU”.

Segregation all over again.
