If that was real Black Life would not have improved as much as it did during his administration. He pushed the envelope so far, the Democrats had to do triple flips to try to catch up.

I cannot recall a former POTUS getting so much attention. The media and white supremacy keep him relevant. 😎

@richardmurray OK, i hear ya. Personally, if i am in doubt about someone's ethnicity, i go by what they say they are. In this case, both the director and screenwriter for "Passing" claimed to be black women and i mentioned their being that because these are jobs rarely held by women of color and i wanted to give them their props.

************************************************************************************ I agree that it would be awful for all those people to be evicted from their homes. If they didn't have the money to pay the rent where they're at, then how are they going to afford to move and rent a new place. Besides that, wouldn't all this show up on their credit report, barring them from a new rental? I have been a homeowner for twenty years, so I am not familiar with the process of renting an apartment these days. Anyway, maybe Mayor Adams can do something about it, and avoid a major disaster. Or maybe some of the world's richest people could setup a fund for the arrears. I wonder how much rent is past due. ************************************************************************************

RichardMurray, Many of us people photographers work with one another. This way we can combine our funds to rent studios, warehouses, lighting equipment and of course, hire qualified models. Not everyone can pose. Many have to be taught. So patience and understanding of whom we call "newbies" are paramount. I have my own lighting equipment and a bevy of light stands, umbrellas and backdrops. I am getting ready to donate most of this to Black photographers so it can used for Education. My hope is young people will become curious about photography, maybe even enamored by it and eschew the streets and gun play. The pros I am donating my equipment to have pledged to reach out to young People of Color.

Collectively, the black race has trillons of dollars. Unfortunately, it's tied up in probate. 😁😎

IMO, the assassinations of the 1960s neutered black leadership. They literally killed our progress towards unity. Any potential leadership is quickly bought off and/or replaced with crash test dummies.😎

@Stefani agree with your assessment of these black carbon copy conservative trolls who spam this site, and you are doing a good job of keeping them in check. I also agree that the so-called "woke" progressive Democrats will be the reason why the Retrumpicans will make gains in the upcoming election. America has become a nation at odds with itself. Democracy is becoming obsolete. And so it goes...

@Mel Hopkins I miss you, too! 😘 @ChevdoveGlad you still show up occasionally to disperse the pollution 😊 @Troy i'm glad you haven't lost patience with me when it comes to my squaring off with my female antagonists.😉 @Del and ProfD. i appreciate your two having the broad minds to keep things in perspective. 🙃 'Hope my reappearance annoys the right wing lackeys who slither around this forum. 😆

While illegitimate regime head and presidential impostor Joe Biden destroy's America's sovereignty, black and Latino America seem more interested in who is going to the next Super Bowl and World Series. What a malicious misleading headline contrived to secure a captive audience for the purpose of spreading the narrative of the conservative Retrumpican community of fascists - oops i mean "patriotic" Americans resentful of immigrants. These chronic whiners, along with the growing number of Americans who wouldn't be caught dead doing the unskilled low paying jobs these fugitives from poverty and terrorism will gladly do, are too short sighted to accept this simple reality. So much for the country that once bragged about being a nation of immigrants. Let's hear it for the testosterone crowd of real men who are able to compartmentalize their lives and take time out from the cares of the day to anticipate the entertainment of the Super Bowl and the excitement of the play-offs that precede this thrilling event. Screw the kill joy wussies. Let the games begin!

I believe a 3% mean s your apartment was rent stabilised. Commercial property has no such cap on increases. The problem for me was my income stayed the same for a decade. So even though my rent was low in 1997, apartment was becoming unaffordable.
