NYC Mayor Eric Adams had to eat his words after Black New Yorkers checked him for saying New York was “built by immigrants” without acknowledging the foundational contributions of Black Americans. In a sit-down with historian Latoya Coleman at the end of Black History Month, Adams admitted he was “guilty” of erasing Black history and apologized for his sweeping generalizations.
But the conversation goes DEEPER than just an apology. The hosts break down the real demographics of NYC now – how Caribbean and African immigrants outnumber foundational Black Americans, how the city’s Black population has completely shifted, and what this means for political power and representation.
From the caged birds vs. free birds analogy to the reality of who’s really voting for these policies, this discussion exposes the uncomfortable truth about Black identity, immigration, and power in modern New York City.
