When we were teens and college years there was no ostentatious spending, however Black Organizations wee very visible and taking action and taking care of problems! There was no violence problem or big drug problem in NYC until the late 80s and 90s! What Black Organizations that were were destroyed , and I mean like bombs hit thier edifces, bvy the National COINTELPRO efforts! Black News which was created by various Black Nationalist ad hoc committees, in 88 looked like a bomb hit it, that is how bad the building looked! On Fulton and Bedford. The East the main center for Afrocentric organizations also looked strangely devestated, as if some sort of internal explosion! I wish there were photos on the web! to see something like that , happen quietly in the middle of an urban area is bizzarre if not spooky! Even a building in need of repairs does n't look like a bomb hit it! and that was on Claver Place, about 5 blocks down Fulton.Yet we have no money for Black Organizations . . ..
As far as this generation there are no Black organizations in NYC for these youth to donate to cause the youth unlike back in the 60s and 70s have created none! There have been no new organizations for over 25 years! the UAM is a shadow, NAACP and Urban League are nothing but money collectors that the community rarely sees, the NOI? Sharpton's National Action Rally?? So really what Black organizations are you talking about?
