Yes there was. Just cause you never lived it doesn't mean it didn't exist.

Of course there is and was. In NYC, the current middle class is a household income of $150K - $250K.

They will cry racism, but it won’t matter, not like it ever did. And it’s happening all right here under their nose with chocolate kings and queens in power. All under their democrat masters from up above.

Very sad. I much rather see govemrnet uplift and help all its citizens to get better. But instead they import illegals.
Despite what many may believe as of last census Latino/Hispanic is dominate minority group in NYC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_a...0(non-Hispanic).

AA population is declining in both NYC and state in general for that matter. Despite clown show in Albany with two out of three persons in power being AA, Latinos/Hispanics are coming up far as Albany is concerned, and they know it.

Look how fast governor moved to provide all sorts of welfare and other aid to "migrants" who largely are from South America.

Only reason why Adams and other blacks win elections outside of mostly AA areas (which are rapidly shrinking) is because progressive, liberal whites drink the Kool-Aid and vote them in. Same as for Chicago and other places.

White and non-white Latino/Hispanic encompasses a wide demographic, and that's only reason why as a whole they haven't fully displaced blacks. But make no mistake numbers of former are growing and as have said democrats and anyone paying attention politically knows what time it is.

Catherine Garcia came *this* close to beating Adams in last mayoral election. That Garcia won "white" Manhattan while Adams got the outer boroughs says something.

Adams says he supports letting non-citizens vote in local elections. This because he knows high numbers of Latino/Hispanic are illegals or otherwise cannot vote/would be covered by new law. Meanwhile on other side of fence AAs are furious over proposed law and are happy so far it's been held as unconstitutional.

Blacks know their days as top dog in "minority" class are going away. Latino/Hispanic numbers are rising both from birth rates and immigration (legal or illegal). If Latinos/Hispanics form coalition with say Asians and peel off some other voters, blacks are doomed.

No it's not. You can live a good middle class on way less. Not other people's fault some don't know how to budget and spend less. More things don't make a life better.

A good middle class life in NYC on a household of less than $150K? If you already have a paid off house/ live in subsidized housing or are childless, sure.

No one with a household income of less than $150K is living a “good life” in NYC unless their housing situation is dirt cheap (less than $2K/month).

So if you make $149K you're out?
Haha

You don't know me personally. So it would be a benefit to you to only speak on what you know to be true.

Look at you two

There's a middle class alright, but you both have differing opinions on what middle class is

Shouldn't it be transparent?

Too funny

What does that mean, in a sense. Either it's yes or no.

Of course you don't see the point. There should be a definitive meaning of what middle class is, but there's not. And the reason why is because it doesn't exist. If a middle class even existed, then you and 90sSitcom would be in agreeement of what a middle class is, but your opinions differ. It's really nothing more to it. Ask what makes someone poor and everyone will have the same answer. Haha.
