There are always push and pull factors that help to explain the migratory patterns of various groups. In Puerto Rico, economic transformations in sugar production and land ownership following the Spanish-American war along with the Jones Act of 1917 influenced the decision of the island's...

Im not bitter, but I think its uffed up that the cops come through now when there aint a damn thing to be policed except for a few guys who get too drunk and cause a commotion in a bar or whatever. My block is literally right around the corner from a police station but we wasn't gettin that...

Boyznoyz, I think the issue is not whether people should feel unsafe in their communities. Rather, its the fact that when we consider the beefed-up police presence in an area undergoing gentrification (take Franklin Ave and St Johns Pl for example) in relation to the racist stop-and-frisk...

What a timely subject. Over the last few days I've noticed the profound changes taking place in Brooklyn. But let's not fool ourselves as if gentrification in Brooklyn is new. Although not recognized as a full blown phenomenon until the late 1970s and early '80s, central city reclamation, or...

That's awesome! 

My man Lebron...Congratulations, Brother. Awesome execution, agressive play, wonderful passing. And everyone came through in the clutch. At this point, all the haters can't say anything. Absolutely nothing. "Its about damn time!" 

Congrats to all the Heat Fans! I don't care who you're a fan of. Tonight's game was the epitome of team basketball. Respect due.

Awesome game and what an implosion for OKC. I still don't understand how Sefolosha is out there in the game man. I know OKC doesn't have anyone to guard Lebron but this guy is horrible. Lebron gets a cramp, has 5 seconds left on the shot clock, and Sefolosha gives Lebron a ton of room to nail...

**Paging Ninjahood** You know, the same NT member who applauded Bloomberg, the "filthy rich duke" who "has been awesome for NYC" because he's run the city like a business. How do you make sense of this form of regulation? 

Pretty much. I was definitely buggin on that one. 

To Neverflopped and Tecca Nena...check out this link on applying for the Tuition program at Columbia. It appears as if, so long as you are a member of the full-time or part-time support staff, you're eligible to enroll for approved courses. http://hr.columbia.edu/be...-support-staff/how-apply...

A good dude, too. He always gave me boxes when it was time to pack up for summer. Much respect. 

I've never really visited the website, but I suppose the best way to shut it down, or at least tame the content is by boycotting those companies using WSHH to advertise their products.  The first step would be to study in depth how online advertising actually works. For example, I'm in the Bay...

 And I'd call you a thief and a parasite on humanity. At least when the rich do it, they're usually part of a company that does provide a service (banks/manufacturing/etc). Any generally those same rich people did have to do something to get to where they are, you're not born into being the...

From the perspective of liberal capitalists see an entry from Robert Frank of the WSJ who argues that since 2001,"inherited wealth accounted for only 9% of their net worth in 2001, down from 23% in 1989."(link:http://blogs.wsj.com/weal...ine-of-inherited-money/) That said, ten years is a small...

I think the biggest problem is not so much poor people living beyond their means through the conspicuous consumption of superficial items. We should instead take issue with the extremely wealthy who abuse their purchasing power and exploit the world's natural resources. First off, I don't buy...

 One of the most acute responses I've ever read on NT 

Seems to me like thediscussion has gone off on a tangent with this heavy emphasis on hair texture.In any event I have a few thoughts on race relations in the unitedstates.   The OP was right topoint to the 13th amendment and the 3/5ths compromise as pivotal moments in thehistory of race...

Peace Brother, EPA is not too bad. There's a pretty decent collection of Stanford graduate students living (and gentrifying) the area. I would try to scope out some of the areas close to the border of EPA and Palo Alto. You will not be able to afford Palo Alto. Its full of silicon valley...

RIP to the greatest hip hop composer of all time. Producer doesn't even begin to describe this man and the way he blessed the mp. Thank you, Jay Dee.
