Old Bronx was mostly Irish, Italian and some Hispanic and each group lived in their own separate ghettos. When Blacks moved in, they largely moved into Italian neighborhoods while Hispanics tended to follow the Irish. Anyone into sociology would have a field day with the migration patterns. Folks in the Bronx were largely VERY territorial.Because the segregation was so blatant in most of the Bronx, some PJ's were built on a political strategic basis much like what was going on in the deep south. So no, I think it's good that this be known and that Elkeeper is backing me up in a way as to how it was there ... that was the attitude of many back then. |
