No, we're not both correct. Yes, it is possible to point to *some* good
things happening in virtually *any* era or circumstances (which is not
to
agree with the specifics of your view on that, or the view of your
unnamed, unquoted "black celebrities").

I can't remember the name (which is why I didn't attribute the quote in
the
first place) but I *believe* it was Wynton Marsalis, and I *think* he said
that about Harlem's "glory years" on NPR's "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross.

According to Tom Sowell, Harlem was originally an upper class black
neighborhood that banned the Irish.
