Was this before or after the Native American lived in America?

I always heard NYC Central Park was shitty....but I guess at least it was useful lol

Yea let’s just give all descendents of NYC black community an 1/8th of an acre in Central Park. As well as half a million dollars for slavery reparations.

Are you angry that people are trying to bring attention to things like this? Your comment seems pretty reactive.

Y r u upset that this video is just stating history??? It’s something that happened and something that doesn’t get talked abt so there bring attention to it.
