    1. Hi… I was commenting on this page, when I came across yours and all what you just said in your comment is great and amazing… I would like us to be friends, this is my gmail address
      ronniewagnersunshine@gmail.com
      You can text me… Sorry about the comments on public stuff… Kindly texts me on this Gmail address if you don’t mind… I hope to hear from you soonest… God bless you ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒบ

  1. Dinkins LOVED tennis and back in the 90’s would come to our club RIRC and we (pros) would hit with him. He had a nice 3.5 game. He was a sweet and nice guy. Thoughts to his family.

  2. Gday Luv
    RiP what a Icon legend civil rights activist..
    Certainly going to miss him leading the African American Parade
    Prayers up sage down drum beaten
    May you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you are dead
    He was a Mayor who happened to be Black..
    Harlem Native Yes Sir.

    1. He was one of the best mayors NYC ever had. And he was given a hard time, all due to the color of his skin. Then Rudy came along and stole credit for all of Dinkin’s hard work.

    1. You had him and all I had was Phil Collins singing to me….as a child…๐Ÿ˜ณ lol
      This is so sad for real. It appears from these comments that he was an amazing man. I would much rather listen to him and his wisdom then have Phil Collins sing directly to me and grab my hand during his performance LOL. But that did change my status in school… not that I was looking for it…๐Ÿ˜ it was definitely an experience.

    1. Leave it to these neoliberal frauds at MSDNC to turn this into identity politics garbage

    2. The fact that you ASSUME he’s noteworthy, only based on the color of his skin, shows you are in fact racist. Why would you even go there unless you were?

    3. @Caroline M. I did not write the headline. Neoliberals obsessed with identity politics did

    1. The truth comes out over time. Dinkin cleaned up NYC. All the credit goes to him, and not the Italian mule that took over after him, who did absolutely nothing for NYC but rode on Dinkin’s successes.

    2. This reminds me of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. That was a tragedy in itself. May his family find peace in this time of Sorrow..๐Ÿ’”

  3. RIP Mr. Dinkins thanks for your contribution to ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ as well as being motivated drive to becoming NYC 1st black mayor who inspired us black people to believe in the American dream RIP๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒบ
