Pretty much all of the NYC neighborhoods I can think of where I know affluent black people live are fairly mixed, or at least mixed enough that white people wouldn't stand out. (Actually, the only places I can think of that I've been where I felt like I stood out as a white person and most of the black people around me seemed fairly affluent were the Howard University campus and some parts of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard.)
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Maria, I've been wishing good thoughts for days, but only posting now.
Matt, good thoughts to your friend, too.
Oh, bt, I'm so sorry. How long will it be before they can come visit again?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Continuing ~ma for Maria and Husband Of Maria. I have been refreshing all afternoon hoping for news.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Plei, that's just about perfect. Is there an adjacent neighbourhood that's also affluent and black? I want them to travel a little to get to the Jamaicans, if possible.

I am mainlining the Tudors. I need to sleep tonight, after terrible dreams and 3 hours sleep last night. And yet, I am mainlining the Tudors.

Ooh, no, Blue Hills isn't rich enough. Rich and black nearby would be perfect.
