Hakeem "The Dream" Jeffries

Previously known as Akeem, Hakeem "The Dream" Jeffries, a former member of Phi Slamma Jamma and the Twin Tower Duo, has brought his talents to the NYS Legislature. Jeffries is using his signature move, the "Dream Shake" to sneak himself into the spotlight with this inane and straight up stupid legislation to ban real estate brokers from rebranding neighborhoods.

The rebranding of shitty neighborhoods is a time honored NYC tradition. In the 1980's we came up with SoHo and Tribeca. Now those neighborhoods are so rich and exclusive they have transitioned to the Post-Yuppie phase, where no living human family can actually afford to live there. Brokers in the outer boroughs are now applying the same tactic to newly arrived hipster transplants to trick them into moving into high crime areas populated by dangerous minorities pre-gentrified neighborhoods. Hakeem "The Dream" says "NO! We want our dangerous neighborhoods to have the same boring non-mashed up names."

Jeffrries serves on ten Assembly Committees and Subcommittees and still has time for pathetic public posturing. All that hard work and dedication that made him one of the NBA's Greatest 50 Players of All Time and an NBA Hall of Famer have helped him in his political career.

In addition to the Blacks of Brooklyn, the Blacks of Europe (the Italians) are also up in arms about the rebranding of neighborhoods. A few months ago when Bloomberg wanted the San Gennero Feast cut short to appease the gentrifying douches of "Nolita", the seven Italians who still live in Little Italy said NO!!! They thought they were being discriminated against because of their Italianess. So they started the "National Italian American Action Network", modeled on Sharpton's National Action Network, in order to "unify Italian Americans to fight discrimination" HAHAHAH. Its not 1924. No one gives a shit about discriminating against Italians anymore. We're a much more diverse country now. We now discriminate against Sikhs because we think they are Muslim and Muslims because they are Muslim (and of course blacks and Hispanics and Jews).
