The real elephant is black people not actually owning their own communities. No ownership of houses, no businesses, nothing. That’s the real elephant.

Also

How black people continue to run away from the same hoods to the suburbs many of them talk about need rebuilding..

I was talking to older black men at the barber shop and I said look down the street and tell me if u give each black family in those 20-30 homes on each block $200,000 each how many would automatically leave the neighborhood for white neighborhoods , instead of upgrading and owning that home and combine resources for a better neighborhood and our own quality strip malls… and they all said every blacks person would run far away to be next to whites…

One thing we do better than every other race… is we talk more than we do

we play for one team while everyone else is playing all sides.


Up here white liberals are actually sending mexicans into black communities to do their dirty work.

Which is, it’s only liberal cacs aka our “allies” that are gentrifying our areas, not the conservative country white boy redneck ?
The ones gentrifying are the developers and firms actually buying up the property. They are definitely rich cac conservatives. The liberals you think are the ones doing it are just individuals who come across ads and websites showing housing that matches their personal budget.

Big difference.

"Liberals" can be just as conservative as "conservatives". Just not necessiraly on the same topics, or by expressing it the same way. Eating gluten-free and reading James Baldwin doesn't mean they actually want to live around Black people. Or at best they want to live around Black people that live like them. Which is why they change the neighbourhood and promote certain types of Black people, for example. Same tactics have been going on since colonialism.

Yea, it’s usually educated liberals pushing poor black people out. They have to be “liberal” enough to even consider living near black people in the early stages of gentrification. They come and put down BLM signs and lgbt signs and in 5-10 yrs that once black area is as white as Seattle :whew:

And people are reaching if they think the developers are conservatives, a lot of these developers use the woke “affordable housing “ angle to get community buy in and even subsidies for their projects. The developers actually fund the campaigns of democratic candidates in a lot of the major cities

That is DEFINITELY not true. There are PLENTY of wealthy white “liberals”. Those coastal elites and “Progressives” run shyt too. Nice try though.

is this post directed at me? where did i absolve liberals? conservatives (developers) build/gentrify for tax incentives, liberals move in. you got a problem with it, do something about it.

This applies to your comment too.
