Black Gentrification

[AlainLocke]

We should want black people with money to move back to our neighborhoods

No...this is wrong...

Gentrification creates nothing but chaos and destruction...

Nothing more annoying than a bunch of Yuppie Black and White motherfukkers moving into the "cultured" part of town, kick out the Black people that lived there, went to school there, fukking work there, making it so they can't live there no more because only time the city wants to invest anything in the that part of town is when mostly White yuppies move in...and they can't afford to live there anymore...

Next thing you know the police shows up...the streets get cleaned...schools get new textbooks...and all the nikkas leave..

And guess what...when the nikkas leave...the people that make the city what it is...

Most of these motherfukkers don't wanna live there no more...and the ones that stay...are the ones that have kids and have a family and it turns into a no nikkas zone...neighborhood watches, stupid ass school zone laws, police everywhere..

And these all the poor Blacks and Latinos move to another part of town and turn that shyt into a ghetto because poor people brings property values down and etc...and then it's a crime wave...


If you one of these "my whole goal in life was to get out the hood..."

Don't come back...you wanted to leave, now stay gone...

If you one of these..."I wanna be where my people at ...."

But you ain't grow up anywhere near the hood, don't know nothing about the hood...fukking scared to come outside with your bad ass cousins back in the day....

Don't come back to somewhere you never been....stay the fukk with your middle class aspiring Black folks and your White friends...with the good schools...and shytty ass chain restaurants...

People in low incomes need resources...they don't need fukking Yuppies...and their fukking coffee shops and their fukking yoga studios and their fukking condos and their fukking office buildings...and their shytty big box stores...

Black people are not gentrifying anything. Literally zero evidence of this

There’s actually a lot of evidence. I would provide it to you but I don’t think interested in a serious conversation

 

[BigMan]

That’s why I’m not interested in investing in the burbs and I think it’s bad advice when black people do so. Also looking at the conditions of millennials now it doesn’t look like it will get any better soon. Trying to see what generation z will bring to the table.

Inner suburbs are good investments tho

There's nothing wrong with creating black, middle class neighborhoods. I will probably be helping to gentrify Bronzeville next year. Beverly and Morgan Park are in the mix too but a little out of the way.

No matter how much money I make, I'll never be comfortable in a 90%+ white community. I need my people around me and I would prefer them nikkas to have some money too.

 

[BigMan]

Its a good start but doesn't mean anything truly without Black homeownership and black businesses.

Many gentrifiers are buying homes...that’s what has the most effect on a neighborhood. Homeowners will effect property values way more than renters

Btw Black gentrifiers are doing the right thing if you ask me. Since cities are the hot spots for wealth. Something tells me in demanding places like DC, NY , Miami and SF, impoverished people will continue to get pushed out except for those who make use of those low income/public housing & lottery housing.

I’ve said this before the only way for blacks to counter gentrification is to simply get more money.

I say this because I know a lot of people in charge of gentrification (whites & Jews) deep down inside know that black people are easy to push around.

Even with that being said there are many blacks proud of their city who never leave as a statement to gentrifiers.

I know black women living in 1 million dollar brownstones who could be living like Kings in the south but they do it because they know that’s the plan of the developers.

Just like these developers are making your life uneasy, you can return the favor.

In NYC there should be workshops showing young black men and women the amount of money they can make in STEM or finance and Independent contractor jobs.

Black folks in pretty much every city I have been to are too much attached to these city jobs that don’t really pay as high salary to live in these expensive cities and I can’t remember the last time Mitchell Lama built properties for these people.

Not knocking down city work since it pays good money but there is much more opportunities to make even more money out here.

Don’t know much about Chicago but as an urbanit Hyde Park and Bronzeville are two areas that interest me. Grew up visiting Rogers Park (I like the North Chicago areas also) but I was a teen and pre teen so I didn’t care to discover the area as I stayed inside most of the time during my visits.

I’m not sure gentrification is something you can stop or control in a society like ours...

It just kinda is what it is...




Hopefully forcing low income demographics inward(away from the coast) produces some benefits/changes that we can’t currently see/imagine.

yeah its inevitable and happening everywhere. the only places gentrification isn't happening are in truly desolate places

 

[YamakaSmacker]

Most people who gentrify DC and New York, regardless of race, are transplants who treat the locals like shyt

 

[Losttribe]

Me and some other black people could be accused of doing this....

We literrally moved into (and are still moving into) the trap, one of the worst spots in the nation off the strength that its close to downtown and downtown is developing.

Low key, it pushes poor nikkas out and old people on fixed income take the L.... (Not the goal, but thats just what happens)

But nobody really gets hype over it cuz we're the same complexion


And its Tough and risky for So CALLED middle and upper middle class blacks to even help the hood- due to the psychology of poverty and nikkas being nikkas.
Black people w money usually arent that much better off than broke nikkas (in a white supremist society) so its not like we could save the hood if we wanted. At most we just buy property and land...instead of renting

 

[invalid]

Lets talk about it..

i've been reading alot about gentrification. often its framed as any white moving into a historically black area...however its much more complex. anyway there are a number of places where gentrification is being driven by middle/high income black people: notably, Harlem, New Yawk, Bronzeville, Chicago, NE and SE DC, the Atlanta suburbs, etc.

Any other places?

There is also poor gentrification, where poor transient blacks are moving into once black middle class areas and destabilizing the communities. You see this in Chicago, Detroit, DC, and Atlanta suburbs.

With that demographic comes discount stores that cater to them, Walmart, generic grocery stores, that kill businesses in the area. Increase in rentals causes increase in transient populations which causes home values to decrease which is where black middle class wealth comes from.

Add in the increase in payday loan and liquor stores to cater to poor transient populations that decreases the desirability of a community and you have the perfect storm for the destabilization of black middle class wealth.

Fully functioning integrated communities that can cater to all demographics are rare. Some communities make it happen but even then there is a segregation along demographic lines within said community.

Well the term “poor gentrification” is an oxymoron but yes the suburbanization of poverty is a real concern especially affecting black people
