Is San Francisco objectively the most racist big city in America?

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

Isn’t San Francisco the most progressive city in the world?

Certainly in America.

What that tell you?

Reading the OP again made me mad as fukk.

 

[Booker T Garvey]

Certainly in America.

What that tell you?

Black people have got to stop falling for all that white liberal virtue signaling

they use our plight as political ammunition, they need us to prop themselves up socially and politically.

when it comes to opening doors for us, they're nowhere to be found...and when we were opening doors for ourselves they shut them

It's not there job to hire unqualified nikkas b. That's counter-intuitive. I spent years in silicon valley and that narrative that the tech industry is anti-black or discriminates is bullshyt. How many nikkas you see in computer science classes. It's already bad enough that we get such a low percentage in universities. But its damn near laughable what 75% of them are majoring in. shyt like Sociology, Kinesiology or African American history. Stop looking for handouts. Go out and take what's yours. That's what i tell kids and its the only mentality to have when its us vs them. We will continue to lose if people are looking for 'sliders' in life or blaming others for shyt we control....

This is some creative spin doctoring you did right here...

statistics/real data >>> anecdotes

I don't agree with what he said, but stats can be skewed. And don't tell everything to a story, leaving things out .


And what he said isn't that off, given some mfs do focus on useless degrees. But ignoring the racism is dumb and dishonest

San Francisco has had the worst case of black flight of any major city. Think about it. Name one other big city that has completely lost its entire black population? The problem is that San Francisco has always been defined in mainstream culture from a white perspective. Since black folk are out of sight and out of mind in SF, you never hear about life in HP, Lakeview, Fillmoe or Sunnydale. What's ironic is that the extremely impressive and prolific independent rap scene in Frisco in the 90's went into extreme detail about life in SF hoods yet the mainstream white perception of SF being full of rich people, hippies and gays is what sticks in folks minds. But then again, all cities are defined from a white perspective which is why chocolate cities always have exaggerated reputations as being poor and dangerous when chocolate cities often provide more opportunities for black owned business and a thriving black middle class and even black upper class.

I'm from the city originally, Lakeview to be exact. And Lakeview used to be a middle class black neighborhood. It was even considered such during the height of the crack epidemic. But all the middle class blacks left en masse from the early 90's to the present because middle class blacks didn't want to live around all of the violence being caused by the Section 8 nikkas next door. You had middle class blacks fighting to make the hood safe and clean again... But once crime and violence started dip in the early 2000's, other races with money and resources swooped in and started to gentrify the hood. Today, Lakeview demographics have switched from 60% black and 10% Asian in 1990 to 60% Asian and like 10% black.

What has gone on in San Francisco is ethnic cleansing of black folks. There is no other way to put it. At least in cities like DC, NYC and LA, black residents have seen the crime rates in their hoods drop drastically since the early 90's and still live in the same neighborhoods they grew up in. That's a rare story in SF. With the remainder of black folks in SF in the projects, it's only a matter of time before all of the projects in SF get tore down because real estate is too valuable on the peninsula. Even a literal active trap house in SF worth a million.

Deep insights. I always wonder about what black life in this city.

Everybody just moved to the other side of the bridge

[Mr. McDowell]

It's sad but Black people stay getting conned. No allies and still asking for scraps and tangibles.

Chris Cornell said it best. "Arm yourself because no one else here will save you." People have got to stop being petty, link up and work together. That's the only way forward.

Come to New York. I hear good things about Frisco and Oakland brehs. NY is very accepting and you can get a decent paying job.

Just visited for the first time last week. Has to be the most unique city in the US. Such extreme topography and density going along with that nature. Not surprised money would try to hold that place and move any challengers out. Had been to San Jose before, and SF was just like a different planet. Black population was noticeably absent. Surprised at the lack of hispanics as well.

Went this summer for the first time as well. Only blacks besides me and my boy were in the Tenderloin district in the morning ( there’s a bomb ass Vietnamese sandwich shop in the middle of skid row).

Interesting place, but nothing there “spoke to me” as a black man.

Oakland was much more my speed.

The only reason you say this is because the interracial couple is high however job wise yea its racist

This comment is still true x1000.
