DO NOT MOVE OUT OF URBAN CENTERS. THE SUBURBS ARE NOT WHAT'S HOT.

They're telling you to move out the hood so they can take over it themselves.They're telling you to move out the hood so you won't get killed or robbed.
If you're making decent income why would you continue to risk your life living in third world conditions?
You can't tell negros in the hood anything, it goes one ear out the other.
I'm not going to stay in the hood and try to convince a bunch of brainwashed people about education and fiances.
Fuk that, if they want to screw up their lives let them go ahead
If more people practiced ownership, then gentrification wouldn't go on.doesnt matter where we live right now...we not doing nothing with it
I think one reason why blacks don't invest in the hood is because blacks are more bias against blacks than other races. Besides barber shops, black people think they can get some free ship or not have to pay now "because we cool like that" or because they're both black, they'll get a discount (srs). They know with an Asian or Indian person they couldn't pull that shyt, so those businesses are more successful.
There's also the fact that a lot of black people have an inferiority complex, and view a black business as "lesser" than one owned by another race. It's fukked up but lots of blacks think like that.
A lot of the short minded heads don't think about making the next generation better for their kids or think that ownership is "white people shyt". Some will go as far as making their kids suffer because "I survived in these harsh conditions, so why can't you? Man up" as a badge of honor.
Like when Clarence Thomas was instrumental to neutering Affirmative Action. It's funny how people think that black people get all these huge breaks when it comes to getting jobs or getting in college, but I can't think of a single elite college/medical/law school that has a larger percentage of black people than is represented in the population. It seems like without AA, these places would just not take any black people.
Right. But if you live in public housing why not aspire to move out? If you live in a bad neighborhood why not aspire to leave? There's nothing stopping you from coming back once you've established yourself.
Each one teach one is a great theory. The odds are against you though.
