I have no problem with this. If you don't feel comfortable with your business there...move.

yup, in chicago they put a new starbucks, whole foods and chipotle in englewood about a year ago, and none of them shyts have bulletproof glass. it's just them arab corner stores. and to be honest, them places are detrimental to the hood selling all that non-healthy and expired food to the poor and liquor 24/7. they can :camby:

We are not begging shyt. You are. fukk are you talking about better solution are you stupid? I said I'm tired of nikkas with the you have to stay in the "bad" neighborhood just because you're black and have money. That don't have shyt to do with that other stuff which I didn't disagree with. Learn how to read with understanding.

White people have no issue coming into a “bad” neighborhood and gentrifying the fukk out of it. They think long term. We want the shyt to be right before we get there without putting in any work. Then we mad when it’s gentrified. We can’t do both. We need to think long term too. Bad neighborhoods become good because of people.

Neither do black people. Y'all nikkas think every black neighborhood was always black? Smfh this shyt is always a cycle but people really be out here thinking that stuff is new under the sun. I also hate the dikkriding they and we shyt please stop it. Online has toooo many nikkas on that white folks get money and don't spend it talk while low key shytting on their own. Most people period that have money live in "nice" neighborhoods but I don't want to mess up you narrative though. I'm never mad about gentrification because I see it like most times of change an opportunity to get $$$ like others I know. Maybe some of these other cats look at it that way but never I. Lastly like I always say I need for people like you to show and not talk (if you're not already doing it) because oftentimes folks esp online will say what needs to be done but they themselves aren't doing what they speaking on.

I get mad at gentrification because I don’t feel a neighborhood has to be expensive to be “good”. I’d love to live in a neighborhood with all black homeowners and the homes worth $55k. That’s not an issue for me as long as people take care of shyt. Our biggest issue is mentality. We will steal from stores, rob them, vandalize property, value possessions rather than assets, etc.

I feel what you’re saying though and I don’t disagree with it. We do need to be more action and less talk as a group.

How many restaurants y'all cats went to with bulletproof glass? I see what saying because I don't think(,not certain) that restaurants are supposed to have the Bp glass. I might have read the article wrong but I do know I've never been to a restaurant that has Bp glass and I doubt y'all have either so I understand it from that point.

In Atlanta they have bullet-proof restaurant drive-thrus in some Black areas. It's out of control and it all needs to be regulated.

A neighborhood doesn't have to be expensive to be but let's also be realistic more times than not price is usually a sign of good stuff as far as neighborhoods. Hell if you want that just move to the Atl or places with a high black population you can find that. Gentrification usually happens because of opportunity. People's parents/grandparents buy the home pass it down and the kids don't take as good or care of the home, don't pay the property taxes, etc that makes it easy for someone to get a deal. You then have this happening a few more times then bam you got gentrification. I think most people like you only have a problem because it's white folks if it was mainly blacks doing the exact same thing would you really complain?

I agree loser (edit:meant lower fukking autocorrect) socioeconomic people will steal and the like regardless of race but that's life and unfortunately not changing anytime soon. As long as you ageee about the more action less talk the other issue can usually ime be worked out.

Yeah but other neighborhoods don't have as much violence. :manny: Crime is high in the hood, we know this. The reason why it's high, is a story all in itself, but it is what it is. Some of these cities are at 300+ murders for the year. The stores are located in the neighborhoods where these murders are occurring. They would be dumb not to protect themselves for real.

It's violence because there are no jobs nor activities (skating rings, play centers, etc) for these kids and adults.

They see non-Black people in their neighborhoods and can't even hire them or give money back to the neighborhood they are taking from.

And for people who think Black people are not trying to set up stores or think long-term - need to do some reading and research to know that's not true or even the issue.

Property tax and water bill liens are killing Black America homeownership right now. In Michigan, people are losing their home left and right because of it.

For sure. I know black cats in Philly making $$$ off others housing misfortunes. It is sad but it's life and if they weren't someone else would.

I agree with you, but that doesn’t change the fact the violence is there. Foreign store owners aren’t going to give our people the opportunities they deserve, not before their own. Just not gonna happen.
