Black people don't own so it's not relevant.



I'm well aware of all of this Napoleon. The process of gentrifying is better than the end result is all I'm saying.



Not at all. I would love to live in a community that had NO national chains and corporations and everything was small businesses in the local economy.

This is 2014 though...not the 70s and 80s. You can't go backwards entirely.

Most of the "small businesses" exist only in VERY few places in the nation like entire cities for rich people like the hamptons, rich hollywood, or mountain/ski resorts/destinations out west.

Chains are going to exist.

WHICH chains however, is a different argument.

I'd rather have Trader Joes and Costco's over kroger and walmart

Hey! I actually agree with Spike. You can't just demographically displace a historic people through immigration and demographics. Glad to see Spike supports exactly what right wing people are saying in Europe. Africans, Arabs and East Euro's have no right to culturally and demographically change Western Europe. No Africans, Jews or Arabs in England?! Damn straight, Spike.

gentification is way less about race than it is money.

I know people will argue this though.
Being poor doesn't equate to Blacks but there is just a system in place and they will do whatever to bring you back but it's not a gurantee, sending most nikkas to the poor house doesn't equal all.

And you wonder why I always call you out. Because they stay stuck on stupid.

Black people and poor people need to stfu and stop complaining. Go somewhere you can AFFORD the cost of living, live a decent life and most importantly, OWN your property, businesses,neighborhoods, schools,etc
Push them out of the city. Move them to the burbs or country where they have no jobs and lose quietly. Yep, great plan c00n.

With Atlanta deem job market and how much harder it is to find a decent job there with education than in other competitive cities for Blacks, it's not worth it. Not at all.

Black people should create their own jobs, gnat. Those Black residents in NYC are on borrowed time and no amount of complaining will change that. I'm more of do'er than a crybaby ass nikka like you, though :manny:

People with money DO like nicer areas. I'm sorr you can't relate.

Who's all these new class of money making Blacks? I bet they couldn't fill up one new condominium building at a half mil or better.

These rich new nikkas is folklore. I been around grads of every type of great institutions from Harvard, MIT, etc especially here in Maryland and most of us aren't "ballin" much less multi millionaires. That's still a heavily gated white community thing. Few Blacks are in but most aren't around. I remember being in politics and seeing it first hand. Having my elect try to convince me it's purely economics but what about this and that. It's targeted. That doesn't seem economically based at all. You are eliminating them from the start. It's one thing to start with nothing, it's another thing to start with nothing and defend yourself at every counter. If you can make it with that, you are either one extremely tough mfers or one purely sick mfer. Sometimes, their tends to be a mixture.

I don't understand what you're arguing or defending.

I'm saying that in some respects, I don't know how you want "blacks" to maintain an area, when blacks aren't investing in themselves enough to be proud of their own areas.

Being black alone aint gonna cut it.

I don't want to live next to check cashing spots and hair supply stores. I just dont.
