Two Brooklyn women tired of 'white people moving into the area' force tenants out at gunpoint,

It really is. I mean, all of the buildings and symbols of the culture are there, but many of the people who made the history and culture are either gone or leaving. It's mad expensive, and the white folks who buy property there aren't even paying the proper taxes that feed back into the schools. It's really a sophisticated form of looting.

My dad made me read about the Harlem Renaissance when I was little. I wish black people could have it poppin off like that again

Move into their neighborhoods instead, see how they like it

Yo...gentrification in NYC is going towards Hyper Gentrification levels now. I was talking about it with my roommate that it was going to get really ugly before it gets better. But damn...Brooklyn is done if stories like this are coming out of the woodwork...hell it been done.

Me too...black NYC slowly but surely is dying. It bothers me to see endless throngs of white people coming into Crown Heights damn near everytime I'm there.

NYC is dying in general...and just becoming the same homogenized swill all of these gentrifiers coming in left behind.

It's interesting how their parents left these neighborhoods in droves from the 50s-70s, and now their kids are moving back. There is nothing that can really be done about it in my opinion, even though Bill de Blasio is more understanding than Bloomberg on these issues, he's not just going to tell white people that they're not allowed to move into Bed Stuy and Bushwick.

At this point, I believe that NYC blacks who can afford it should try to become homeowners in places like Long Island now that the price is about the same (possibly even cheaper) depending on what town, this way generational wealth is built, and their kids have a guaranteed place to live without having to worry about rising rent from gentrification.

On that note, I wonder if cacs will ever make it into Southeast Queens. For some reason I just can't see a bunch of cac yuppies living in Rosedale and Cambria Heights but I would have said the same thing about Bushwick years back.
