A town with an over 90% Black population that you probably never heard of - Lincoln Heights, OH

Okay but what is her solution?

Beg the government for grants/programs/reparations?

The SAME government that actively marginalizes black communities and creates this very situation in the first place?

MONEY is the only thing that moves in this world. We have to figure out a way to leverage it as a people.

not begging the government, but using the governement and local politics to your advantage. every other group and major corporations are using the government to get what they want... yet black people have this belief that individual actions are gonna offset years of purposeful, systemic racism. nah fam, you can be responsible as a person, but still put the pressure on the government to do what's right.​

The same Government that Gerrymanderes our votes and uses many other suppression tactics?

Look I’m all for political action, but this case highlights how a community with no strong BUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE and CIRCULATING DOLLAR can get jerked around just as much as you think it highlights Yvette’s big talking points.

Resources matter.

I’ve personally seen our community rely to much on outside businesses to survive while EVERY OTHER race build from the inside out be they Jewish, Indian, Chinese...

This community tried to battle in court for thier right to incorporate as well. Didn’t work cause Without a bag and connections behind threats and votes these white folks don’t give a fukk what we want.

Nothing individual about black folks building black business up.

I'm from Cincinnati

where you from & do you still live there?

Cincinnati is trash in general, and horrible for blacks that live there, it’s just a backwards city IMO. There’s another black suburb like Lincoln heights in Cincinnati that had the same fate. I think it stems from the same problems too.

Cincinnati is not that bad actually, I've come to appreciate the city as I've grown up

bruh I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying that you need to mobilize politically as well. black businesses by themselves aint gonna solve the problem. you need capital and resources to have a successful business. a lot of black businesses rely on government grants. do you really think all of these other communities are just pulling their bootstraps and doing it by themselves? A minority grant was created in south florida for blacks in the 80's. Guess who came thru and took the resources... Cubans. black people can't prosper without the government helping in some way. it is what it is. it's not about begging, it's about getting what you're owed.​

We're talking once gentrification is complete. Alot of suburbs are going to turn into the new hood, but even more hopeless.

Yup breh is speaking facts. Think about why is there gentrification everywhere? From NY to LA? From Boston to Miami from Milwaukee to Houston. The endgame is to push black people to the suburbs. Once that happens cut off government assistance and jobs to black folk. And the suburbs become like Indian reservations. No resources,high crime, and hopelessness. France has done this with their suburbs.
