Castleberry Hill in Atlanta said no to gentrification

[Asante]

"Cleaned up"

Some nikkas wanna be honorary whites like the Japanese during WW2.

Bra.... I still want to slap fire out that nikka....I hadn't seen him in like 5 years so I let the shyt go without an episode, and now somewhat regret it.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Yep! Funny....I ran into an old friend at the gym who recently bought a shytty home in the West end that he and his cousin are fixing up. This mf is a first generation Guyananian-American, and I asked him about the area. I asked him how are you holding up in the hood? He gonna reply back, "well it's finally getting cleaned up, and the people who were there who couldn't get their act together are being moved out." I wanted to slap tf outta this mf, but I just reminded him that his fukkin Granny swam over here from a damn jungle as a refugee into our shyt.

his ethnicity doesnt really matter because its ATL multi gen well to do folks who have harsher things to say honestly.

lotta outsiders dont know how deep ATL classism is so alot of folks dont have context behind how some Atlanta natives speak on the city.

Yea these are the area where you will see them but there are still hood nikkas there

Were there a "Fort Greene Houses" ?

Bra....Atlanta's Black population is being DESTROYED by a "diverse" array of white supremacist. I'm not just talking about "whites". Their numbers are done for, so their next best option is to allow immigrants who they train to think like them into those spaces. All that I see in downtown now is a hood nikkas and Black tourist scouring the streets waiting to be cleared away at any time, while their Oriental, Indian and white Hispanic overlords position themselves to spit on them from their quarter million plus lofts that they can afford from all of their gas stations and nail salons. It does not matter WHERE I go in the city I see Cacs trying to mozzy on in to every corner. My weedman is in the West, and I do casual exploring in the area to see what's going on, and it all looks like a massive future gentrification project in the making.

I feel you. Some shyt is the natives fault to be honest. I'm not atlanta native but my dad is. I moved to the westside by Simpson Rd and MLK and the shyt over there is disgusting. People just let trash and shyt pile up everywhere. People get evicted and the trash just sits there for months. No community pride. I come from poor ass Macon 2 hours below Atlanta and even in my run down neighborhood we kept the shyt clean. If anybody on my street saw you littering they would check you. You have to take pride in where you come from.

There's so many black homeowners all over Atlanta. Their home value is getting beat down into the ground by how bad the neighborhoods are and so you see the foreign investors posting the "we'll buy your home for cash signs" everywhere and boom, a black person is selling there home for pennies of what it actually could be worth. They fix them up and usually the person who buys is white.

I've seen so many white people and gays moving into the Bluff or into vine city or into places like Kirkwood on the east side. These are still some of the roughest areas in the city but they won't be for long. I think cleaning up the streets would go a long way for black people being able to profit off their house and not be forced out of the city.

It pisses me off when people try to relegate Black American up keeping with the short period of our story where the government literally fiended out our community. So they wait for us to slip to justify doing the shyt that they been doing to us. No way. If we're gonna have context we let's have context all the way. This is an act of genocide man, and Atlanta was a focal point of the crack epidemic, that was orchestrated again by the government. This shyt was planned for over half century. Under no circumstances will I attempt to justify that fukkery.

Atlanta is predominantly black. Its not one area. Its damn near everything outside of buckhead. You're confused by the income disparity but that doesn't mean it isn't majority black. White people only inhabit downtown/midtown and the outskirts for the most part.

don't forget midtown

Sounds like you’re making excuses. Again I come from the same state, in a majority black city that’s alot poorer, that was hit alot harder with crack and I didn’t see alot of that shyt that you see in Atlanta. No justification needed. You have to take pride in your shyt, period.

Were there a "Fort Greene Houses" ?

Walt Whitman and Ingersoll houses. 2 big developments next to eachother

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Dusty ass boat nikkas

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Yeah Castleberry hill is gentrified as fukk. Blacks being in the area doesn't mean it's not gentrified .

This... money is what gentrifies a city for real at the end of the day

 

[Voice of Reason]

All of the nightlight over there is gone it's crazy.

 

[Alvin]

All of the nightlight over there is gone it's crazy.
