We're always painted as the "villains"But we (blacks) are the face of welfare tho
I'll never forget, my mom's good friend owns a house on Prospect Place near Franklin Ave. This was before it got too gentrified, maybe 15 or so years ago. She said she got a knock on the door, it was three Jewish guys looking to buy her house. They came with a bag FILLED with money. She said it had to have been at least 750K.
She gave them the
I can be mad at them.... The shyt is illegal...
These fukkers are hoarding money and buying up land. They then become slumlords to get Black and Latinos out of buildings. Then they refuse to rent to Black and Latinos and drive up the rental prices by renting to idiotic gentrifiers who will use daddy's money to pay for inflated prices. This in turn raises property value and prices potential minority homeowners out of historically Black neighborhoods.
These leeches are using government subsidies to get rich and displace minorities, who are truly in need, out of their own homes. Greedy, trashy, soulless cacs.
@ historically black neighborhoods. Those were white neighborhoods that black people lived in. You don't have a neighborhood you don't own. Because if those were black neighborhoods, then they wouldn't be getting gentrified out of those neighborhoods. Unless you control the politics, the police, the economy and the schools in a neighborhood, then it aint yours. Even if you've been renting your apartment there for 50 years. 
don't be mad at them, learn from em
It's finesse or get finessed ouchea & these hassidic jews doing their dirt
arent these the same dudes who wont sit next to a woman on planes?
I don't get mad at other groups for mercilessly looking out for their group's best interests. That's what group economics is all about. The exact type of group economics that makes black people victim to the things you mentioned above.
My only issue is that blacks do not do the same. As soon as we get something, we want to talk about "black and brown" coalitions. And "people of color." And "hip hop generation." And the "youth." See, even you did it...talmbout black and latino.
Due to white supremacy, black people really don't have time to react emotionally or think morally. Black people need to check game and watch what's going on around them. These other groups will do any and every thing to protect their group's interests. That includes lying to get subsidized housing. That includes withdrawing their money from banks and using a cash only economy to hide wealth. That includes manipulating advertising for who finds the housing. That includes paying off politicians to look the other way while they control who lives where.
I respect the game. And trust, I would have no issue doing the same. My problem is, my people would be the first ones snitching to the city on some "equality for all" sh#t
Peace
