That part doesn't get talked about enough on the biggest issue with gentrification, gone are the days where white/non black people push black people into the suburbs as they move into the city and repeat the cycle to go back into the suburbs, they trying to push black people out of the city and keep the suburbs for themselves, only leaving the outskirts the only option. History repeats itself from those who don't learn from it, but it will be different from the one before.
Also, I grew up in Fort Bend, so I can only speak on what I know with FBISD, not so much with HISD seeing as most of the posters itt is from Harris County.
Yeah, I could see the trajectory eventually going that way if the inner city was fully gentrified. Especially for the rapidly growing and developing immediate burbs to the south and west(the most populated area) such as in fort bend and brazoria county.
Far as school districts, bruh I been outta school for over a decade now. So, what I'm saying bout the school districts ain't really even based in personal experience, but the data. You can see it for yourself @ txschools.gov
But, yeah I'll say FBISD is one of the good burb school districts for black students.
For the most part black migration to the burbs and outskirts is driven by a combination of affordability, ignorance on how to lead a prosperous city life, prevailing romanticized narratives about "leaving the hood", and irrational fear mongering of "the hood".
Black parents out here really be so spooked of the inner city and being in proximity to other black folk they fk round and let their kids grow up with psychological scars from constant racial abuse, cuz they wanted to chase some lily white house on the hills fantasy in the burbs.
I sat and watched this whole thing today. Shyt sad man. Also I noticed out the other so called non black "POC"(which they ain't really) acted out throughout this shyt.
To be fair that burb is the dfw. Still I wouldn't be THAT surprised if some shyt like that happened out in the woodlands somewhere. In fact shyt like that HAS happened out in kingwood already. smh
