I was watching a video where Felipe Luciano said that banks pretty much refused to give Blacks and Ricans money when they wanted to buy properties they where renting.

Bronx brehs. It COMING y'all like it or not. This is what I found at the Chase bank yesterday withdrawing my bread.

But our hood is too gully to be gentrified. This is a great thread and it's not even 3 years old and so much change has happened and the guys from the Bronx with that nonsense about it won't happen there. People have to realize that the crap that's glorified in the late 80's and 90's would catch up and bite them. When you own nothing or don't take value of what you have you will always lose.

Around 41 minute mark he goes in quickly on redlining done by banks.

from some of the articles I've read it sounds like they're about to go ham by the Botanical Garden.

North Carolina and Florida aren't purple states, brah.

Take a hard look at what the state legislatures and governors are doing in the south and midwest. NY isn't easy but they're not actively targeting Blacks and minorities with predatory laws
The justice systems is a conversation onto itself really and is a national issue.

Stop and Frisk isn't predatory?

That's correct they are. The main problem I see is blacks are too nostalgia filled about the "good old days" of the 80's and 90's . Those were the days where we could have changed the game by going full force into education and repair of the worse neighborhoods. I thought about recently and yes it's too late. Now will there be affordable housing built ? Yes because you not going to have whites being security guards and retail workers. Some poor and under educated people will need housing and with the city not wanting too lose these people housing will be built.
Let's hope the blacks in high school and college don't fall for the traps their parents fell into.

I think a lot of people thought things could never change and then we saw this rapid unprecedented change we're seeing now... but things seem to be slowing down again. It'll be interesting to see what the market does in the spring and summer. A lot of projects in Manhattan seem to be falling by the wayside recently. I feel like some communities figured out ownership and a semblance of middle class life but a lot of people got left behind because of education and drugs. From what I've seen and heard a lot of the city kids today are worse off today than they were in the 80's and 90's structurally but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Kids aren't not worse off today because of the Internet . The problem is getting a start. I posted that I knew a white girl who worked in a coffee shop and that she made enough money to live on Atlantic ave in Cobblehill, that's something we can never get, those jobs that give us a start. That's is the biggest problem facing any black person no matter the job you will be considered last to hire . Whites don't face that problem. It's not rich parents it's getting a chance to start. It's way harder for us to get jobs now that the young white milianials are getting into human resources jobs .

They are building like 3-4 apartment buildings for affordable housing in Boro park at 39th and 12 Ave near the Jews tho. McDonald Ave isn't too far. shyt is wild cuz it made buildings they building. Imma take pictures and post them here.
