They should have owned the businesses and homes/ apartments not let dumb shyt fukk up their hoods BEFORE they got desirable. Like I said, ownership would have been an excellent solution 20+ years ago, but now it's too late. You don't really love the place you live if you don't officially own it.

I forgot who written this, but there was a poster that said that he loves BK now without the hood nikkas causing trouble. shyt like that, gentrification was inevitable.

:manny: I most definitely agree with you that ownership could have decreased the problems, but not everyone can own bruh. You have to take into consideration renters, the last film I just posted goes more into the effect of laws than alot of the earlier stuff I posted.

would you rather live among a bunch of poor violent negroes (no 'cism) or elitist, hipster CACs? If you want to be safe, we all know the answer. Yeah, I'd rather Harlem be gentrified by nice professional black people, but there aren't enough of us to do that.


:smh:

People like Charles Rangel made gentrification inevitable.

When they had a chance to purchase the once run down brownstones in Harlem for a $1 a piece back in the 70's set aside for Harlem residents, they were bought off by realtors to stop it from happening until who they desired would move in.

Gentrification is a slow and deliberate process where people within those communities who want something better don't have it made available to them my dude. Your point is way too simple.

IDK bruh. Harlem was pretty beat in the 70s, I really doubt real estate companies were knocking doors down to buy the properties. Rangel is a scumbag no doubt, but I need more proof to buy into your theory.

I heard this from one of the elders who I totally respect.

The "third answer" on KISS FM now WBLS is an ol' black man who put together boycotts on Madison Avenue and got marketers to add black executives who voices this all the time. I trust that dude.

He stated that Rangel and David Dinkins, the then Manhattan Borough President, were in on it. He was saying that on KISS 15 years ago before gentrification took place in Harlem!! :krs:

He's the main reason why when my pops was alive and through his political connections got me a chance to work for Charlie, I declined because of what he did.
