what you doing to make millions? "Hustling?". Gentrification war has been won by the hipsters. No more of them goons on the street corners. No more blue collar workers working hard. No more middle class. I ain't a quitter, cause only quitters accept living in small boxes and think that it is prime living.


Working, investing, saving. Buying, renting, renovating, selling property.
Start a few businesses. Your only limitation is yourself at the end of the day.


You've limited yourself to defeat clearly. You've resigned yourself to failure. Instead of blaming outside forces blame yourself for your personal failures.



You want to go buy land from the very people that used to have your ancestors working in their fields, around the same people that fly the confederate flag, around the same that kill blacks for fun, under the same party that think you're subhuman and shouldn't have the right to vote.

What an enviable postion and condition blacks live under in the South.

sheeeyit living in "small boxes" while you have your job, bars, restaurants, any type of nightlife all at your doorstep with no need to worry about a car or being stuck in traffic for hours in some shytty daily commute? nikka at this stage in my life that IS prime living. :whew:

10 years from now if I'm married with kids, that might be a different story tho. :flabbynsick: :sadcam:

The country is changing. Even the likes of TX and Georgia are gonna be swing states in future national elections. The old guard is dying out and the white population is shrinking faster than you think. As long as you stay out of the back woods, rural areas, and random grimey hoods, you fine as a black man. All that investment you talk about needs to have proof. Very few people can do all of that, and unless you one of the few individuals that do all that and think that you still run shyt :troll: you need to move out. Even that isn't gonna be enough in the next 20 years :pachaha: .

To be fair, the racism here is just as bad down there, if not worse. A good deal of prominent buildings got built by slaves in NY, and we all know the horrors of NYPD. From the way our kids get shafted in these schools to folks calling the police on you for having a cookout, let's not act like up here is a 1980's Benetton commercial. :heh:

If someone wants to go get a home in Texas or ATL, go ahead do it. Better weather, less-crowded, plus your money goes way further. I'm not saying you should run if things get hard, but if you don't like living here and there's better options, then it's wise to entertain the other options.

Yeah like the South BX and random parts of BK where old nikkas still talking about old times. It ain't nowhere as bad as used to be.

Hatersbridge, BX
To be fair Gun Hill Rd from like 210 st on is okay, not saying it's beautiful but you'll be straight. Olinville is okay too, and over by the last stop of the 2 train is alright too.

210th st only exists after bainbridge...that's norwood. It's not the south bronx in the 80's but still a whole leap of fukkery a gwon.

Olinville's a long street bruh, specify where you exactly you talking about. Unless you let google maps lie to you again :troll:

Did you just say 241st and White Plains Road is aight? :wow: nikkas really just making shyt up now.

How much time have you spent down South/traveling in general?

And how don't you guys see that 88m3 is trolling????

I don't think he's trolling, he just has an opinion on Southern living vs Northern living and that's really ok.If moving South isn't an option for him, then it's just not for him. If he thinks less about someone who moves South, who really cares? How much sleep would you lose at night knowing some dude on the internet thinks you're a loser/quitter for moving South?
