real talk: black people need to stop moving to the burbs

[boskey]

1. As long as you own property you should live wherever you want

2. Black people shouldn't be playing "chicken" with white folks trying to predict which communities they plan on taking over. Be a productive member of whatever community you stay in. The "hood" doesn't have to be the ghetto.

3. Any demographic discussion about just black and white is outdated and useless. The future of America is gonna be brown ie hispanic and latin

The street I grew up on was mostly young black (American and some African) middle class families replacing old white families moving further away from the city. Now its at least 50% hispanic

hell yea thats the truth
soon as somebody wanna get a lil money they wanna move across 8 mile
its people that work for the city and dont even live in the city
then complain when detroit becomes more of a international/mixed city

How about white people stop running😱 nah I'm kidding. But I agree blacks should just try to improve their current environment instead of running to the burbs.

Gentrification is a beast. It already happened to Harlem

Gentrification is a motherfukker, breh. If you're ever in the H, drive through 4th ward. These white developers tore down both 4th ward and parts of 3rd ward and call the area "Midtown" and "Neartown". 3rd ward has been target by the same developers because it's prime real estate and these CACs ain't trying to drive up 288 no more.

So true and the price of these Midtown apartments/condos are ridiculous. It's crazy the difference driving around the corner can make though when one is in Midtown.

 

[daboywonder2002]

black people are abandoning north, south and west philly in droves


real estate people like me are watching like

that philly city wage tax is a bytch though

 

[YouMadd?]

lol not true

i'm just looking at the big picture here.

What big picture? That you think all black people need to act in a homogenous way and migrate like a group of cattle to where you see fit as if we all don't have different reasons for why we do different things like every other group of people?

Tragic, last time I was in Harlem some pasty Brit asked me where he could get some coffee from and mind you it was 1AM and it's nikkaz shootin dice gamblin, sippin 40s, and hittin jays. And this was back in 2005...

You guys sound like those CNN/CSPAN panels with all the black "leaders" of today who tell everyone what they need to do...but of course nothing ever gets done.

Problem with ur statement is nikkas, specifically, hood nikkas. You can't improve someone who doesnt want to improve or more importantly have the mindset to improve. You're talking foreign to a hood nikka. Like a Chinese person speaking Chinese to you.

Yeah a hood cat might wanna be a baller or a hustler, "get money". But he has no intent of doign anything further outside of buy a nice car or smoking weed/drinking and continuing whatever illegal activity he attained it by.

Responsible black folks trying to go in and change stuff as the minority will almost always be overrode by majority ignorance.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

But what made the baller and street hustler the most prevelant and adored member of the inner city? Because the people that were tryna clean up the hood and make it a better place either ended up dead, in jail, or on the run. Make no mistake, the effects we're seeing today are a part of a chain reaction going all the way back to the Civil Right era. You think if the CVL's or the Panthers were able to carry out their programs that the predominantly black areas in our major cities would be falling prey to Gentrification today.

It's just so convienient to blame it on nikkaz not wanting better. nikkaz been fightin for that for the longest, hell even before desegregation just look up the story of Greenwood in Tulsa, OK or the BWS, or look at how Woodlawn was cleaned up thanks to Bobby Gore and the CVLs. Each time, they faced the wrath of cac aggression and institutional racism. That's what makes the gentrification so sick to me, the fact that blacks had tried and were stopped from improving their own lives and communities.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Real shyt.

Same thing happening in Dallas, TX. All the black people are moving to the Southern suburbs. Areas like Cedar Hill, Desoto, Duncanville and Mansfield are turning ghetto as fukk while they are building many new Condominiums downtown for young whites to leave in.

nikkas don't learn.

You ain't never lied. When I was looking for a house two years ago people kept talking bout house in Desoto and Cedar Hill. You can get a good house for the low but 1. They all cookie cutter so they lose alot of value 2.Its a long commute to all of the good jobs and I've been working in North Dallas for the longest. 3. It's gotten pretty ghetto out there, I go see my potna out there and dudes parking on the grass. Bass booming up and down the street.

I was like, Nah I'm good on that..


I moved out north to Mckinney I can get to the Casinos in less than hour. It's so quiet, I just sit in my backyard and blow my trees in peace
