Spike Lee Says That Blacks and Hispanics are Being Chased out of Brooklyn

[NZA]

Spike is funny. He choose to work with Absolut instead of working with local breweries. Do minority neighborhoods really need another alcohol beverage?

what kind of NY liquor companies could he endorse?

 

[Danie84]

Spike just discover that

There is plenty of blame to go around. Black men have been underemployed since slavery ended due in large part to discrimination. You need to read what a white Senator wrote in the 1960s on the future of the black family. Everything that is happening today including the deteriorated of the black family was predicted then.

Working men are the best creators of wealth. When men have a steady job, they are more likely to invest in the future of their families. After the Civil Rights era, black men were increasingly pushed out of the job market and it coincided with an influx of white women entering the workforce in the 1970s. Many factories that black men were able to find jobs at such down. Remember, cities like LA, Detroit, Chicago, Gary, Milwaukee attracted blacks who moved from the South because of the industrial boom were experienced as a nation. These jobs disappeared slowly since then and are all but gone. A man not being able to find a job is a flashpoint for a lot of contention in the black family. Divorces and absent men shot up in the 1970s as black men became criminalized. Drugs began flooding black neighborhoods in the 1970s, even before the crack era. The drug of choice was heroin. Heroin is not made in the inner city. The corrupt government officials got it from Vietnam, SE Asia during and after the Vietnam War. It was no coincidence that as this occurred, the US government formed the DEA (1973) and ATF (1972) to criminalize black people. It was the perfect trap to keep us in line. It all started with MLK being on the FBI watch list. Black Panthers, who provided protection and served the black community were destroyed by the FBI and the COINTELPRO operation. Later, they created crack cocaine and we should all be aware of the War on Drugs game with government officials bringing cocaine into the country by the plane and boatload.

Did you know that since 1980 violent crime has gone down considerably across the country but the prison population has quadrupled? How did that happen? Non-violent drug offenses. The real problem with poor blacks is that they do not understand the game that government is playing with them. The culture of out of wedlock births and absent fathers was influenced in large part by government policies passed in the 60s and 70s. Did you know that in order to qualify for public housing you cannot have a drug related criminal offense on your record? Yes, even assault and battery is ok. A single male is last on the list to be considered for low-income housing in fact in many places they will not let you fill out an application, but if you are single parent with kids, you are getting it plus food stamps. That is the reason why culturally over the last 40 years we have seen a deterioration of everything in our community. Now, most black women have a very strong preference to not find suitable marriage partners because they get all the perks under these policies if they are single mothers with multiple kids. Homeless man, manless house. Senator Daniel Moynihan knew that then and it became true today. We need to understand the policies and laws that are enforced and how when implemented have the ability change and drive behaviors of society. Eventually, those behaviors become a norm and part of our culture.

Two areas in society that the black men is not turned away from is: 1) the military and 2) the drug market. Black men make up disproportional amount in the military and even higher in drug related offenses even though whites have a high rate of illegal drug use. The military will take in a black man to sacrifice his life for their gain in a heartbeat. They will also arrest and convict you in a heartbeat to continue to eat off the billions of dollars generated in the prison industry and criminal justice system. It cost $43,000 a year to take care of each prisoner. They would rather do that than give you a $43,000 job though. You are worth more to them in jail than you are being underemployed and jobless in the street. In most cities across the country, black male joblessness is 50% or more

Props on this post, man. Real deep stuff. Could you recommend any books on this subject?

I say fuk it. Leave. See who is going to do the work they don't want to do. Come out west fam, it's hot but you can rent a 4 bedroom house with a back yard and a pool for what you're paying for a studio with no fridge in NYC.

Fuk that.

 

[Blackking]

This only happens because a combo of discrimination... and self hate. I just don't get why from 80-2013 we moved out of all these urban areas to live around cac.

Now they are able to purchase all our property and raise the prices so that no black and brown people can move back in. This is our mistake... cac gone cac... but we help them do the shyt. Instead of realizing that the private prisons and legislation is against us.. and fighting against it... we decided the best thing to do was have the most successful amongst us to take the wealth out of the hood - so that that black wealth could help with gentrification 10 years from then..

This kind of struck me yesterday. I was going through where Cabrini Green used to be to go to Goose Island Shrimp House, and I'm used to it being the projects and all. I did not see a single black person in my pass through. Not one. I looked around and much has changed since I was lat there, not even two years ago. It's supposed to be mixed income, but I see nothing but condos and townhomes. condos start at like 280k when I looked.

White people freely walking, jogging, taking their dogs out for a walk. I was like "where'd the black people go " I saw some low rises still around but it's like they don't come out anymore. They even are building a big ass Target store over where one of the project buildings were. I was truly surprised at the speed of the progress of the construction. There was nothing the last time I passed by.

But it was just something that crushes the soul in a way. When where I used to live in Wicker Park, yeah it USED to be bad back in the day, and the change was not as rapid. Took at least ~7 years. Cabrini got tore up with the quickness. I cannot imagine how the people who still might be there handle it.

Also just note the Cabrini Projects were bad, but just saying how fast as fukk things got changed up it has a hit on your insides. Chicago isn't playing games.

........scary shyt.

Everyone on this site should read this shyt (but they won't). I strongly believe that the black community is still under attack as hip hop is used as a vehicle to promote ignorant behavior and now we're dealing with the feminization of black men. They really want to destroy black men today, eh?

[Black smoke and cac jokes]

Yeah bro that's exactly the area I was talking about. The homes between Pico and Wilshire, used to be mainly "middle income" blacks. I swear I went driving one day, a couple years back, and it dawned me that I didn't see a single black person.

Ya brah my bad.
Now we got a block of fairfax as the only place to see black people at. My homie stays close to pico and fairfax and it's a shame brah, it's a shame.

[the next guy]

NYC heads tell me something though. I'm always reading about how the black population in NYC is declining.

Where the fukk are they going?

Charlotte, Atlanta, Raleigh, DC, Houston, Dallas, Miami (especially), Orlando. And in some respects, LA

 

[the next guy]

I can't believe you guys. Get your money up and stay in NYC. Come on.

I can't believe you guys. Get your money up and stay in NYC. Come on.

I've been preaching this in other threads....dudes just don't get it...

 

[theworldismine13]

Charlotte, Atlanta, Raleigh, DC, Houston, Dallas, Miami (especially), Orlando. And in some respects, LA

yep, and in most of those places its way easier to own property

i understand the emotion, but the reality is that NYC is littered with ethnic enclaves that have disappeared, over the long run its not that serious, the worst solution to this is "affordable housing" ie more housing that people will never own and they will never participate in the economic system

people need to live where they can afford to live and afford to buy
