Went to Baltimore last Saturday to help my friend move, and she literally lives about a 15 minute walk from Ravens and Orioles stadiums. And literally half of the homes and buildings around her were all boarded up.
City just looked so abandoned and destitute. This is a city that has a strong Black legacy. We really(Blacks) need to invest in that City before its too late(especially Black folks from DC)

There's a financial district. All the major banks have fake headquarters here because being headquartered in Delaware offers tax incentives. They're really in NYC. East side is all ghetto. South bridge (South Side) is all ghetto. North side and West side have notorious ghettoes but there are good neighborhoods in both too. Wilmington is weird. You can be in the projects/hood, drive 10 blocks down and be around lawyers and doctors. Joe Biden lives in Greenville, DE, where the rich folk live. 2 miles down the road from Greenville is Hilltop, the last neighborhood in West side Wilmington
Arrogance.

This was how Detroit was when I visited it in 99. Comerica and the 3 blocks around it looked brand new. Everything leading up to it looked abandoned and desolate.
These mid-Atlantic cities built too dense when they were originally building out. Not only does that create CEPTD (crime prevention design) issues that exasperate these problems now but they've become less desirable neighborhoods for gentrification (I know we in the black community are suppose to oppose gentrification, but some of these neighborhoods have no other choice) but they're still expensive because of their location.
These neighborhoods are stuck in an endless cycle. The people are poor because all they can do is hustle and make a quick buck, but the people can only try and make a quick buck because they're poor and uneducated. Poor causes hustle and hustle causes poor. The idea that as a whole these neighborhoods will work themselves out of relative poverty isn't realistic.
Black people would fare better in less dense neighborhoods. Hopefully we'll see a migration from high density areas to lower density areas among black people. Cheaper land too.
Also, there is an issue that once black people make it, very few ever go back and invest in the neighborhood or community. Where are these people?

The whole city doesn't look like that, just a good portion of downtown. Investing was done, but it didn't do anything because people couldn't afford to live in the houses. All this shyt comes down to jobs, and the drug war. Point blank. I don't get why blacks keep thinking that because a neighborhood looks nice, that it means things will be better. They spent millions on building houses, and that money could have went to teach skills, so the young people don't have to sell drugs just to eat at night or work low wage jobs. And these were people who went to college, and are supposed to be the thinkers of society.
We should focus on education also, but money is first. Without being able to afford proper food, and have a proper form of shelter, you won't have the energy to focus on school, your mind will be thinking about getting money to live a nice life. It is so easy to fix these problems, at least to the point shyt won't be that bad, but nothing changes majorly, just small things.
This guy was a cop in baltimore, and says the same shyt I keep writing in these threads, the problem comes from the drug war. What's sad, I doubt a lot of blacks will agree with him about legalizing drugs. I don't agree with legalizing all drugs, but we can at least start with weed. You know how many can wean themselves off of opiates with some good strong herb? The same with crack, or cocaine? Plus, weed brings a different energy to an environment then alcohol, and other man made drugs. But, again most blacks don't get it, and nothing will change until certain blacks, and whites make a change. Being that blacks are so caught up in Christianity, its going to be hard to get them to see keeping things like weed illegal, is why we are in this bullshyt!
People who are in the system already can't do anything, and that is how it was designed to be. Blacks who aren't part of the system let their children down, because instead of calling out the real issue, they rather say its because of sagging pants, or hip hop, or just being lazy. It's like blacks are scared to confront shyt, unless it is going to put down other blacks.
They were built for the poor Irish & Italians basically white nikkas before they left for the suburbs and blacks moved in.
Thank you, many people are clueless to this.There's a financial district. All the major banks have fake headquarters here because being headquartered in Delaware offers tax incentives.

I remember you being one of the few brehs that resided in Wilmington
That New Castle dope epidemic is getting out of hand tho, my father moved out to New Castle after I left to go down south.
He constantly shows me links depicting how crazy the dope problem is, and all I see is RIP/Free SoAndSoIWentToSchoolWith over dope related shyt. Its too small of an area for things to be that turbulent.
