Gentrification

[sk8forlife90]

how about you rich mother fuckers stop kicking poor people out all their homes?

[reflectionsofyou1911]

I usually dont respond to comments ( ldfmeile) but black people dont push whites out of their neighborhood. Google the term White Flight the sociologic and demographic term denoting the trend wherein white people flee urban neighborhoods as they become racially desegregated, and move to racially-restricted suburbs and commuter towns.

So the truth in this video is not racist, but the real racism is white people that dont want to live next to blacks. ~ R

black people dont push white people out of their neighborhoods because they cant afford to.

[ldfmeile]

Yeah, this is an awful example of people moving into a community bringing money, tax dollars for schools, roads, social services etc. If a white person made a video about getting pushed out of neighborhoods by black people, which happens everyday across this country in a major way people would be screaming racist. This video is a shameful example of racism. People can live where they want in this country.

o its you again sorry retard, white people moving out of an area is different , as every1 knows this , white people themselves fled their areas because of blacks and latinoes moving in , shit it happens till this day , blacks never move into white areas to show off their riches and kick the poor out wtf , and by the way once again , gentrification isnt a race issue its a income issue , white ppl fled these areas now they want to return smh

[johnbourbon]

why should there be 'heightened racial tension' just because some white people moved in?

ah, racism.

[haitianzoezoe]

its not about race retard , gentrification happens all over the globe , and shit here in brooklyn , greenpoint got it the worst , and thats a polish area fool , ppl are against the yuppies

[johnbourbon]

not surprisingly, you missed my point. and by the way who asked you anyway?

i'd ask you to limit yourself to intelligent responses, but i realize that's asking too much. just go away.

[haitianzoezoe]

no1 asked me anything little girl but you commented yur stupidity on this video right , if you dont want ppl to comment then dont fukin comment yourself restard, and last time i checked your post didnt have specific names on it , so you go away

[johnbourbon]

in other words, go fuck yourself.

[haitianzoezoe]

you want to fuck yourself? y r u telling me that?

[johnbourbon]

wow you truly are an illiterate fuck.

you fail @ life! lol

[haitianzoezoe]

o really , well i guess i better stop going to college since im 19 years old ahahah lol , anywho do you live in flatbush??

[ldfmeile]

If it was wealthy blacks moving in these areas the uproar would not be as much. Its reverse racism. The fact that many of these areas were white before makes it even more ironic. I live near a white (Irish/Polish) neighborhood that is being gentrified + they don't cry + whine like babies. Sure they're pissed but many take the wealth they receive from their homes + try to better their lives. If the people u refer 2 value their neighborhoods so much why do they allow them 2 look like shit?

[haitianzoezoe]

sorry you fail their white people amaze me when they lie about their history , last time i checked in the 1950,s - 1970,s white people left mainly because they didnt like blacks or hispanics and the suburbs werejust being built and they decided to run their , and maybe your irish area isnt crying , but come to brooklyn the polish area greenpoint is crying , and so are the artist loft in williamsburg , neighborhoods look like shit?? im sorry i never knew all black areas were like this smh

[ldfmeile]

I appreciate the fact that you can't put together an intelligible sentence but you should stop telling people where to live. You should stop directing anger towards the wealthy people who pay the taxes that allow kids to go to school, allow poor elderly people to have a place to live/eat and create most of the jobs in the cities that working class people of all colors enjoy. But no, lets be like haitianzoezoe and get angry b/c free people in a free country choose to live where they want.

[haitianzoezoe]

what do wealthy people do??? im sorry this isnt cuba or europe , wealthy people are the less fortunate in this country and its mainly the less fortunate that build this country , get your statements correct sir

[BellaOxmix]

So true. They are trying to turn atlanta into manhatten. They don't realize that the poor man built that city and he has a right to live their just as much as the yuppies.
