“People were asking why I, a black man, wanted more white people living here. It wasn’t an easy sell.”
In other words, hatred of whitey is the default position in black communities? Hello, Mayor Schoolbus Chocolate City Nagin and the “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright.
“White folks just don’t live like that when they aren’t forced to multiculturate”
Really? Where have been all your life?
Spoken by a black man:
“”When a town gets below 50 percent white, it makes it very difficult for the town to maintain services,” Adams said.”
I’ve lived it myself.
The truth is not racist. Just ignore those who would ignore the truth to preen about how righteous they are.
Crime stats for poor blacks and poor whites are not even close.
My ancestors were dirt poor but not predators and their communities were intact.
I grew up in a lower middle class neighborhood in the 1960s in the largely black town of Jackson Miss, median home price in my area was around 12,000 bucks for 1100 sq feet and most folks made around 100/week
Yet I could go to a black area slightly poorer and their crime rates were much much higher though back then it was safe for me as a white child to go there freely much different from today.
We had zero crime ...nada.
The statistics do not lie. All poorer folks do not commit crime at the same rate. Not even in the same ballpark.
I haven’t seen those blacks going to suburbs because libtards are moving into downtown neighborhoods.
They are going to other hoods or other section 8 housing.
It’s not like they are going to Westchester county from Bed Sty.
If you don’t think blacks moving into a white neighborhood brings down property values and increases crime then I’m not sure you can be approached with anything but the most selective realities of life in the US today.
I’ve been inm Dixie most of my life living in large black environs and I lived in Haiti, Jamaica and West Africa.
I’ll put my experience about what it’s like to live like as a white man in a black community with anyone on this forum.
So fire away. Just ask.
And give me one example of a white community that has crime rates like a black ghetto.
You might find one if you look real hard...some crazed out meth hollow somewhere.
“Crime stats for poor blacks and poor whites are not even close.”
Maybe you should post the stats
I’m at my aunt’s and on her mac and do not know how to copy and paste.
You can just google crime stats by race or “do poor whites commit crime at the same rate as blacks?”
Steve Sailor has an article on this on malkin.
or google worst neighborhoods by zip code
but having been poor white once I already know the answers
“So fire away. Just ask”
Give me your verifiable figures, the stats on race, income,crime rates, etc.
I doubt that much building has been taking place in Pennsauken in the last fifty years. The lots were already, nothing but postage stamps, mostly small working class homes built in the twenties.
I tend to find that lower-middle class areas tend to have, at best, two generations before they deteriorate into slums/ghettos.
Harlem, much of Brooklyn, Queens (I live here), Boston, the Bay Area (SF and Oakland) the U district of DC, Los Angeles, the near west side of Chicago, etc.
What I see in the above metros is the tendency for blacks to move to older suburbs or down south.
No, they are moving to Orlando, Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston, among other locales. Those who are leaving Harlem (which lost its black majority), Fort Greene (which should be "bleached" with the next decade, BedStuy is next), but staying in metro NYC are either moving to older, lower middle class suburbs (Valley Stream, Elmont, Union, NJ, etc) or going out to the Poconos.
The crime was bad in Pennsauken when it was all white. My grandfather made brass boxes to fit over all the door handles and locks to keep theives from breaking the glass in the doors and reaching down to open the locks. He died in fifties and by then most of the people in the neighborhood were senior citizens that had lived there for thirty or forty years. The younger families were mostly white trash. This is a neighborhood that borders on the worst part of Camden and the Delaware river. You drive down the road by the river and you are right at the Benjamin Franklin bridge, where the worst tenements in Camden were. This has little to do with race and everything to do crime.
It really saddens me to see block after block of abandoned red brick townhouses in Camden that would sell in the millions in the West Village or Brooklyn.

wow, I didn't realize that people were flocking to those areas of the country. I think I can resist the temptation to leave the suburbs of college station, Texas for Brooklyn, queens, bay area of Oakland, west side of Chicago ...... But that's just me. That's what makes this a great country. I can choose to live here and you or others can live in those up and coming areas.
Yep, and many of these hipsters and yuppies interestingly enough come from places like Ohio, Oregon, and other parts of the country.
There is a reason why you can't even get into the ghetto (ie Jamaica, East New York) for under $300K in NYC. Housing demand is high, and the land is limited. Rent control also has the unintended effect of keeping rents high, so the only reason we have any poor people here is due to subsidized rents.
Here in Nashville, they are already south. They have to move to another hood or to another sec 8 housing.
They can’t afford middle class burbs since they sold their hood homes a dump or they were just renters.
I actually saw here in the Waverly-Melrose area a sec 8 get torn down and replaced by nice condos for she men and their alpha-wives.
Kids today have this fantasy about urban living..lol...as did I once.
I love leaving way out now....I’d prefer to be even further out.
Sounds like more whitelandias up north...big change from my day when it was still Beam-Koch era/aftermath...gritty
