talk to the supreme court
Save the Trayvons!
How dare white people come in and renovate dilapidated properties. No wonder the blacks are incensed.
Oh, wait, that can’t be right. It’s white people who want to keep blacks out of white neighborhoods. It’s impossible that blacks would want to keep whites out of black neighborhoods because blacks aren’t capable of being racists. I know because that’s what the Just-Us Brothers said.
How dare they cleanup what THEY have destroyed so very well over all these years. Are they capable of doing this themselves? yes they are! but this would take responsibility, morals, family values, hard work and a realization that the politicains and thier very own have been screwing them and holding them down for years. It is much easier to fight over crumbs thier black plantation owners throw thier way for thier vote.
***In gentrification, some neighborhoods are targeted for revitalization**
Is this a way to describe non-government urban renewal, where private citizens use their own funds to upgrade a slum?
Look for Ghetto protection legislation very soon.
Why is it okay for blacks to move into white neighborhoods, but white can't do the same? Isn't that racism?
The only whites willing to move into bad neighborhoods are liberal whites, gay whites who like cities. Now they are clashing with blacks. Wonderful, Dem whites fighting with Dem blacks. Same thing is happening in Oakland CA. Rich liberal high tech white workers seeking lower rent moved into Oakland and commute to Silicon Valley (homes own by CEO, entrepreneurs etc, prices out of reach for most well paid IT workers). Google provides coach buses for commute and they top at city Metro Stops reserved for city buses. Normal people will get ticketed if they stop at a Metro Stop to pickup people, but Google’s offense is overlooked. This double standard has become the rallying issue for poor Dems in Oakland against the pro Dem Silicon Valley corporations. Let them fight. Dem party is going have to choose sides, and whoever they choose, the losing side will sit out of the election or look at the GOP as an alternative. Either way the GOP gains. MSM highlights the war between RINO and Tea Party, but the split between rich white liberal Dems and the poor Dems is even worst and heated. No Tea Party or RINO slash each others tires or spray paint their opponents home. If the economy does not pick up the conflict will escalate and become more heated.
Time to bring back “redlining” and “blockbusting”...to get rid of those evil interlopers.
Definitely need a score card.
Let me see if I have this straight.
Once upon a time cities were made up of neighborhoods. The people tending to settle in the neighborhoods were of like ethnicity, religion etc.
Common sense just told ‘us’ that though it may be ‘safe’ to wander into ‘other’ neighborhoods, it wasn’t a good idea to start any trouble.
This worked well for quite a few years but come WWII the younger set came home from the War and settled in the suburbs. For the most part the neighborhoods ‘changed’ and the suburbs weren’t quite as demanding as to the ethnicity of them.
Along came LBJ and it was deemed, through the ‘Great Society’ that neighborhoods should be integrated.
Whites living in older neighborhoods were retiring and houses were being snatched up by minorities, with after a few ‘families’ moving in the price of the property started to drop.
So, in the wisdom of LIBS forever, LBJ managed to turn cities into ghetto neighborhoods.
When the ‘working’ or Blacks that had money started to move out because of the conditions, for the most part the cities were uninhabitable.
The “YUPPY” movement started and the beautification of the cities began, starting with tearing down the old hotels and flop houses in the cities - which is where the NOW homeless population were living.
This forced the inner city blacks to be jammed into tighter corners and ‘the powers that be’ started demanding ‘affordable housing’ (A code word if ever there was one) in the suburbs.
Along with the beautification of the cities came the aforementioned Yuppies who were buying boarded up houses started ‘moving in to the neighborhoods’, prices went up and now the abandoned POOR Blacks were moved into tighter corners and the Fed kept pumping them money.
Now, predictably, the Blacks are rebelling that Whites moving into THEIR neighborhoods (FUNNY, WE CAN’T HAVE WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS) so they are going to court over it.
The inmates are definitely running the asylum.
IN essence, the Whites are being denied the neighborhoods THEIR ancestors built and through the process of ‘change’ lost.
Now THEY want to pass laws forbidding Whites AND stores they deem are WHITE STORES - Trader Joes etal - can’t come into the neighborhood because MONEY will come back to it.
A similar situation is in the Indian Community.
“WE” sent enough of them to college and a few actually learned something - that Indians could have their own laws on their ‘given’ land.
The same Lawyers etal figured a way to put Casinos on them in the guise of ‘helping’ the masses...Well guess it doesn’t take a genius to figure out who has the money..
One of the great lines from Washington was
“Whose brilliant idea was it to send ‘them’ to law school and teaching them how to read”....well, maybe not but....
Really assumed this would be satire!!!
Blacks like spike lee hating white liberals ...go figure.
Almost all those neighborhoods used to be White. When Whites complained about the demise of their neighborhoods they were called racists. If they dared do anything about it the whole power structure line up against them.
