As Nina Simone pointed out, black self-sufficiency was damaged by pseudo-integration.

I strictly think he’s saying that minorities in general should look to invest in their own community to help keep it a minority community. All black and brown people aren’t poor and that doesn’t have to the only narrative for our folks.

Jesus finally an adult in the room. Thank you.

It's frustrating hearing people suggest that we are doomed to an eternity of poverty despite directions on how to get out... We need to navigate around the obstacles...
-
Indeed. To make matters worse, they are not coming up with solutions. I bet you, they are the same people who see you organizing to get out and vote, clean neighborhood parks and/or walk for hunger - they turn the other cheek.

Word. Wouldn’t put $3 in the collection plate on a pay week but could tell you every which way to do something. Smh.

He wasn’t. “Black gentrifications” doesn’t solves displacement or the class antagonistic aspect of gentrification. There are more efficient of improving a community that centers the people that LIVES IN the community and not those coming in.
-
Because silly you're still displacing an entire group of people. Can you not read you're upgrading a community to middle-class taste.... you're going into a community where relatively poor people live and raising the cost of living and etc. You're displacing them.

I live in a town called somerset where this didn’t happen. They knocked down the house projects and rebuilt a small housing community do those people can live with dignity. They were able to do that BECAUSE of the home owners in the area. It’s possible.
-
That sounds like a great rehabilitation program that benefited residents of those projects & improved their quality of life, rather than displacing them through gentrification. We need more efforts like this to help rebuild our communities.

I'm convinced that most people in any negative situation are more content with arguing what wont work on the internet yet actually have put zero movement behind a solution that will. Rasicm Classism Global warming Womens Lib Internet knows Best .......YAWN

I'm not in the situation...but don't act like you know my credentials when you don't know me....& The same can be said for my peers who are also commenting on this very issue.
