Gentrification- the cure for White Flight

[Polishprince]

How can both trends be condemned since they are two sides of the same coin.

"White Flight" is when crackers move out of the inner city ghettos, leaving a more segregrated community.


"Gentrification" is the cure when honkies move back into the hood, often fixing up the properties, building Starbucks and Whole Foods and replacing the check cashing stores, gospel missions and Family Dollars that black people like to frequent.

How can they both be "bad"? Should ghettos remain "chocolate cities" forever? Does that mean that white flight was a tremendous thing as it allowed the development of the Ghetto that gentrification is now threatening the existence of?

The obvious implication is that anything whites do, is by definition wrong.

I guess "they" want us to just be "blocks of wood", so that they can work around us, using us, while creating exactly the world tehy want.

ANy effort by us to serve our own interests, is... by definition wrong, since that is "whites" using their... power?... in service of their interests.


Yes. That's the crux of the issue. I have found that leftards get enraged at the very idea that whites are allowed to even HAVE interests, let alone, try to protect or advance them.

Meh, looking at the photos it still looks like they need bars on the windows.

I'd also be suspect of the caliber of whites that move back.
