It's not my responsibility to take care of your shit
I agree. What's your point ?
James Price
And white people generally understand that about each other. If you don't take care of your house or your yard, it's not racism that lowered your property value.
I don't know what black area you have been to but when i think of a blk area I think of the mothers trying to work two jobs to support their kids, without childcare, without adequate health care, having to choose between buying them clothes for school or paying a heating bill.
Like kids who persevere against all odds, going to schools to learn and finding not enough textbooks, or buildings that are crumbling, and yet they still show up every day, hoping to fill their minds with knowledge.
Like elderly women in public housing who look out for everyone’s children/ Like ministers who run day care programs, and job training programs, and whose churches are involved in rehabilitating housing for low-income families.
You have this idea that white areas are like this
The truth is whites drugged out on meth like this
White folks get K&A looking like skid row. They have programs giving them clean needles and a program to pick up the needles these cave beasts discard on the ground. Plus they beg 24/7 with their dusty ass signs in the street and subway. You see when it’s a white problem it isn’t a problem. They don’t want the little white Timmys of the world to hit that cell

Show me a neighborhood in a white community where the property values dropped after blacks moved in but the appearance remained exactly the same, then we'll talk about racism as the cause.
That doesn't happen. White people are always telling black people that they're are no units available. And whites make sure black people are screwed as far as mortgages go by screwing over blk people have a good credit history
Whites create these “
Neighborhood Improvement Associations” which are basically ways to keep blacks out, or banks that redlined entire communities, thereby depriving them of capital investment, or the predatory lenders who set up shop in the hood, and charge black borrowers 10 or 20 times the interest that a normal bank would.
Your question assumes that blacks moved in, the whites chilled and stayed, then found the area turned into a shit hold and the propetty values go down.
That's not how it works it it ?
White move out when blks move in over a certain %.
And that just demonstrates the effectiveness of several hundred years of racial propaganda saying that black people are going to be criminal, they’re going to rob you, they don’t make good neighbors
if you have years and generations of people picking up those kinds of messages, and they do pick them up, from several different sources.
If you talk to white folks in Russia, In Bosnia, in Alaska, white folks who have never or rarely around black folks, they will come forth with many of these negative stereotypes in spite of no first-hand experience.
Your argument is basically "I'm racist and it's you'r fault"
