I bet they criticize white people for gentrifying certain areas as well.

THE SUBURBS HAVE BECOME A PONZI SCHEME
A new book looks at how white families depleted the resources of the suburbs and left more recent Black and Latino residents “holding the bag.”

Nearly 25 years ago, I reported on the changing demographics of Cicero, a working-class suburb just west of Chicago. For years, the town, which was made up mostly of Italian and Eastern European American families, worked hard at keeping Black people from settling there. In 1951, when a Black family moved in, a mob entered their apartment, tore it up, and pushed a piano out a window. Police watched and did nothing. The governor had to call out the National Guard. By 2000, the nearby factories, which were the economic foundation of the community, had begun to close. White families moved out and left behind a distressed, struggling town to its new residents—Latinos, who now made up three-quarters of the population. It felt wrong. It felt like the white families got to enjoy the prosperity of the place, and then left it to these newcomers to figure out how to repair aging infrastructure and make up for the lost tax revenues.
I bet they criticize white people for gentrifying certain areas as well.

Can any of these type of instances be cited that occurred less than almost 3/4 of a century ago? Or any less than 60+ years ago?
