Imagine if someone said this about keeping minorities out of white neighborhoods.

In B4 Tigah in the ATL says something about how hard it is to be white.

Let's dispel any quaint thoughts about equality , etc. government discrimination is ok in this country, so long as it is directed toward white people.

Gentrification
Horrible term. Absolutely horrible!

Gentry refers specifically to a "you-didn't-build-that" class of people supposedly gifted by position and birth.

Calling community reclamation "gentrification" is demonstrable of the pathetic nature of current politicized dialog.

And at no point in time did someone say "hey, let's stop trashing our neighborhoods, driving down real estate prices, and giving people an incentive to snatch it up and gentrify it."

Gentrification refers to what happens when an old, relatively poor neighborhood becomes popular again with an influx of new, wealthier residents. The higher property values that result can lead to higher rents or property taxes and drive longtime residents out of places they and their families may have lived in for decades.


Yeah that's just tuurible.

How dare they improve the community.

Gentrification can occur without a significant shift in racial make-up. Its happening in my neighborhood right now.

Just do what Mugabe did: whites can't own or rent property within the city limits.
