Let's be honest. Most of them probably don't own the property or else they'd be ecstatic.

You know what they really want? Their own all-black paradise where everyone has money (from white people) and everyone is black. They aren't interested integration. They may not call themselves this, but they are black separatists.

Let's play if white people said this.......

When asked if he feels [his neigborhood] is no longer a place he can call home, Holmes emphatically replies, “Well, hell yeah I do! It was safer when it was just us — we knew each other and we knew who our ‘outsiders’ were. We knew who to trust.”

Gentrification is good for most but it is sad when hardworking but poor people are displaced because they can't afford the property taxes because the surrounding homes gain so much value.

Those are exactly the types that should not be displaced. The thugs and criminals should be shipped off to some no-man's land, but I feel bad for the blue collar elderly family who has to move because they can't afford the taxes.

Isn't the 3rd Ward in Houston a major source of felons? So they would rather have a bunch of felons live there than upstanding people? frick it. Let them rot. If the fact that the people who are making the place better happen to white is a problem, then let them have their little paradise.

Good, hard working black citizens are typically reading this article, and resulting broad-brushing comments and are rolling their eyes at the stupidity on full display.
