:: The cure for urban jungles is gentrification ::

Sam, you are ‘naive’ of our urban situation. #BLM mitigates AGAINST gentrification. Simply because ^gentrification^ involves “white-folk” reclaiming their living space.

#BLM owns the urban cityscape!

Yes, I pointed out the "push back" by black leaders about gentrification in their neighborhoods. They have successfully blocked companies like Whole Foods and Trader Joes from going into their neighborhoods - than they complain that their constituents have no supermarket options and have to buy groceries at overpriced convenience stores!

The neighborhoods I'm talking about in Brooklyn and Queens were not predominantly black to begin with. So they had less resistance to gentrification. I think that is key to improving our inner cities however. Who really wants to live in a ghetto? Certainly nobody is going to go there for some jazz music and coffee.

It seems that Democrats and black leaders want to keep their people down and out - where they must crawl to them for handouts. Those that escape with honest jobs are often tagged as "uncle Toms". So many of them see their only options of escape as an athlete or rapper. Not a good situation.
