Here's your latest installment of "everything is racist," courtesy of the New York Times.
The paper's "Race Related" section is described as "a weekly newsletter focused on race, identity and culture," and for my sins, I recently subscribed to it. This morning, an email arrived from "Race Related," attaching a story about gentrification in the historically black South Park neighborhood of Raleigh, North Carolina.
According to the article's author, Emily Badger [emphasis added throughout]:
"A few new homes rise high above the modest, single-story properties around them. Those houses, some longtime residents lament, feel so large that they evoke plantation homes, complete with second-story porches an overseer might use to keep an eye on the black residents nearby."

Everything is racist.
If you say that houses above make you think of the house below, you are either a liar or psychotic.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
You can barely tell them apart!! :)
Liberals are the most miserable people on the planet.
They invent things out of thin air to be miserable about.
Helluva way to live the one life you’ve got, IMHO.
They would prefer an African shithut?
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
LOL. Yeah, I got confused there for a minute.
These are the kind of things that only the warped mind of a white liberal can come up with.
Blacks don’t think about these things.
ROFL
By show of hands: how many actually worked as slaves on a plantation?
Not to mention that the real deal in that part of Brooklyn would cost 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars :)
If you had a really good broker.

That is so true!
Bttt
They are ugly. I call them shotgun homes because you can fire on through the front door, straight through to the back door.
Gentrification is a problem here in Raleigh where rent and home prices are high. It’s driving the working poor out further and further, mostly south of town.
Wait....your post had the word *racist*......that may now be construded as......racist.
Geez.......they (evil leftists) don’t want anyone to be able to say anything, anymore.
By show of hands: how many actually worked as slaves on a plantation?
How many of them even know what a Plantation is
They are ugly, but how would one prevent this process’s progression without massive government intervention which would have significant (though probably different) negative consequences for those who are supposed to be “helped”?
And you may find yourself, living in a shotgun shack....
