On public transit the other day, the bus driver got into a long, loud, extended rant with a passenger about how whites were moving into black neighborhoods (both driver and passenger were black). The conversation was triggered by the sight of a woman whose car was parked in some temporary zone and she was trying to edge her way out of it.
"What's a white woman doing in this neighborhood?"
The route in question was along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Some lovely old homes are along that route, but many are in a state of disrepair.
Both driver and passenger entered into a spirited discussion about whites moving into black neighborhoods. "Gentrification, it's called," yelled the bus driver.
"Blacks will have nowhere to go, where do they want us to go, Pittsburg, Antioch?" "It's a CONSPIRACY, I tell you!"
The goal is to diversify all neighborhoods in America.
“Blacks will have nowhere to go, where do they want us to go, Pittsburg, Antioch?”
Smart of the blacks to realize that the appearance of whites bodes badly for blacks; I understand their concerns...Jersey City NJ has re-settled plenty to attract wealthy yuppies from NYC, and they sure wouldn’t tolerate what nearby Newark NJ has to offer.
