One of the things that’s already begun to happen is the mass exodus of white people from affluent cities and neighborhoods into the hood due to covid unemployment. And thus the mass gentrification process has begun.
And it is gentrification by the way. Y’all have to kill this idea that white people who’ve fallen on harder times aren’t gentrifiers. They absolutely are.
Look at the asks I’m getting. You can litterally see where the gentrification starts.
The framing of everything is “why are you being mean to these poor, sad, destitute, white people!? They have no choice but to move into these poor neighborhoods!” The expectation is for me to feel sorry for white people who are coming to live....in a place I already live.
Once again, the neighborhoods y’all move into when you struggle are the neighborhoods we grow up in. My neighborhood is so black, dominoes won’t deliver after the sun goes down. But you know what? We’re happy and feel lucky to be here. You know why? Because we know what you don’t know and that’s that 2 streets down is the hood. And 4 streets down from that is the projects. So we’re happy to be in our little black neighborhood.
But you? You move in full of despair. You hate being here. You feel at a disadvantage to be here. You hate our culture. You hate our cookouts, our loud music, the bass at 4 am rolling through, the weed smell, the fact that we leave our dogs chained up outside, the fact that we have pitbulls, the fact that we don’t really cut the grass like that, you bemoan everything about us.
And as more of your cracker friends move in you cling together. You don’t know our names but you look at us like we’re the intruders in our own neighborhoods, you start talking shit, you start wanting to “make improvements”, and worst of all you start calling the fucking police.
So we start getting arrested, assaulted, more of you move in, our rent goes up, we move out, you’re building a “home owners association,” you’ve got us all too scared to listen to our music or cook out anymore, the rent goes up some more, we leave, more of you move in, and suddenly our little black neighborhood that wasn’t the nicest but not the worst is full of white faces. White faces that peer at the few black people left. You make them so miserable they’ll leave anyway.
And all of this? Big money hasn’t even touched it yet. You bring gentrification with you as a poor white because you bring racism with you. You bring your privilege and upwards mobility with you. You bring your “improvement” mindset with you.
So no. I don’t feel sorry for poor white people at all.
Fuck y’all. Stay out of my neighborhood and go live with the white trash.
This is what I mean by culture of racism
You have a damn good point until you mentioned chaining up your dogs.
“Dog chaining” describes a practice in which dog owners tether their dogs outdoors to a stationary object for extended periods of time. In s
Have you seen chained dogs in your neighborhood and wondered what to do? Here are some common questions about chaining and tethering, includ
Chaining up a dog increases its aggression and leads to dogs biting people more if they manage to escape or someone accidentally gets in range.
This is not a cultural thing. It's animal abuse.
Why did you think this was appropriate?
Fuck you and fuck them dogs.
I don't fucking excuse either but you, you see these dogs a status symbol. If you gave a shit you wouldn't have included them in your post about the things you love about your neighborhoods. The good things that feel like community.
But someone puts evidence in front of your face that this is animal abuse and not a cultural artifact and suddenly that makes them racist? Are you seriously trying to say anti animal abuse equals racist? Get this I'm also against the abuse sled dogs get too for the exact same reason! ( A spot that predominantly white btw) But nah must be the racism here. I can't possibly care about two things.
Stop glorifying animal abuse. My family used to let cats roam free indoors and out because that's the way it always was done but we know better. There's no excuse for this shit.
But we both know you will just point at this as more racism and white tears because those dogs are just living decoration to you personally. Makes it easy huh.
Did I stutter? Fuck you and fuck them dogs
ALSO: stop FUCKING them dogs
