bc out here in these Bowie suburbs...

u have the nice mixed neighborhoods with the nice houses...

a few nicer ones that target the financially reaching near-elite blacks...

the ones targeting the elite non-blacks...

and then the old white population with the shitty houses that are ancient and literally nothing in them...

there isn't enough of us upwardly mobile to really go into a struggling neighborhood and genuinely invest in it

1.) pop numbers
2.) urban flight of blacks
3.) financial overreaching
4.) lack of access to dat privilege

i do think some cultural issue contribute to why those things happen...but it's not the major hurdle it's often presented as...

i think being in such proximity to such upwardly mobile whites and not existing within that same privileged experience makes us think their ceilings are our ceilings without realizing that our floor is about the same as those poor low-end blue collar whites in those shitty suburb pockets happy to have a gas station nearby
