has any area EVER been "gentrified" by Black people?
I asked before,
I will ask again,
Has any hood in America that is predominantly Black went from Good to Bad to Horrible to Good again?
Can you list all of the "well to do" Black neighborhoods in America?
I can off the top of my head:
LA - Baldwin Hills/View Point/Ladera Heights
DC - Gold/Platinum Coast
ATL - Cascade Heights
Houston - MacGregor
Philly - East Oak Lane (debateable tho)
Cleveland - Shaker Heights
you can add on to that list as you see fit
You're saying Dave Ramsey is a solution to this "problem"
I say, not all Black folks want to nor care about "the hood" like that.
We are both saying it is not necessarily the system that prevents Black ppl from owning their own home.
But have you thought about many ppl do not care to own their own home?
Before I got married and had a baby I could care less about owning the place I lived in.
I love the disposableness that renting gave me.
