So true, when they take out family ethnic cuisine, soul food becomes Popeyes chicken, Mexican becomes Chipotle, family owned Chinese is now Panda Express, and on and on

Black people could act collectively to prevent it, but so many do not. Own, dont rent, or youre a target. We may need collectives to have "safe spaces".

Saint Petersburg Florida had a Gentrification nuclear bomb dropped on it. Saint Pete used to be known as part of the chitlin circuit. Now there are high rises and expensive restaurants everywhere. They tore down the original police department building and rebuilt it 3 times the size. They tripled the number of cops as well.

Not only Whole Foods and Starbucks, but Harris Teeter and Yoga Studios

Furious Styles told us about this back in '91.

I live in Brooklyn and I sir confirm. It’s looking real bad.

And micricolinization can bring the property prices up, which brings the taxes up while people are still trying to pay off their loans; but they can't because that money is going to increased taxes, so they get foreclosed on and lose their primary, or only, source of capital.

Man you are right about The Box. It was the spot until you messed around and looked up and it was white club with a few Black folks😂 it was then time to head to Club Poka. That was one they didn't gentrify at least not yet.

The school quality issue is exactly what's happening here in Inglewood. Several schools closing because of a decline in enrollment.

I’m from Inglewood, CA they trying gentrification right now thx to the athletic slaves helping!

“Makes it attractive for people who don’t live there…” I still struggle with this topic because a lot of the things you mentioned are things that should be accessible in black neighborhoods. Am I a gentrifier for wanting to be able to buy quinoa at my local grocery store, a sit down restaurant, coffee shop, and yea even a microbrewery (look up Hippin Hops and Atlantucky, black ppl are making dope beers in the south now). I feel like too often in this conversation we are imagining a limited set of black interests and we know black people are not a monolith. At the same time I understand the economic strain this places on long term residents which makes it difficult, but damn I would much rather have a grocery store that offers 70 different types of grains than having every Texaco, BP, Shell, Amaco on the same street and on the other side nothing but liquor stores and smokeshops.

No you wouldn't be a gentrifier for wanting quinoa or microbrew. But the result of gentrification is that it pushes out the original residents. Michael addressed your concern by bringing up the difference between gentrification and revitalization. Revitalization improves the standard of living and diversity of products and businesses for those who are already there.

@@johnniejohnson73 correct but that will still increase property values. If you put a Whole Foods or Trader Joes in a black community, that will attract more ppl to the area. Landlords will respond by raising rents to meet the increased demand. I don’t know what the solution is to keep long time residents in their homes, but it can’t be to do nothing. In Dekalb County, GA where I live one of the candidates mentioned programs like tax freezes for long term residents typically older who have lived in their homes for a long time get financially squeezed when property values go up and their taxes go up. That’s the best solution I’ve heard of

Thank you,had l a teacher like u even 20 years ago, as l would have been able to add more value to OUR community.

And your property taxes will go up😐 My neighborhood and there's a few neighborhoods others that I know about has been invaded, it's something to witness too, first you'll see one family, it's like that first family did recon on the area, then you'll see two move in then the next thing you know is there's skate-boards, scooters, people walking dogs and joggers and seeing that I'm in the south, you'll see white women walking around wearing some of the shortest shorts ever, the police should give them a ticket for indecent exposure and I'm miles away from a beach. But it's a thin line..... Under Florida Statute § 800.03, it's unlawful for a person to expose or exhibit their sexual organs in public or on private premises near to public view, in a vulgar or indecent manner, or to be naked in public except in places provided for that purpose. Indecent exposure in Florida is a first-degree misdemeanor

The Black upper class has similar clubs for their children. Jack and Jill is exclusive and extremely difficult to get your childen in if youre not a legacy. My wife and I have not been able get our children in even though we are top 20 university and top 5 university grads with master degree. Why? We are the first in our families to attend college. In fact we find it far easier to gain access to the white upper class.

Why do you want to get into Jack & Jillie? Or gain access to white upper society? What You really want is to separate yourselves from the Black working class rather than aligning with them or contributing to or helping struggling Black communities! You want to divest from your roots and wrap yourselves in the bubble of exclusively !

@beulahokonkwo not bad questions, but let me correct a misconception. We're actually from poorer rural and working class roots ourselves and have no interest in separating away from Black folk into the white upper class. I'm just sharing that it's far easier to gain access to them. Not because we try but because when you work with them they know your background, they invite you places, offer you introductions, and are more open. They don't feel threatened that you might worsen their circles. My mother had a 6th grade education, and I'm extremely proud of our roots, but the Black upper class looks down on this, whereas Whites rend to see it as a story of triumph. Why Jack and Jill? Because our previously Black neighborhood is far into gentrifying, and we want to connect with other BLACK parents for our children to play with.

Thank you,we see this Social Engineering at play in the UK,unfortunately the WAVE,is so massive, all we try and do is 🏄‍♂️ it,to your point of Starbucks, l or we, see corporate graffiti,tagging a area for gentrification,as l understand it Starbucks are indeed property developers.

Does it ultimately whether the intent is to revitalize rather than push out, if the result is the same?

If you can't have true diversity equity and inclusion in housing, how do you think you can achieve it in the work place? We keep stating the obvious problems without offering any solutions, let alone begin the task of implementing solutions. We change the meanings of words all the time. How about changing the meaning of gentrification for us? To state what a Black form of gentrification would look like, would be much more productive, so what would it look like in your mind? Truly concerned people want to know. Why has there been little economic development in Black communities. What marketable resource is available in all of our communities? Isn't it our culture - the performing and visual artist especially and athletes? So many of us boast of the world loving our music and that we are the pop-culture trend setters of the world, yet why is there no tourist industry for our culture, in our communities? Hip-Hop should/could have been the catalyst or foundation of Black economic/community development, but it has yet to happen, yet in celebrating its 50th anniversary it used the slogan it "Changed The World" - really!? How should it change the world, but not the communities it came out of? This is but one of many examples of the gas lighting we commit on each other/ourselves. Nicole Hannah-Jones receives so much attention and accolades, and rightfully so, for her work on the 1619 Project, but is ignored when it comes to her controversial statements concerning gentrification and school integration. In the youtube video titled 'The Color Of Education', which is 5 years old, she says gentrification is not necessarily a bad thing, for Black people and that Black children would benefit from having White children in their classrooms. She says this near the end, in the question answer segment. kzread.info?search_query=youtube++video+-+Nicole+hanna-jones+-+the+color+of+education. Our problems/situation is not rocket science. We as a group and as individuals, have made significant progress in the quality of our lives, when we have had the attitude that we must be twice as good to get ahead. That saying used to be a common adage among us. The understood extension of that understanding is that we must also be twice as good to ourselves also. Many of us have lost this understanding or just don't value it. It is the attitude of the woke among us, who see all of our problems as being external in the form of racism, in all its forms and none of them internal. If we don't want to or can't integrate into the larger society, as a group and/or as individuals, we must separate/become largely self sufficient. It is as simple as that.

Sounds like a sound Business decision to me

The closed caption at 2:34 needs to be changed... it shows for me as "white apologist".

I'm from Brooklyn. Grew up in Bed-Stuy (Tompkins Houses), lived in Flatbush when my mother moved to buy a coop during the time I went to college; and I lived for a period of time in Park Slope. The elders in Bed Stuy warned us in the 80s, "white folk coming back.!" We saw those crack pipes on Tompkins Avenue and laughed at them. Well, the gentrification in Brooklyn came hard, as they said, and continues to be hard. I saw that when not only the rent going up, but the total changes and over-development in the Slope, before I eventually left to go to the Bronx (where I own an affordable condo in the Parkchester neighborhood!). I saw the "white people ish;" a neighbor wanted me to sign a petition to ban Sunday softball tournaments in MS 51 schoolyard, due to noise and 40oz bottles all over the field (to be honest, the 40oz issue, with bottles all over a schoolyard, was legitimate!). However, the total gentrification and displacement in Brooklyn, as a whole, to be honest, was not as cut and dry. First, a lot of folk are still in public housing, which makes them still safe from displacement. Privatization of the projects has been urban myth forever, and still has yet to happen, on any type of large scale. Second, while there have been a lot of folk who have been "priced-out" of Brooklyn, there are a also lot of home/brownstone and business owners; ones who owned not just the business, but the property. Old Brownstone owners, or their families/estates, are now taking advantage of skyrocketing property values in The Stuy, and are reaping financial benefits. You talked about the Ultrabox, at Auburn. In Brooklyn, there was this club called Frank's. The family of Frank Perkins, who bought the spot in '74, adapted to the changing neighborhood for many years, before they decided, on their own, to cash out, in 2020, to the "gentrifying" price of $15 million! Also, the current black-owned strip of Tompkins Avenue known as Black Girl Row, where there are a number of Black-women owned shops, means that there is a Black gentry contributing to the changes in Brooklyn. And, yes, there are support mechanisms that are in place to keep residents and business owners in Brooklyn; from TAMA (Tompkins Avenue Merchants); community-board politicians (I do know one community board leader). Also, it doesn't hurt to have the US House Minority Leader, Hakim Jeffries, bringing home the bacon from DC to Brooklyn and it's longtime residents. And there are now crackdowns on the illegal practice of deed-steeling, which was happening to old brownstone owners. And, believe it or not, some of the white "gentrifiers" do like some of the old neighborhood spots. The longtime Chinese restaurant Kum Kau blew up, due to gentrification. And some of them Carribean spots, and restaurants such as Negril Brooklyn and Suga Cane (both in Park Slope), have benefited, believe it, or not.

I was one the "gentrifiers" back in the aughts; DC needed to be "gentrified". Why is he resorting to stereotyping about gentrification? He shouldn't insist on nostalgia and he's generalizing about "the old neighborhood" or "hood". I wish he'd admit that most of the neighborhoods that were "gentrified" were rundown or mostly uninhabited. Some of the businesses that closed were not open on a regular basis or the service was bad. Some of the gentrifiers that moved in were arrogant enough to act like they lived in suburbia but some of the people that were already there were rude, unfriendly, and didn't care about the upkeep of their homes; not to mention some of the nasty, rotten clerks that were employed in the local stores. Be realistic: white people may "not belong" in the places that are gentrifying but black people don't stay in lousy neighborhoods either; that's probably why white people move in.

Not sure about the whole "white music" part. I mean, in reality most of the music that those white people enjoy (be it EDM, Rock and Roll, Alternative. etc.) was in one way or another created by Black people.

I grew up around poor white people. They had to live where could afford. None of the white folks I knew could send their kids to private schools. I know several integrated neighborhoods. Is North Carolina different? Racism is an issue here. I just don't see what you're seeing.
