Do Rich Blacks Support White Gentrification
Do Rich Blacks Support white Gentrification? Gentrification is the buying and renovation of houses and stores in deteriorated urban neighborhoods by wealthier individuals, which in effect improves property values but also can displace low-income families and small businesses. How do we stop this, well the answer is very simple wealthy blacks should be buying and renovating houses and stores in deteriorated urban neighborhoods and in return hire and train those from the community to help rebuild the community. This is how you give back. You can rent your business to anyone but you must own the property in order for the money to circulate back into the community. Until wealthy blacks stop buying into the notion that black communities are worthless white gentrification in urban American will continue to move forward. It's something how people from other cultures can come to the community set up shop and make money but blacks who are in the position to do the same thing chooses not to do anything. We will hold our clinched fists in the air, march, sing and cry when a life is taken but do nothing when people are forced to live in such deplorable conditions.
