You shouldn’t edge out into an intersection when there is even a chance that you would get caught if traffic ahead of you stop, but like IndianaJoan said, most of us do.

That’s the general problem a lot of people have with gentrifiers. They move in for the “local flavor” but then turn around negatively change the neighborhood in the static, white boringness they moved out of instead engaging their POC neighbors and trying to fit in.

How diluted would the message of BLM be if they walked in a pride parade where cops also got to march?

This is why people hate BLM. Disrupting my parade will get you press, but it’s not going to convince me, or anyone else, to vote for your candidates. Just the opposite: The more they do shit like this, the less candidates are going to want anything to do with them.

Yes, they were gay police.

I will. It’s stupid to blame people for moving into a neighborhood instead of blaming the factors that forced them into that neighborhood in the first place.

Because fighting has worked so well for the neighborhoods we’re moving into, right?

The Memorial Day Celebration that doesn’t allow white people in?

Doesn’t matter. Teachers are fired for saying stupid shit all the time. Imagine if she had called for killing all Muslims or something stupid like that. You and everyone else here would be calling for her to be fired, and the school would probably agree.

Fuck you. I’m tired of this narrative that gentrification is a bunch of white people going “This predominantly black neighborhood looks nice, lets move there and change everything about it.” If I could afford to live somewhere that wasn’t once an abandoned crackhouse, don’t you think I would? My choices are between…

You make packing up your life and moving half way across the country to an area where you have no job and no social circle sound so easy.

This. Rent control is great for those of you lucky enough to have gotten your apartment 20 years ago. Those of us looking for a new one though are fucked over by it so hard it’s pretty much impossible to find anything.

America’s too decentralized for that kind of thing, same reason we can’t have massive cross-country light rails. Nobody wants their quiet neighborhood turned into a bustling metropolis, and the people who already live in a neighborhood have all the power when it comes to zoning laws, approving new developments, and…

I don’t know how I feel about being a true landlord.

I was thinking of moving into a 600 sqft condo all to myself, but then it sold for 190k.

Leprechaun In The Hood.

I finally paid off my student loans yesterday. I’ve had enough money for a while, but I was always worried about what would happen if I lost my job or really needed that money. But yesterday, I decided to take a leap of faith and just pay them all off at once and never worry about them again.

This times a million, and plus feminism as well. It seems like any time liberals try to form a group or a movement, it gets split off in a million different directions. Remember when they wanted The March for Science to be about racism because some scientists are black, or when The international Womens Strike platform…

Why don’t people have a responsibility to understand the fare they are buying?

That seems pretty fair considering he never actually hurt anyone, never intended to hurt anyone (or at least not anyone real), and pled out.
