Why black hoods look so bad!!! Why is nobody talking about this!!!!!!!

[Cannibal]

I was talking about this with Emmett Till, going to a white business in the South to buy candy just hanging out playing checkers.

Come on now, there aren't even the basic simple black businesses in these areas. You mean to tell me, we can't fry chicken or cook hamburgers to sell? What about a basic grocery store with a few items, you don't need an Amazon type of store. What about home building?

It is no wonder that a black athlete, entertainer, buys these white owned companies when they can start their own. This is a red flag. They get upset and the next thing you know, somebody is trying to kill them.

Many of these fools will spends days chasing me up and down the street but can't muster the energy to build something like this.

Back in those days whites didn't allow for too much competition from blacks. Opening a store on the black side of town was done, but... That white hate is a bitch when Jethroes grocery took a financial hit. White inspectors were harsh, white police would probably harass patrons, white distributors overcharged probably or didn't deliver or didn't do biz with us. Destroying any prospect of generational wealth.

We see some of the same shit today. Higher interest loans or no loans. Harsher inspectors. But I agree, that was yesteryear. We lost that spark of hope. We got Indians, Pakistanis, and Asians doing just fine. But they lean on each other and support each other because it's a huge group effort.

Today blacks hate working service jobs. We got too much pride for shoe repair, or cleaners, or carpet cleaning. You'll find some folks doing it, but not a lot. Then when we do take those jobs and then deliver a poor customer experience because a lot of young folk see the jobs as temporary and give as little effort as possible. Again not everybody, but we all ran into mofos with shitty attitudes behind the counter. It's a shitty cycle.

My uncle ran a business in a black neighborhood for 50 years. It can be done, but he was committed, took no for an answer and he hated white people, didn't rent to them either. He was from a different era and from Alabama so he was cut different.

Not trying to mk excuses, just saying black people had some road blocks

I was in the hood yesterday, my girl drove us and our car passed another car with black people in it when we saw an empty plastic bottle was thrown out of the passenger window.

I wonder what her thoughts about that are today?

It was a good thing you were in the hood at that exact time — you wouldn’t have anything to contribute to the thread.

 

[veritech]

As everyone should for their OWN areas.

Thing is, people don’t want you on the abandoned properties cleaning up and you can face litigation for doing so.

Do you live in the US?

I am from Detroit. I have lived all around the country. I now live in Memphis.

You and a few other people in this thread need to stop pretending like there are not plans, options and activities that Black people can perform that will improve their neighborhood situations.

I have lived in areas where Black people have owned the homes and land and some of them still don't clean or maintain the property. It pissed me off but it didn't stop me from maintaining my areas and in some cases the adjacent areas.

I think that this is a teaching issue. When I was a kid I literally kept the block clean. I shoveled the snow for the public side walk for the entire block and cleared the leaves from the lawns of the elderly people on the block. My parents instilled in me to take care of my neighborhood and neighbors. And I still do.

When I first moved to Memphis I lived in a rural area that was primarily Black people. And niggas that actually owned their property would drive or walk down road and just throw their trash anywhere. And that was their community with property that they owned! It really pissed me off. And they would see me outside picking up trash and they would still do it. At least they knew better than to litter on my property.

These niggas don't care. And the property owners of the areas know that. If there were some organized Black people with a plan that cared the shit wouldn't be happening.

The victim vibe in this thread is disgusting.

 

[Shadow]

The victim vibe in this thread is disgusting.

I don’t there is a victims vibe at all.

To adress your other post: Everything you said has already been stated by me and others in this entire conversation. Education, sense of pride and ownership and even people just being fucking nasty.

The point still remains that people can get into trouble by doing cleanup of abandoned properties because more than likely they aren’t abandoned. I will not tell anyone they have to endanger their own bottom lines because I ain’t gonna cover their expenses if they get sued or injured.

We have people dumping their trash all over public roads and highways. It’s not solely a black people thing. My own wife used to toss shit out in the interstate until I checked her ass. We are all guilty, but that doesn’t mean I can make people do something they just ain’t going to do without constantly being watched.

 

[Gods_Debris]

so if one does not own the property they should let the litter and poor habits continue.

if i lived there i would at a minimum keep the area i occupied and the immediate vicinity swept, cleaned and maintained.

I'm sorry I don't feel like engaging in a point-for-point on this subject over text because I really want to bring logical analysis into the chat but I think this will drag on and your position is clearly deeply personally psychologically entrenched.

There’s a reason why billions of dollars are spent each yr to upgrade infrastructure.. no matter how much you clean shit eventually breaks down and things need to be upgraded. Just last week a whole fucking parking lot collapsed in Manhattan cause the building was old and not upgraded. No matter how much you sweep and mop a floor shit will break down eventually if you don’t try to fix the infrastructure and repair it. In nyc slumlords would not repair nothing and had old buildings that needed to be upgraded and they refused to fix them.. bricks need to be replaced, floors and walls need to be replaced, when the heating system fucks up it needs to be fixed, elevators need to be repaired and upgraded, building codes should be met, if a slumlord dosent do none of this how are you blaming the occupants for this? Literally this went on in many areas in ny and other places around the us.. it’s funny how nigs will completely ignore this and blame the civilians and not the slumlords. But let you be in a plane that isn’t properly upkeep and a accident happens you would be the first ready to sue and blame the company for not doing their job of keeping the planes up to code

Maintenance requires capital and “capitalists” ain’t wasting that to no Negro’s benefit. And if a Colored person implies he can get you the economic equity you need to thrive, they have actually sold you out to the capitalists. This isn’t a hypothesis, it’s damn near a science.

Imagine a city offering 10 year tax abatements for million dollar homes, then raising property taxes for current tax payers, and claiming god knows what I’m their commercials.

 

[roots69]

So much fuckery, so much justification for

REPARATIONS !!!

We really have to start teaching our own children..they get over because

we allowed them to dumb us down in their indoctrination centers we call schools...

we literally have people who want to replace us, teaching our children..

Make it make sense!!!

AINT THAT THE DAMN TRUTH!!

We are having two different conversations.

I agree the slum lords need to be held accountable for their abuse and neglect of their properties.

Black people need to stop giving these slum lords their resources and move. Why stay there?

This is way more complex than the slum lords are doing us bad and we are powerless to do anything about it.

yes, it is deeply personally and psychologically entrenched that I will refuse to walk outside of my house everyday and just look at trash and poor upkeep and not do anything about it.

and worse case scenario is that if i don't own any property and my efforts are not making any changes i would be moving.

I agree. But we were specifically talking about Black people.

And I do not litter. My parents taught me better. SMH.

Poor people didn’t really have tons of options of places to go.. kinda like a person with 3 bucks dosent have a lot of food options to buy groceries or go to many restaurants. So asking a poor person why they don’t just move seems kinda naive. Also when majority of jobs were controlled by white people it wasn’t a lot of options of employment. Remember 1 of the first thing they asked on those applications was race. So some off the back were denied opportunities or had their applications thrown out due to being black.. so lack of employment opportunities and lack of options of areas to move to. All part of the system to keep certain people down. It’s why this thing called systematic racism exist. This goes back decades ago. So if you don’t know what poverty was in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and even 80s was don’t ask the question why did these black people give them resources. It was go to the rare location that allowed them to stay or live in the streets. I think you know which 1 most people would take given the choice

 

[jawnswoop]

The black hoods looks so bad because our people keep voting for the wrong clowns to change the hood but never do.

Our people gotta want better for their neighborhood to take care of it. So, our people gotta hold themselves accountable as well.

Investing in the hood instead of moving out of it would help also because there's so many rundown houses and and empty lots that need houses on it and house that needs to be rehabbed.

So, it takes a collective to get all these things done. You don't got to move to a white suburbs to be able enjoy your own environment if to take care of it and make improvements in it.

You can’t buy what’s not being sold. The thread is about companies/ individuals that own lots of property and areas for generations that are not for sale, who have an agenda to not upgrade and keep conditions remaining negative. Let’s call it what it is slumlords agenda.. this is the history of America that people like to not acknowledge or want to forget.. real estate has a lot of slumlords period.. now big companies are trying to take that old state of mind and buy up a bunch of new shit so there’s even less real estate available in america to own

now you are getting to my complex point.

u right. they don't have anywhere to go and we know white people are not helping them do shit.

u right. there is a system in place to keep them there

u right. it is a generational problem.

so a culture of improving themselves and getting the fuck up out there needs to happen.

and we as a culture need to stop celebrating hood culture and struggling. that shit is dumb.

and for the record i would never live in NYC. and i know this convo is about way more than NY.

i never understood the desire to live in such a confined space with so many other people.

u might as well be living in a glass ant farm. it's just people on top of people.

i even refuse to live in a multistory apartment building.

no thanks.

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

I'm having to call the city every other month because someone started dumping trash at various times in the alley behind the houses on our street. I don't think it's my neighbors, but it's definitely an eyesore. It's not usually right at my house, but several months ago, someone did dump trash in the bed of my brothers truck.

Can you get some security cameras posted up there?? Or close the alley up with a gate or summin, that shit

will have all types of critters on your property if not checked..

Millions of people equal millions of potential customers, networking outlets, connections, opportunities, etc.. many cultures ,exposed to many things, way more career opportunities and jobs that pay higher where zero college is needed. Night life, food options, variety of females, major companies and bizz hub, 1 of the most visited places on the planet on a yearly basis.. so much more

A lot of people sold grandma's house and left their house looking like shit that those companies or CACs brought it for pennies on the dollar. But there's still plenty of cheap houses that can be brought especially those with tax lien and sheriff sale properties out there.

How many people you know that just have 10s to hundreds of thousands just lying around where they can just start buying these properties? It’s easy to give a homeless person leftovers, hand me down clothes, a few dollars not so easy to find plenty of people with big pockets to buy mad real estate. Think what I just said was the easy thing to do and yet most people don’t even do that and why we still have an homeless problem for decades

You can only vote for who’s on the ballot. The people on the ballot are financially supported by the people with capital. You can’t keep asking what’s wrong with the system without understanding that the dysfunction is part of the program. Government is for the people. And it works as described. You just continue to believe that you’re a human being despite all the evidence that you’re not.

I believe or feel if there was a pool where people could put their money together that they could buy a lot of properties together but then again black people don't trust each other when it comes to money.

You can’t be a slumlord without a slum. And in capitalism, slums are the basic component of life. Think of slums like a nitrogen.

You can do whatever you want, unless the capitalists share your value of the properties, you guys are going to be trading useless things. If you do have some value and you’re proximate to white people, they will burn it down. Black people in America are living in a world without fire while at the same time is the fire.

 

[34real]

That doesnt happen without the process of gentrification for the most part

This isn't true,My neighborhood was thriving before gentrification,I remember my area being 90% black,still was black owned business's.Gentrification is doing nothing but turning homes into rental properties which is nothing but a problem.

 

[RunawaySlave]

This is a necessary discussion. But it also needs to be had at your local community board meetings. I've gone to these meetings for a long time and the one thing I notice is how quick everyone is gone once they're over. How can we have a community meeting if there is no sense of community? These meetings are not mandatory, so I believe the one thing we all have in common is that we WANT to be there

 

[Last Dayz]

[SPECTRE1]

This are easy to setup businesses, than you slowly vertically integrate. Right now it is 100% white owned businesses, than begging them for a job. Than you desperately chase after me with some scheme to bolster your rank in their hierarchy, promote contract manufactured products made overseas., peddle going to college/loading up on debt to younglings. It is fucking sad.

I had a couple of fools provide racial cover, blurt out something I am working on right when I am about to release it or slight before. If this is the life you want to live cannibalizing other people than be my guest.

There is much more wealth and economic power being the owner than just being an employee. The sad thing they can make more money eminent domain to the city than selling to a black owned business. If I was staying in the U.S., I might setup something but since I am deal with crying WS chasing after, I am going to have to leave. Not worth the terrorism and dealing with their idiot behavior.
