this is called

'gentrification' by the duplicitous, deceitful and predatory capitalists. I call it ameriKKKan racism at its most hateful, uncaring and murderous best. The "barbecue becky's" are living a racist's dream now. I just am amazed at the noise of the backlash of white ameriKKKans to a black man being POTUS.

I am truly not surprised though. I knew it was always here.

The unprecedented words and congressional action/obstruction by the NPA aka GOP used to describe and obstruct a first class FLOTUS and POTUS during President Obama's presidency told me all I needed to know. AmeriKKKa will always be ameriKKKa. Brown skinned minorities, AA, Muslim, Hispanic people(s) will be fighting for justice, equality and respect here and it seems in all white majority nations, till the goddamn end of time.

This article is a prime reflection of ameriKKKa NOW and as always since the slaughter and decimation of the First-american Nations by the european settler of amerika..

I’ve seen it wipe out black communities up close here in Detroit.

Gentrification was partly responsible for the lead up to the riots back in the 1960’s here in Detroit.

great description. "Weaponized white supremacy". No doubts here. I have a friend who was in the Cincinnati fight on this very action by white supremacists. It was a vicious fight. With so-called Cincinnati progressives and liberals fighting the pushed out AA as ungrateful ect. Of course a lot of them wanted a piece of the action. Yet don't get me wrong, A lot of white progressives and liberals did also fight with the AA subject to 'eminent domain' called by the city. All a person has to do is put a search on.
