The stuff you're saying doesn't matter, because gentrification in 2015/2016 is not racist. The ghettos were created a long time ago when America was more racist and white people moved away from areas if Black people came in. That was a different time.
In 2016, few urban white people will feel the need to move because a college educated, middle class black person moves into a house or unit next to them.
Like I said earlier: Its only racist if you don't understand it.
You do realize that the events being discussed occurred far more recently than one hundred years ago, right? Millions of people who experienced them are still living.

You missed the point. My point was that I'm focused on what is true in 2016.
100 years ago or 5 years ago.. I don't care. 2016 is all that matters.
Transplants move in for the jobs and jobs alone, you can cookie cutter it all you want but unless you were born and raised you will never care about a neighborhood the same way a native would.
Admittely I do keep in the back of mind that if I take my grandson to watch the Orioles play thar safety does play a factor in how willing I am to come to your town and spend money.
