Due to GENTRIFYING DEVILS, I- city girl number ONE, now live in a suburb. Ain't that a bitch? Now, this is my first one bedroom, so I am super fucking geeked over that. And I'm literally 5 minutes outside the city. But it's not fair!!!!!!
For real, y'all. Once again, Black (and Brown) people have sat back and let the white man come and take what he wanted and leave us with the scraps. Some of us were honestly powerless, some were railroaded and bamboozled, others didn't give enough of a fuck to do anything about it. I wish I had done....something. What, I don't know, but something. I was in high school when gentrification phenomenon became crazy obivious to me in my hometown (Chicago). As my neighborhood was racially and economically mixed (on some gangbangers meet college deans meet back of the house restauraunt staff meet Louis Farrahkhan type stuff- LOVE IT!), the effect there wasn't as profound. Although some apartments went condo leaving some of the lower-income peeps out cold. When I came to DC in 2002, I could tell that the neighborhood surrounding Howard was hood, but slowly changing. When I moved in to a dorm that was in a more residential area of the neighborhood (2003), it seemed like I saw new white people moving in every day.
There are neighborhoods here that have been almost wiped clean of us. It hurts me to my heart. THEY got sick of suburban living (because it fucking sucks) and have forced us in to it. I feel my blood BOILING when I see a white couple happily walking down Georgia Avenue, or a a few white bitches laughing it up in Soul Veg (note- why do these fools always smile at me? Bitch, you are the reason I have to drive from Maryland to work. Fuck you. You will never get anything but the ice grill/eye roll combo from me, sometimes served with a "why the fuck are you looking at me", if I'm in the mood. Especially the faux bohemian "hipsters". Y'all are sooooo counter culture, so leftist, yet you are nothing but a bunch of gentrifying devils like the rest. So stop SWAGGER JACKING and get a damn Abercrombie t-shirt and keep it REAL!
Gentrifiers: I hope all the bad things in the world happen to you and only you. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
