Spike Lee’s Amazing Rant Against Gentrification: ‘We Been Here!’

G,the actor Victor McLaughlin was a sparring partner to Jack Johnson.

 

The president of mexico dissed Black people...most mexicans are so racist they'd make a louisiana cracker blush.

I'd take them and their fake SS#'s with a grain of salt.

 

Mr. flaminghetero,
To advance the understanding of your uniquely interracial audience, please clarify for us what is meant by the term "louisiana cracker" ?

 

lets get some popcorn and koolaid....it gonna get good

 

Dude is racist and ignorant as fuck.

 

Did I step on your corns negro???.

If you don't know what a louisiana cracker is then you truly are a lost cause....a sold out whitewashed one at that.

I blame those that raised you.

 

If you think I'm racist then you don't what racism really is.

 

What did he say exactly?

 

yep. you said something racist...you are a racist.

 

Can we get back on topic,please?

The idea of "buying" a home in this economy is reserved for people who are richer, more responsible, and luckier than you. For you, the average American, the only choice is to rent. Which is good, because they're building rentals faster than you can say "But will you allow my dog, Baxter?"

Traditionally, the people that build new buildings for people to live in would build some to "sell," for people with money to "buy," and some to "rent," for people who can barely scrape together a few bucks to keep themselves off the street. (A very slight exaggeration.) Nowadays though, according to the latest numbers in the Wall Street Journal, builders are building a far higher proportion of rentals than usual—about one third of all residential units, the highest level in 40 years. Why? Because of trends.

The move toward apartment construction reflects the convergence of several trends. Mortgage credit is still tight. Also, Americans have seen muted wage gains, and others have high student-debt loads, forcing people who otherwise would have bought homes to rent instead.

At the same time, as the job market improves, larger numbers of young adults are leaving their parents' homes and forming their own households—adding more to the demand for rentals.
A double-ended trend convergence: on the bottom, grown ass Americans who should by all rights be able to buy a home by now cannot buy a home, because they are too poor; and on the top, dripping down like stalactites, god damn millennials are getting real jobs again and moving out into their own places. The result is that both god damn kids and grown ass people are all competing for rentals. So it's nice they're building more, because who wants to get in a bidding war with a god damn kid over a god damn shitty rental apartment, of all things?

Renting is our fate. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you can get off that heroin.

 

agreed...renting is something that should be temporary. i think gentrification is good economically and socially...however, it can be an indictment on city management at times due to not evenly applying serves,

 

u are a better man than i am.....u have the patience of ghandi

 

I am NOT a better man than you.....You have always had a better prescription of toughness for dealing with this man and MS......And trust me, the forum quietly appreciates what you try to do........

 

U got serious needs and issues if you don't what a louisiana cracker is.

For one...a louisiana cracker is a racist that would totally against this site and everything it stands for.

 

If i'm Captain America...

You are Sgt. Mexico...:smt043

A Black man that can't see how MILLIONS of uninsured ..unemployed...uneducated...illegals hurts our health care...education...and job market...is a truly a mystery.

This is what happens when people allow their politicians to do their thinking for them.

I bet if they were white you'd see the light.:smt006

 

well i appreciate you. u give balance. sometimes i shoot first then 2 fucking more times before i cool out or even ask questions.

 

Politicians and especially corporations cause far more harm to our overall well being than Mexicans..

BTW, you do realize that Mexicans are not the only illegal immigrants in this country, right? There are plenty of European 'illegals' here as well. I like how you hear 'illegal immigrant' and immediately jump to Mexicans.

 

Next time you throw a party I'm going to show up uninvited with several of my homies and kin-peoples and we go' eat-up and drank- up and feel-up every gotdamn thing in sight....and we won't leave either....and you better not say shit about it............. at the risk of being a RANK HYPOCRITE..

You do realize the VAST majority of the illegal immigrant population are mexican.

You do realize that Black people suffer through periods of intense immigration...not that you give a damn but you do realize.

Please explain how importing millions of unemployed..uninsured...uneducated.... people benefits our.... standard of living...water supply...job market...educational system...and health care systems.

Please help me to see the light.

Then help mexico(and every other nation on earth) see the light and stop deportations and open their border to uneducated starving hoards,just because "they wanna' work"..and "better themselves"

Mexico is one of the wealthiest countries on earth.

They should be housing...healing..educating..and employing their own people................not us.

We've worked too hard to get our fair share to just sit by and watch it all go to any tom dick and julio with a fake SS# and a growling belly.

Mexican illegals even access TO THE 14 AMMENDMENT.....!!!!

Since you like 'em so much ..

Why don't you ask them if Mexico should stop enforcing it's immigration laws and put the country up for grabs to ANYBODY that can walk...crawl...roll or ooze into THEIR country.

They would say to you the SAME THING I've been saying:smt043:smt043:smt043

They would sound more like me than you.

You better wake up fool....this is the ONLY country we have....those illegals got theirs...and OURS.

Forever

Now try to put your hands on his and watch what happens...:smt006
