Hilton Head, South Carolina, resident Josephine Wright is in a legal battle with a developer over land that has been in her family since the Civil War. CNN's Dianne Gallagher has the story. #CNN #News
They want to offer her $39K but planning on building townhomes that’s going to be worth millions. She is right. That’s an insult to her intelligence. This is so disgusting.
A $39,000 offer to buy land from up under an unsuspecting elderly woman, and then attempting to drown her in legal fees as retaliation should be criminal. This is outright disgusting.
That is stealing and outright shameless. Fight Granny to the end of your life. Keep it all in the family. Far too much land has been taken from us. Millionaires and billionaires join this fight with our great grandmother.
Try spending 8 years in jail for trespassing on your own property. This heirs property is a serious issue in manipulating poor minority landowners. Silver Dollar Road on Prime is a must see!!!! God bless her!!
Nobody’s come face-to-face to talk to her because they believe they can bully her and steal her land because of the big name and the big money and she’s an old lady. Stand strong grandma!
Well God is not going to march like BLM does, that's why he created us to march and protest for one another. Then God will do the rest, we have to take action to protect her from these corporate monsters.
In Jesus mighty name ,yes she most certainly is fighting for us all , from these Opressors and I too in agreement ask God for victory in her fight,Thank You Father God 🙏🏾 Amen!!!
@@pcproffyoh, no need to worry. Because they’re just going to let people go, or decrease wages of their staff, so the billionaires can still buy their umpteeth yacht.
Hearing stories such as this does nothing but augment my disdain for corporations. They’re but concerned about their “bottom line,” which is more than disheartening. Their mindset is, screw the connection this lady has to that land and the comfort it’s yet provides. The fact that many, especially corporations, put financial gain above all else is disgusting. There are respectable ways to make money. By attempting to harass this elderly woman out of her property, they’ve don’t nothing but illustrate how heartless people can be in the pursuit of enlarging their bank accountants.
Josephine Wright, Hilton Head native died at 94 on January 7, 2024. 😟 She was a strong woman. Tyler Perry is going to build her a home as he said and give the keys to her family. 👏🏽
Not only is this a centuries-old family homestead, which is bad enough, it’s a billion dollar developer going up against a low income woman who is almost 100 years old. They are wrong on all levels.
That's why in the end, they have bad luck, fires, and hurricanes! No good luck will ever come to these greedy land developers, or their offsprings! Leave the lady, and her land alone😢
She’s been dealing with these people all her life. I can’t imagine having to deal with them during the Civil Rights era and in 2023. It’s like it never ends.
@@Brii98it’s truly evil. the land and houses are unique and have character and a soul, these developments and corporations come through and raze everything put up copy/paste houses for the worst kind of people to move in… is nothing sacred anymore??
These companies need to be publicly boycotted. Not only are they trying to drown her in legal fees and be forced to sell, they’re simultaneously running the clock
I’m not from America but it seems like there should be regulations that restrict companies from using the legal system to smother citizens in legal fees. This case is a perfect example of the legal system being used to bully and harass.
@@DragonflyDivaMuse bureaucracy is an unfortunately necessary evil that Does establish the parameters all parties are meant to follow, protecting those involved when it’s done right. However, that’s the kicker - when it’s done Right. Unscrupulous lawyers, loopholes and hidden agendas, are just a few of the things that corrupt such agreements.
This is so infuriating!! The prices they offered, the audacity of the lawsuit and scare tactics, and above all, always gentrifying an area that needs the trees and space. Leave the area and that woman alone
@@zu0832 Agree. But like, I grasp that humans need places to live. I don't want to throw everyone under the bus. And I think we can agree, this kind of developer is among the worst.
People tease certain families for not having land and generational wealth but leave out the truths about this predatory behavior. She is an amazing human being. ❤️
Remember when biden said POOR KIDS are just as bright and talented as WHITE KIDS 😂 insinuating that all minorities are perceived as broke and dumb... maybe in the circles he runs in, but not in 2023... biden went to the grand wizard (of the kkk) funeral to pay his respects to him... you guys realize they use minorities as pawns right? More people who feel like they dont have a voice, finally gets attention, who do you think theyll vote for? That goes for minorities, gays, and illegal immigrants. Its a simple yet effective strategy to get votes. Go back and see if the clintons supported gay marriage in the 90s or if biden supported racial integration in the 70s lol they flip and flop based on how they think they can get votes.. ever heard of the 1994 crime bill? Hillary clinton called young african americans super predators and said they should be locked up regardless of age.
This is just one of many ways ADOS/FBA have been treated unfairly from a financial standpoint. David Drake, also known as Dave The Slave, created pottery that his enslaver enriched himself from. White Americans still to this day, buy and sell Mr. Drakes pottery for tens of thousands of dollars (one piece sold for $369,900 in 2020). This figurative smash and grab has been carried out on our people for many generations.
They do the research an send pittily mediocre checks to ALL the descendants then those who oppose hav no recourse. They BEEN taking lands from black ppl by imminent domain & adverse possession this just a new tactic...
That is terrible! it is quite similar to what was going on in Hawaii with Mark Zuckerberg's 2016 lawsuit against some of his neighbors in Hawaii; he wanted their land they didn't want to sell it and it started a big mess he finally rescinded the lawsuit I believe in 2017 but it's amazing what the greedy can do. SMH
She didn’t make it to 93 years old by being dumb. She’s right to want to preserve land that is rightfully hers. Living there in that peace and beauty may be another reason why she is still with us at 93. What do they want to do, stick her in a townhome? No way! I applaud this woman! The developers need to stop encroaching on her!
I’m glad to see the overwhelming support this woman is getting. Only by standing together can we defeat the greed of these corporations and billionaires!
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2Didn't the church use its influence and power to move people off their land in favor of government entities and themselves throughout history?
It’s so annoying that this 93 year old woman has to spend the last of her years being on edge and fighting a corporation for the sake of her children and their children, when they know damn well they could just leave her alone, if they weren’t trying to bully her into debt
And now it could bankrupt the development company from the delays. I would say she is winning and in the end, it will cost the developer literally millions of dollars. If I were an investor in this development, I would be turning on the developer and suing him for ALL of my investment and costs for starting the development without previously purchasing ALL of the land needed. Usually, when a developer does it this way, they are unscrupulous in their dealings and should be avoided at all costs. The longer this goes on, the more chances of that happening. In reality, there will be people involved with this development who will go broke and/or could end up dying mysteriously or going missing because not all of the investors are legit people. These are notoriously great ways to "launder" dirty money. My wife and I invest in numerous developments all around the world every year. We have been involved in deals with Drug Cartels, Russian Mob, etc. While we have no direct connection to them, it is disturbing nonetheless that our money is tied up with their money in different developments. Most of all of our developments are Commercial in nature and often are in areas of blight in larger cities where old industrial buildings are torn down and replaced with our Commercial buildings, usually Office Towers. With the city stopping the development process, the developer will either have to make some very large and expensive changes to his plans or if they are lucky they will end up purchasing this woman's property at such a large amount of money that it will more than likely cripple the development and stop it or scale it down tremendously.
How else would they get land for dirt cheap? We are talking about corporations and companies here. They only care to make their shareholders happy at the expense of everything else.
Fighting for land that's going to be underwater because of climate change is pretty pointless. Her great-grandchildren will never get to use that land if left-wingers are correct.
@@richardgibson2158 These are rarely big corps but usually small corps with one or two people running them. They are only corps for tax and security purposes. Then they get a bunch of investors to back them and if they are legit, EVERYONE is happy and makes lots of money. If they are scammers, the investors usually end up getting railed and the developer slinks away after getting a lot of money.
Absolutely upsetting! So glad this old lady is fighting back so hard and not letting these people intimidate her into giving up what’s hers. Keep fighting lady🎉
How do these developers think people aren’t smart enough to see what they’re doing. They’re suing her for bs reasons hoping to bankrupt her into selling her land. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
@@dikhurtz2406 I've been told I should watch that show lol I'm way behind on a lot of series. Was gonna finish breaking bad a while back but ended up having a pal just tell me what happened cause dudes got photographic memory for shit like that 😂😂
Putting this lady through so much in hopes she will die from it and they automatically take over her land. Shame on them. I pray to god they reap what they sow
Rest in Peace Grandma Josephine. She died Jan 7, 2024. She had 98 children, grands, and greats who are still here to love her, and to remember the countless family memories made at her home.
📢 I agree, however it's not what the elite want. They want us to be divided. Too bad some of these 🤡🤡🤡 harbor much hate in their hearts to see the obvious.
93-years old and fighting a developer? God Bless her and her strength. That’s incredible. How sad that she has to spend her final years like this. Thoughts and prayers to her and her well being.
NO ONE, and certainly not a 93 yr old should have to face this BS. The names of every investor and corporate officer in this vulture developer must be known. I’d also say that this would never, ever have gotten this far without the assent of local government.
YOU KIDDING? the corporations are taking over EVERYTHING! they've already taken over our govt, our police, our courts, our jails, our home deliveries, the internet, youtube, your cellphone, medical care, the lawyer industry and mortgage companies and rental properties. THEY'RE creating a NATIONAL HOUSING CRISIS as we speak. they're buying up rental properties, putting RIDICULOUS demands and restrictions on renters and DRIVING UP rental costs across the country. thanks to the corporations our prisons are over flowing and homelessness IS SKYROCKETING! we live in a corporate police-state. we're not ruled by govt but by corporations who care NOTHING about democracy, human rights or ethics - ONLY THEY'RE OWN PROFITS!
The fudge?! The company wanted to purchase her property for less than 40k????? That is a slap in the face to that grandma and everyone else before her that fought for that land…my prayers go out to her and her family to win and get through this!
Look what happened to poor folks of Maui who didn't comply. Four years earlier these folks fought with the same devilopers and fire, four years later now homeless and families members died for corporate business. Who runs the country politicians or building industry. Old architects of the past also had talent. These old houses don't blow away in the wind. Now buildings lack craftsmanship and are an outrageous fortune. Leave our old Ancestral homes alone. Devilopers tear down your own land and homes. Stop bullying average working class American. Find a different career. Perhaps, most of these land grabbing harassers need to loose their licences once and for all. Shameless industry.
@@devinstallworth1558 Where she lives, it's the middle of nowhere and the property isn't worth anything. When the developer puts expensive houses around hers, it will be worth something but she probably won't be able to pay the increased taxes. She lost that home when all her neighbors cashed in and she refused so all that's left is waiting for her to sell it before she loses it from either imminent domain or because she can't afford the higher taxes she's going to be hit with. If her neighbors had banded together with her, they could have all kept the land, but clearly being the last holdout leaves her with only the court of public sentiment on her side, and only as long as the media covers it. Being that this is a minor feel good story, it's likely to never be reported on again and in a year or two she won't own the property.
I hope she wins her counter suit and the developers complaint is thrown out! How absolutely disgusting! She’s an intelligent woman, we should all be like her!
If she is so intelligent she should have had her land surveyed along time ago, she will probably be ordered to move her trailer onto her property line.
@lhl9010 Often times if one party (party a) builds a structure (even a fence) that encroaches onto the neighboring property, and the neighboring property owner doesn't do anything about it for a long time, that piece of the land becomes Party A's land legally. Idk about that particular jurisdiction but it's common in the US and I'd bet that porch and everything has been there long enough to make it her land. In Virginia it's covered under the adverse possession doctrine for example.
@@justbgNo, it’s not a bot. Many people are just genuinely surprised at how well spoken she is. Many people can have the same thought, that isn’t uncommon.
Don’t give up don’t give up don’t give up your 93. I stand with this woman and her family.! they could make the plans around her. They do whatever they want. They don’t have to push her out.
Thankfully Tyler Perry to the rescue! He was going to build her a new home but sadly she passed away earlier this month. He's still building the house and giving her family the keys - keeping it in the family thankfully
Legal bullying exactly like this happens every day and has for decades. Especially directed towards elderly people because they know they won’t put up a fight. My grandmothers neighbor tried to bully her out of the beach they shared, little did he know that sweet old woman had millions of dollars ready to fight. I’m glad this particular instance was recognized. Things need to change
It's relatively sad that this precious woman❤ had to pass away in an ongoing situation that probably put her to her death. Some people just don't know how to leave well enough alone They should have just let her rest and enjoy her life She earned that right❤️....... I wouldn't want to be a part of anything that would do that type of harm to my elders or anybody else for that matter
@@shineayandrews1869Maybe because if they had RECORDS then that means they paid for their PAST crimes in some way, however the police do not get that same treatment for the crimes they commit and it's weird how non blk ppl hide behind fake pages using the n word but be quiet like church mice with it in blk ppl faces.
@@Christine_FindlayIf you need the answer to that then you're slower than sloths too. If the person had a past RECORD then obviously their debt was ALREADY paid to society and we just want the very ppl upholding the laws punished fairly like everyone tf else who commits crimes, unless y'all think the police are always right and are above crimes and sin because of a mf badge.
These developers are disgusting, bullying a 93 year old woman by form of legal fees should be prosecuted, this is harassment and downright cruel behaviour. Their really are some very nasty humans in this world that will do anything to fill their pockets. These developers and everyone part of this project making the later years of a 93 year old ladies life miserable and stressful unnecessarily so should hold your head in shame. The developers probably thought she was an easy target but the support given to this woman is heartwarming. I hope for once this lady wins to show that being good and doing the right thing prevails over greed and cruelty.
It's not harrasment, more of being a greedy developer. There's no way she's gonna accept 39k. If they really wanted and needed the land, they should offer MUCH more than that. I mean, if you think you're gonna make millions, how abt you give her at least a chunk of what you're gonna earn? If they didn't intend to get this much hate and weren't trying to be greedy, they better get out or give her more.
As someone from South Carolina who had to move because I couldn’t afford to live, keep freaking fighting. These land developers are greedy and evil and they’re pushing us out.
You not being able to afford to live there is not the same or even partially relatable to having your whole culture dismantled, land stolen and family abused in multiple ways. We're constantly being taken from but you dont want to give us any reparations? And you will Never know how that feels. So please be happy with what you have, Because WE paid with our Blood and Sorrows for you to have it. You're welcome.
@@joseph_the_human You honestly think this is only being done to black homeowners??? Are you really that naive and brainwashed?? You actually think that you're being targeted like that??? They don't give 2 💩's what color you are, if your in the way of making them money, their taking you down!! Stop being a victim!! No one is doing anything to you! And you need to get up off your butt and make your own money!! Stop trying to get in the pockets of white people that had nothing to do with s l a v e r y!! Let me ask you, what about the black slave owners??? Huh!! You know the ones that had slaves first?? What about their families paying reparations?? Do they get off Scott free because their b l a c k??? Doesn't seem quite Fair now, does it??
I'm glad to see that she has help with her legal costs. These people are such bullies. The encroachment claim is bull. If there is any, it goes back a long time before the company acquired their land. Them suing for "loss of enjoyment" is a pathetic, bully tactic. They pushed through with the project, despite not owing her property right in the middle. That only makes her land MORE valuable. I hope she is awarded aggravated damages, enough to rebuild a much better home, totally on her property, for her all her decedents to enjoy.

What’s the point of having a Heirs law if they can ignore it whenever they want our land? Those are some immoral, greedy disgusting developers, shame on them for the pettiness of her satellite dish and shed being on their side of the property line. Leave this lady and her husband’s families land alone!!! Keep fighting ma’am , we are with you 100000 percent!!!’
How do you imagine the Heirs law is being ignored? The problem isn't that. The problem is because you might end up in a situation where 20 people are technically all owners of a piece of land, and 15 of them don't live in that community anymore, the developers can go to that 15 and ask them to sell. If those 15 want to sell and the remaining 5 don't, they can get a court order to sell as the majority. Then the developers can purchase the land. Heirs law dilutes ownership with every generation. That's the problem.
@@BestMods168 how much would you bet that an independent survey would find that her satellite dish and shed actually aren't on their property? I think chances are good.
I'm a Gullah-Geechee descendant, and this truly makes my blood boil. Greed is a distinct type of evil to fight. I pray that the land is kept by Ms. Josephine and her family!!! 😢❤🙏🏽
They are ruining my home there. My family goes back in that area of SC and Georgia many hundreds of years mostly around Hilton Head to Savannah. They are wiping away the Gullah, Geechee culture and I think it is sad..
That's how they do there i have seen it for years when i visited my uncle and aunt and he would transport workers to the island . He would tell us all the stories of what was going on from his church members. That was in 1993 and up til they both passed 2000 and her in 2020. She has some Northern in her as well so they messing with a smart grandmother . Praying for her and she has a great team of people behind her. My mother in law was born near by in Ehrhart and father in law but moved to NY in 1940s then moved back after retiring in 1987. So visited there for many years loved going to the Gullah area. Visiting there soon to see in laws. Prayers to you all there it is gorgeous people there and awesome heritage.
They're hoping to smoother her in legals fees so she'll sell the land out of desperation. Sickening. It seems like big corporations can bully almost anybody out of their land, and often for peanuts. This poor woman has been battling this for a long time. She's amazing, what a fighter. I'm happy she's getting so much public support. One other things to note: People love to come to areas like this because they're so beautiful, peaceful and covered with trees. What they never seem to stop to think about, is the more of them who go there, the less peaceful it is, the more polluted it is, and more of the natural beauty ends up destroyed.
@@Atyler1Which natives do you speak of? Bec even some tribes left the area when Europeans began to settle and some tribes even drove out certain smaller and/or weaker tribes off of certain regions to take the land for themselves.
This makes my blood boil. How you just gonna come on someone’s land and start building around them. It’s bullying at its finest. I hope she wins this case. I feel like she’s my grandmother.
@@gobadgego you need to pay a little more attention & learn to read between the lines of how these things work. The developer said that the encroachments are according to THEIR survey. They also didn't merely ask to have the items (re)moved, they want to get PAID BY HER for denying them the use of their land. slowing/preventing their development, etc. It's a tactic to bury her in legal costs & fines to either get her to settle & sell cheap, or go bankrupt & pick up the land at auction. Legal & moral are often two different things.
I pray she now makes sure she get her heirs aligned so they don’t sell out to the blood hungry companies. The problem is they go into communities like this and offer you pennies just to sell your property for hundreds of thousands or millions. I’m glad she said no.
This woman is incredibly articulate and alert for 93 years old, wow I can only wish to be like her cognitively when I'm 93. I wish her a successful outcome and happy life.
That is shady as hell. Sending an anonymous buyer to give you an insulting offer. Then tries suing you over petty land laws, then denies it all, and you can't trace back to the buyer because they were anonymous.
These property developers are disgusting and should be ashamed of themselves. Especially for trying to take advantage of this elderly lady and harassing her.
Calling them developers is another way of euphemizing what it is that they do. They are plunderers. Developers make them sound as if they are 16th century "civilizers". They are no more than thieves.
Lots of people in Harlem sold their homes to whites for wayyyy below what those homes were worth. This developer will flip that property for millions but offers her 30 thousand? That's how little they think of her. Disgusting.
THEY DONE THAT IN CHICAGO THE RAILROAD TO POOR FOLKS AT THE TIME WE HAD A BLACK MAN FOR PRESIDENT LEARNED THAT ON PBS STATION LAST NIGHT ON CHANNEL 11 IN CHICAGO A LADY WHO HAD HER HOME TAKEN ON THE PROGRAM I NOTICED HAD OBAMA PICTURE IN HER NEW HOME.

This is happening in every state. If you have muscle and cash, just roll over the little people. It's time we all fight back against corporate greed. We're with you, grandma!
And the majority of them aren’t even American companies yet this is allowed to happen to American citizens! The little ppl need to stick together and push back! We need to demand legislation change!!!
This seems to be a common practice all across the U.S. Damn greedy!!!!! Seems like they trying to build town homes n gated communities everywhere and then trying to charge consumers a zillion dollars in rent and mortgages!!!! People have every darn right to stay in their single family homes and communities without being bullied to do so!!! Yes counter sue!!! Straight up B.S.💯💯💯🎤🎯
36 thousands dollar is a joke* if she the owner doesn't want to sell her land than move on. Hundreds of buildings empty in this world why not take those lands?
The developer thinks it can win the lawsuit, have a judgment against her for a huge sum, them "graciously" forgive the lawsuit settlement IF she'll hand over title to her property.
Thank you. Rico criminal corporations and the bar associations drooling over $ harrassing individual human beings are criminals interfering with self government. Greedy is as greedy does greed to much.
It infuriates me developers think they can intimidate and bully a 93 year old woman into selling. Someone offering to purchase that land for $39,000 is ludicrous! I applaud her for standing up for herself and defending what is rightfully her property. Honestly does the community really want rows of 3 story townhomes to block the ocean view? My guess is probably not.
@@user-by7ii3mf7k @erly "One man's trash is another man's treasure"...Also , it's her ANCESTRAL land. You can't put a price on her ancestors blood, sweat, and tears, and even if you could, it certainly wouldn't be $39K ! That is an insult 😤
I hope she and her family can keep this property for as long as they want it. I am so tired of bullies. They thought they could take advantage of her because she’s 93 but she fooled them. You go girl! She is smarter and more with it than most people of any age. Love her!
To you reading this Jesus can help with whatever problems, hardships, and issues you have. Believe in him He came to save us also turn from your sins repent which is changing your life to follow the way of God and not your way, your way will lead you into a pit of despair I know it, my way lead me in a pit , but Jesus rescued me and he can rescue you. He can grant a peace and joy unfelt, and be your closest friend always there, This is the gospel Jesus Christ, son of God, sacrificed his life for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. After he went to his tweleve disciples and many others before ascending into heaven eternally triumphant over all his enemies and making it so that there is now no condemnation for sin to all those who believe, but only everlasting joy.

@@yusuf6778 I don’t see any context about him being racists but I certainly see context that might indicate he’s ageists. Ageism is just as prominent in society as racism is but no one talks about it. There’s also classism and sexism that could be the culprits here not just racism all the time. Many people disregard old people as “they’re going to die soon why do they need it?” or they’re taking up too much space or take advantage of them cause they’re weak and senile or think they are. And the elderly like children and animals are such an easy target cause they can’t really speak up for themselves they’re often taken advantage of cause of their kind demure innocent fragile nature and are prone to being victims of exploitation because of that. How often do we hear stories of old people being kicked out of the only home they knew for big time capitalists building companies so a new condo or starbucks or mcdonalds or walmart can be put in place? Yes his comment most likely is ageists rather than racists.
Right now, she is all of our grandmother. We’ve got your back Mamaw! We are cheering you on and will support you and we will celebrate the victory with you.
They want to offer her $39K but planning on building townhomes that’s going to be worth millions. She is right. That’s an insult to her intelligence. This is so disgusting.
White people
A pettily little 39 fucking k? SMH. Give this woman at least a couple of 100k.
Exactly. They are like, heres a dollar now go away and let us make our millions and billions.
Right! That can't even buy her another decent house.
What is she supposed to do with that Chump Change? Utterly Disgusting!
A $39,000 offer to buy land from up under an unsuspecting elderly woman, and then attempting to drown her in legal fees as retaliation should be criminal. This is outright disgusting.

Oh my God. This is why this world is just a journey for all of us. We don't fully belong here.
God bless her God has you ❤
😢they should lieve her alone
Isn’t that elder abuse?
$39K?!?! That’s not an offer. That is nothing but an insult. And then to sue her for living on her own land?!? Disgusting! I hope she wins this fight.
That is stealing and outright shameless. Fight Granny to the end of your life. Keep it all in the family. Far too much land has been taken from us. Millionaires and billionaires join this fight with our great grandmother.
Try spending 8 years in jail for trespassing on your own property. This heirs property is a serious issue in manipulating poor minority landowners. Silver Dollar Road on Prime is a must see!!!! God bless her!!

Hearing stories such as this does nothing but augment my disdain for corporations. They’re but concerned about their “bottom line,” which is more than disheartening. Their mindset is, screw the connection this lady has to that land and the comfort it’s yet provides. The fact that many, especially corporations, put financial gain above all else is disgusting. There are respectable ways to make money. By attempting to harass this elderly woman out of her property, they’ve don’t nothing but illustrate how heartless people can be in the pursuit of enlarging their bank accountants.

These companies need to be publicly boycotted. Not only are they trying to drown her in legal fees and be forced to sell, they’re simultaneously running the clock
I’m not from America but it seems like there should be regulations that restrict companies from using the legal system to smother citizens in legal fees. This case is a perfect example of the legal system being used to bully and harass.
You can't boycott a developer. They create a new legal entity for every project. Bureaucracy is pure evil.

More people who feel like they dont have a voice, finally gets attention, who do you think theyll vote for? That goes for minorities, gays, and illegal immigrants. Its a simple yet effective strategy to get votes. Go back and see if the clintons supported gay marriage in the 90s or if biden supported racial integration in the 70s lol they flip and flop based on how they think they can get votes.. ever heard of the 1994 crime bill? Hillary clinton called young african americans super predators and said they should be locked up regardless of age.

It’s so annoying that this 93 year old woman has to spend the last of her years being on edge and fighting a corporation for the sake of her children and their children, when they know damn well they could just leave her alone, if they weren’t trying to bully her into debt
And now it could bankrupt the development company from the delays. I would say she is winning and in the end, it will cost the developer literally millions of dollars. If I were an investor in this development, I would be turning on the developer and suing him for ALL of my investment and costs for starting the development without previously purchasing ALL of the land needed. Usually, when a developer does it this way, they are unscrupulous in their dealings and should be avoided at all costs.
The longer this goes on, the more chances of that happening. In reality, there will be people involved with this development who will go broke and/or could end up dying mysteriously or going missing because not all of the investors are legit people. These are notoriously great ways to "launder" dirty money.
My wife and I invest in numerous developments all around the world every year. We have been involved in deals with Drug Cartels, Russian Mob, etc. While we have no direct connection to them, it is disturbing nonetheless that our money is tied up with their money in different developments. Most of all of our developments are Commercial in nature and often are in areas of blight in larger cities where old industrial buildings are torn down and replaced with our Commercial buildings, usually Office Towers.
With the city stopping the development process, the developer will either have to make some very large and expensive changes to his plans or if they are lucky they will end up purchasing this woman's property at such a large amount of money that it will more than likely cripple the development and stop it or scale it down tremendously.
HONESTLY! Imagine spending your last days in COURT. NXA!
How else would they get land for dirt cheap? We are talking about corporations and companies here. They only care to make their shareholders happy at the expense of everything else.
Fighting for land that's going to be underwater because of climate change is pretty pointless. Her great-grandchildren will never get to use that land if left-wingers are correct.
@@richardgibson2158 These are rarely big corps but usually small corps with one or two people running them. They are only corps for tax and security purposes. Then they get a bunch of investors to back them and if they are legit, EVERYONE is happy and makes lots of money. If they are scammers, the investors usually end up getting railed and the developer slinks away after getting a lot of money.
Absolutely upsetting! So glad this old lady is fighting back so hard and not letting these people intimidate her into giving up what’s hers. Keep fighting lady🎉

@@ridge7524 💯 x 💯 percent agree 👍
lord knows how much hilton makes though
@@devinstallworth1558 Where she lives, it's the middle of nowhere and the property isn't worth anything. When the developer puts expensive houses around hers, it will be worth something but she probably won't be able to pay the increased taxes. She lost that home when all her neighbors cashed in and she refused so all that's left is waiting for her to sell it before she loses it from either imminent domain or because she can't afford the higher taxes she's going to be hit with.
If her neighbors had banded together with her, they could have all kept the land, but clearly being the last holdout leaves her with only the court of public sentiment on her side, and only as long as the media covers it. Being that this is a minor feel good story, it's likely to never be reported on again and in a year or two she won't own the property.

@@tiefblau2780 land is recyled every generation,
@lhl9010 Often times if one party (party a) builds a structure (even a fence) that encroaches onto the neighboring property, and the neighboring property owner doesn't do anything about it for a long time, that piece of the land becomes Party A's land legally. Idk about that particular jurisdiction but it's common in the US and I'd bet that porch and everything has been there long enough to make it her land. In Virginia it's covered under the adverse possession doctrine for example.

It's their survey that says that. I'd wager the shed is and always has been on her property.
How do you imagine the Heirs law is being ignored? The problem isn't that. The problem is because you might end up in a situation where 20 people are technically all owners of a piece of land, and 15 of them don't live in that community anymore, the developers can go to that 15 and ask them to sell. If those 15 want to sell and the remaining 5 don't, they can get a court order to sell as the majority. Then the developers can purchase the land.
Heirs law dilutes ownership with every generation. That's the problem.

@@BestMods168 how much would you bet that an independent survey would find that her satellite dish and shed actually aren't on their property? I think chances are good.
I'm a Gullah-Geechee descendant, and this truly makes my blood boil. Greed is a distinct type of evil to fight. I pray that the land is kept by Ms. Josephine and her family!!! 😢❤🙏🏽
James 5: 1-6
Amen! Plead the cause of the widows and orphans. Thank you Jesus.
They are ruining my home there. My family goes back in that area of SC and Georgia many hundreds of years mostly around Hilton Head to Savannah. They are wiping away the Gullah, Geechee culture and I think it is sad..
Me to fam this shit got me hot
That's how they do there i have seen it for years when i visited my uncle and aunt and he would transport workers to the island . He would tell us all the stories of what was going on from his church members. That was in 1993 and up til they both passed 2000 and her in 2020. She has some Northern in her as well so they messing with a smart grandmother . Praying for her and she has a great team of people behind her. My mother in law was born near by in Ehrhart and father in law but moved to NY in 1940s then moved back after retiring in 1987. So visited there for many years loved going to the Gullah area. Visiting there soon to see in laws. Prayers to you all there it is gorgeous people there and awesome heritage.
Her family needs to make sure they are well protected.
Protect this lady at all costs!
They're hoping to smoother her in legals fees so she'll sell the land out of desperation. Sickening. It seems like big corporations can bully almost anybody out of their land, and often for peanuts. This poor woman has been battling this for a long time. She's amazing, what a fighter. I'm happy she's getting so much public support. One other things to note: People love to come to areas like this because they're so beautiful, peaceful and covered with trees. What they never seem to stop to think about, is the more of them who go there, the less peaceful it is, the more polluted it is, and more of the natural beauty ends up destroyed.
its the native americans land not a black womans
@@Atyler1it's the native Americans land not the white man's land
@@Atyler1Which natives do you speak of? Bec even some tribes left the area when Europeans began to settle and some tribes even drove out certain smaller and/or weaker tribes off of certain regions to take the land for themselves.
Your thoughts was well written and heartfelt I love it can we get coffee sometime 😊
@@officialobawise4853😂
This makes my blood boil. How you just gonna come on someone’s land and start building around them. It’s bullying at its finest. I hope she wins this case. I feel like she’s my grandmother.
🖐🏻🤚🏻🖐🏻🤚🏻🖐🏻🤚🏻🖐🏻👈🏾
Isn't the definition of what America is?
@@joevictor53i mean sure. Also probably similar to almost every other country. Push people off their land and claim it as your own.
@@gobadgego you need to pay a little more attention & learn to read between the lines of how these things work. The developer said that the encroachments are according to THEIR survey. They also didn't merely ask to have the items (re)moved, they want to get PAID BY HER for denying them the use of their land. slowing/preventing their development, etc. It's a tactic to bury her in legal costs & fines to either get her to settle & sell cheap, or go bankrupt & pick up the land at auction. Legal & moral are often two different things.
It is also how long she has been using that corner. It is call squatter right. Maybe she can clam it now.
Good for her; continue to fight for what BELONGS to you and your family.
I pray she now makes sure she get her heirs aligned so they don’t sell out to the blood hungry companies. The problem is they go into communities like this and offer you pennies just to sell your property for hundreds of thousands or millions. I’m glad she said no.
This woman is incredibly articulate and alert for 93 years old, wow I can only wish to be like her cognitively when I'm 93. I wish her a successful outcome and happy life.
Well you’re white you can’t after 30 years old you’ll be done mentally
I thought the same thing 🥰 Healthy eating, minimal stress, and LOVE. As for her enemies, literally moving in the darkness, cowards.
Yeah... If only our president was so based.

@@SD-fp8ei
My heart goes out to her and anyone else in this precious community, the nerve of people to continue to take away from what our ancestors built🙏🏽
My family went through this in McDonough,Georgia. The city took my great great grandmother's land and tore down her house.
I’m so sorry.
Imagine being so money hungry you resort to suing a 93 year old woman because she doesn’t want to give up her entire life for 39k..
Right
I’d like to take a moment to say how great she looks at 93! I pray that she wins and is able to keep their family legacy, Stand Firm with Gods help!
Amen 🙏🏾
She looks amazing!
She looks at least 20 years younger, it’s crazy
Indeed! An incredibly beautiful woman both physically and cognitively.
Was thinking same thing
First of all, she looks, moves and sounds great for 93. I am disgusted by these bully corporations. They keep threatening and stealing land.
Prayers, strength and love grandmama❤️
This woman should be relaxing in her golden years not fighting lawsuits. She’s a goddess.
That's because she is ❤
shes a colonizer that doesnt care about natives
@@Atyler1and what are these corporations?
Relaxing well in paradise not in poverty. She should sell that land
@@Atyler1You're a joke for sure. If she was pale skinned it would be the other way around. You people are nothing nice. I said it!
That is shady as hell. Sending an anonymous buyer to give you an insulting offer. Then tries suing you over petty land laws, then denies it all, and you can't trace back to the buyer because they were anonymous.
39000…….. Would’ve spit in their face if they made me that offer cuz they already spit in mine
nothing shady about that, its a common practice, Walt Disney did the same thing when he was purchasing the land for Disney World
@@Dmc1184it’s shady buddy. Go sit in the corner little bruh
@@Dmc1184Yes, it is. Just because Walt Disney or anyone else has pulled the same shit doesn't make it any less shady.
They have done this through all of American history.
Absolutely disgusting!! God bless this woman and her entire family to stand their ground . Never give in to these demons. Unbelievable.
Yes she going to fight
Stay strong great-grandma. May God guide you through this!
These property developers are disgusting and should be ashamed of themselves. Especially for trying to take advantage of this elderly lady and harassing her.
They have zero shame- they would sell their God, mother, country and family for money 💴- what’s more American than profits and greed over anything
Calling them developers is another way of euphemizing what it is that they do. They are plunderers. Developers make them sound as if they are 16th century "civilizers". They are no more than thieves.
It’s common… especially when it comes to African American people and Native American people with land…
@@itzTeTe
They know they are poor, usually less educated and most importantly don’t have powerful and influential friends
But they are not ashamed. They have no conscious.
God please protect this woman and her land 🙏🏽🙏🏽
God isn't real. Begging a fictitious being won't get anything done
And all those in the same position.
I'm watching a show called "Warrior" where they used politics to take someone's land
@Seri-Katil if you get sent to hell I just know you'd be begging for mercy
@@kaylalovespups3441 prove it exists first.
Thanks for the fight. Prayers are with you.
This made my day. What a beautiful woman. Love her spirit. May she continue to bring them to their knees.
Sell for $39,000? People are evil.
I know right! What a joke!
Lots of people in Harlem sold their homes to whites for wayyyy below what those homes were worth. This developer will flip that property for millions but offers her 30 thousand? That's how little they think of her. Disgusting.
I wtfed out loud.
THEY DONE THAT IN CHICAGO THE RAILROAD TO POOR FOLKS AT THE TIME WE HAD A BLACK MAN FOR PRESIDENT LEARNED THAT ON PBS STATION LAST NIGHT ON CHANNEL 11 IN CHICAGO A LADY WHO HAD HER HOME TAKEN ON THE PROGRAM I NOTICED HAD OBAMA PICTURE IN HER NEW HOME. ONE MAN TALK ABOUT HIS MILITARY SERVICES WAS NOT THAT HARD COMPARING TO HIS LOST OF HIS HOME SO MRS.JOSEPHINE FIGHT DON'T GET TIRED DONT 😴 LET THEM SEE YOU SWEAT IF YOU GET TIRED. WE WILL KEEP TALKING TO GOD AS WE DO WHEN THIS STORY FIRST CAME OUT 🙏 🙌 ✨️ ❤️ ♥️ 💕 🙏 🙌 ✨️ ❤️ ♥️ 💕 STAND YOUR GROUND GOD BLESS YOU
This is happening in every state. If you have muscle and cash, just roll over the little people. It's time we all fight back against corporate greed.
We're with you, grandma!
Amen, same thing is happening in the state where I live
Vice did a really good piece on an identical situation in Louisiana. Compassion has limits, greed does not.
And the majority of them aren’t even American companies yet this is allowed to happen to American citizens! The little ppl need to stick together and push back! We need to demand legislation change!!!
Couldn't agree more. Time to fight back!!
American companies do it too. Regardless, it’s pure greed
And why should she even have to fight to give what is rightfully hers to her own grandchildren!? Maddening!!
my heart is truly truly broken seeing this... im praying for better days
This is a remarkable woman, along with her descendants. May God keep them strong, and preserve their land!
Amin
This seems to be a common practice all across the U.S. Damn greedy!!!!! Seems like they trying to build town homes n gated communities everywhere and then trying to charge consumers a zillion dollars in rent and mortgages!!!! People have every darn right to stay in their single family homes and communities without being bullied to do so!!! Yes counter sue!!! Straight up B.S.💯💯💯🎤🎯
If the Clintons are involved in development I fear for her safety
Amen, God will help them. 💙❤
36 thousands dollar is a joke* if she the owner doesn't want to sell her land than move on. Hundreds of buildings empty in this world why not take those lands?
The developer thinks that it can afford the lawsuit costs to harass her. They need to be fined big time.
That Developer is in for the fight of his/her life. This lady ain't budging, I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!
The developer thinks it can win the lawsuit, have a judgment against her for a huge sum, them "graciously" forgive the lawsuit settlement IF she'll hand over title to her property.
@@seamusoreilly804 or drag it out in court knowing the lady probably doesn't have the finances to keep fighting the case.
@ocampbell1954 she has some big names and anonymous celebrities backing her, she will prevail!
Thank you. Rico criminal corporations and the bar associations drooling over $ harrassing individual human beings are criminals interfering with self government. Greedy is as greedy does greed to much.
This actions of these developers is disgusting! God bless this woman🙏🏽
Pour Grandma 😢God Bless her may HEAVENLY FATHER watch over her
It infuriates me developers think they can intimidate and bully a 93 year old woman into selling. Someone offering to purchase that land for $39,000 is ludicrous! I applaud her for standing up for herself and defending what is rightfully her property. Honestly does the community really want rows of 3 story townhomes to block the ocean view? My guess is probably not.
She should sue THEM for obstruction of view 😔
It was worthless scrub land until the developer brought water, sewer, and paved streets.
@@user-by7ii3mf7k @erly "One man's trash is another man's treasure"...Also , it's her ANCESTRAL land. You can't put a price on her ancestors blood, sweat, and tears, and even if you could, it certainly wouldn't be $39K ! That is an insult 😤

You stand your ground, Mrs. Wright. Corporations always want to bully people to sell. All they are looking at is $$$$$$. God bless.

I wish her and her family the best of luck in keeping their land
I hope she and her family can keep this property for as long as they want it. I am so tired of bullies. They thought they could take advantage of her because she’s 93 but she fooled them. You go girl! She is smarter and more with it than most people of any age. Love her!
To you reading this Jesus can help with whatever problems, hardships, and issues you have. Believe in him He came to save us also turn from your sins repent which is changing your life to follow the way of God and not your way, your way will lead you into a pit of despair I know it, my way lead me in a pit , but Jesus rescued me and he can rescue you. He can grant a peace and joy unfelt, and be your closest friend always there, This is the gospel
Jesus Christ, son of God, sacrificed his life for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. After he went to his tweleve disciples and many others before ascending into heaven eternally triumphant over all his enemies and making it so that there is now no condemnation for sin to all those who believe, but only everlasting joy. John 3:16
BULLIES ARE CHILDISH
May she live to be 103 and give them a run for their money!
Because this is an inherited property. Just like the rich boys trust funds. It belongs to her.
You go grandma! Never give up!
Or till they give you an 8 digit offer.
She should be able to give up. Who wants to spend their last years on this earth fighting such a stupid battle?
@@theprimitivista Donald Trump????
@@theprimitivistayou didn't hear the part when she said she wants to leave the property behind for her family or you are just that much of a racist?.
@@yusuf6778 I don’t see any context about him being racists but I certainly see context that might indicate he’s ageists. Ageism is just as prominent in society as racism is but no one talks about it. There’s also classism and sexism that could be the culprits here not just racism all the time. Many people disregard old people as “they’re going to die soon why do they need it?” or they’re taking up too much space or take advantage of them cause they’re weak and senile or think they are. And the elderly like children and animals are such an easy target cause they can’t really speak up for themselves they’re often taken advantage of cause of their kind demure innocent fragile nature and are prone to being victims of exploitation because of that. How often do we hear stories of old people being kicked out of the only home they knew for big time capitalists building companies so a new condo or starbucks or mcdonalds or walmart can be put in place? Yes his comment most likely is ageists rather than racists.
Right now, she is all of our grandmother. We’ve got your back Mamaw! We are cheering you on and will support you and we will celebrate the victory with you.
Thanking the stars for this precious woman.
