    Here in the UK we’re being moved out of our blocks (I’ve lived here 22 years) in order to house immigrants - mainly Middle Eastern, but, many other flavours. So, at 50+ I’m. Being moved to a place 1/2 the size, gotta throw away most my belongings, n go somewhere miles away where I don’t know anyone - I can’t afford a car. The government are paying landlords big money to house immigrants. So, I feel for you black USA natives. Cos us poor white UK natives are being forced out by the massive influx. We are a tiny island and are shipping in 1,000,000 a year. Seems like nothing until you realise our total population is only 70,000,000. Rich white folk are just up n leaving the Uk. Our school, health treatment, public transport etc. are collapsing. Most of our government have dual nationality n will just up n leave once they’ve made enough cash out of this scam. Don’t know how it is to be a black American. But, do know how it is to be working class British n, no matter how hard you work, never get a break.

    They have all kinds of questions for us when we move into their neighborhood, though. "Uh so... uhhh...what do you do?" Like we know what you really mean is how are you able to afford to live near me. 🤔

      @Merican Modi And if it's not Section 8, then what? Look at who are the main recipients of section 8 and don't rely on what is depicted on TV and in movies. You may be surprised.

      @Merican Modi I agree with you on parts of that. Sometimes it's the inability to manage finances and sometimes it's due to the death of a bread winner or loss of a job that throws you into having to receive public assistance.
      My point was, if a Black person moves (buy or rent) into a predominantly white neighborhood, we get questioned. It's happened to me and other family. It shouldn't matter, but it is a micro-agression some Black people have to deal with.

    His definitions break down rapidly when you realize that there are black investors in neighborhoods that are bringing an influx of cash to renovate and bring businesses. I mean, it's pretty stupid that your definitions breakdown when you change the race of the person investing in your area. Because let's face it, no one would call it colonization if there were a group of black investors with an influx of cash buying up properties, and encouraging business in an area. That's a fact
