The movie brings up gentrification

Lin-Manuel Miranda forbid whites from auditioning for the road-show casts of "Hamilton." Even though Miranda looks pretty white unless he has his facial hair, he's obviously riding racial dogma as his path to money and success.

Valid

Poor white people. So oppressed...

Also, your white supremacy is showing.

Every group thinks they own the neighborhood they live in, but they forget or don't realize that their grandparents were once the "new people" who the prior group was whining about when they moved in.

People just hold onto anything they feel they can call their's.

You're posting a lot of crap, so as a New Yorker who's at the ground zero of gentrification, I'm going to disabuse you of your nonsense.

The animus has nothing to do with whites per se, but the types of white people moving into inner city communities. In the past, they actually integrated with local neighborhoods and created a cool fusion between local and transplant culture.

The ones moving in today are culture vultures who move into inner city communities chasing cheap rents. Instead of integrating with locals and creating new venues, art scenes, etc., they start demanding vapid corporate chain stores and other crap to take over and complaining about local culture (ice cream trucks being too loud, local bodegas being too grody, drum circles being too noisy). Before long, a community that had uniqueness becomes overrun with the same 15 chain stores--literally. No more art stores, corner cafes, ethnic grocery stores, record stores, etc. Just a string of pharmacy chains, bank chains, 7-11s, Subways and Starbucks on every other block.

Life dies out, too, because the newcomers make sure to start calling LEOs for petty complaints designed to intimidate or frustrate locals into leaving. For example, in one neighborhood here in NYC, there was a Karen making frequent complaints about a venue that had been there for two decades but was "bothering" her.

You talk about property values going up? Painting it as a positive, you have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, property values go up. But then predatory real estate sharks from around the country and even the world start buying everyone out and putting up luxury towers. When the luxury towers go up, property taxes soar so high for everyone else in the area that the landlords of the people you malign as being "short-sighted renters" have their apartments bought out from under them (as landlords unable to afford the property hikes sell out) or are kicked out in favor of Yuppies who can pay double or triple the rent.

All this culminates in a city-wide and in some case state-wide affordable housing crisis as more and more developers drive up property values to such an extent that no working or middle class family are able to live anywhere. This is literally what's happening now in CA and NY as we speak and why each state is experiencing both a homeless crisis and a mass exodus of middle class and working class workers.

Democrats have become very pro-segregation. It's fucking weird. They complain about racism, but have no qualms against being racist towards white and apologizing for pro-segregation stuff like being against gentrification. It's blatant hypocrisy.

this would make for a great prequel
