That’s weird. I didn’t know brooms could only be used by white folk or were geo-locked by the Ministry of Cleanliness upon entering certain areas, like rented scooters get temporarily disabled, and their bristles just up and vanish when they’re taken into those areas.
Also, if new-to-the-area Black folk move into these gentrified areas and buy homes (which does happen), do you include them in that weird pejorative nickname in quotes?
What is it that these gentrifiers deserve? Dirty streets where brooms don’t work and people lose all drive to keep things nice?

First of all smart one, the broom is metaphorical. But you can interpret how ever you feel. Because obviously my stance was saying that roads were not being fixed or rebuilt, which is not something that a resident is allowed to do goofy. At the end of the day, areas in America can only be gentrified by white people, you simple man. If black people move to a predominantly white area, the property value goes down, when white people decide to buy up a mostly black neighborhood, the property value goes up. Argue with yourself, not facts. And they deserve to have things stolen and taken from them, simple! Whenever black people have our own systems y’all look at it as a cheap flip for profit or y’all kill the residents and burn it down (Tulsa race massacre). Y’all steal land from the beginning America and then say you discovered it. One white person wouldn’t move to a run down majority black area, if they didn’t think other white people would help buy the rest of the area and change it for their good. Y’all rely on the fact that there are more of y’all and you’ll have a higher tax bracket.
