Last night a group of anti-gentrification protesters in Seattle marched through a section of town for a couple hours to complain that white people were living on stolen land. Well, not stolen exactly. They aren’t claiming the black people who used to live in this neighborhood were pushed out at gunpoint. But they are claiming that an injustice has taken place because white people are now living in new homes in this formerly black neighborhood.The crowd of maybe 50 people was marching down the street after dark chanting “Black people used to live here!”

Next time take care of your property and be good neighbors and you won't have to give it a way so cheap.

And what about all the middle class white neighborhoods that are now black ghettos?

Most of those people probably voted for the Gov and Mayor! They probably agree that the Protesters are just venting and shouldn't be arrested and Jailed. They also probably thought their little slice of Heaven was safely far enough away from the Mayhem that it wouldn't affect them. Well, reality has arrived! Nothing will change until you demand a change in your government. It's really up to the people who live in your state to demand the Looters and Rioters be arrested and jailed (not let out the next day). Only then will you and your home truly be safe!

Excellent. The harder it becomes to hide from the fact that this is all about pillaging the closer we get to acquiring the will to stop it. This needs to affect a critical mass of people who will only begin to care once it's their house the barbarians come to seize. This needs to hit hard and at home for the spoiled lefties to realize that their wokeness and sense of moral superiority in fact does not immunize them from the terror they have helped to unleash.

These people are ungovernable. Rule of law means nothing to them. They need to go back to their s-hole countries where rules of civil society are non existent.

Maybe it was previously property that was owned by blacks that was previously owned by white people. Unfortunately the black people ran it into the ground making it into an empty slum perfect for white people to buy and "gentrify". Stop destroying your own community and work hard and you can own property too. You are not entitled to anything today because of history .

this is fascinating!
back in the 1960s, Urban Studies, which morphed into metropolitan Studies, dealt with the urban problems/racial problems. A leader in academic studies of this sort was Alan 'Scotty' Campbell of Syracuse University, and his sidekick, Dirty Donna Shalala. Campbell and Shalala blamed urban problems on whites who fled the cities 'taking their tax base with them,' as Campbell and Shalala dishonestly opined.
Gentrification was a perfect solution - whites would return to the city, bring their tax base with them, reduce the need for busing for integration,
city properties would be improved, and we all would be happy.
Campbell would go on to be Jimmy Carter's civil service reform guy, and first Director of the Office of Personnel Management, and Dirty Donna Shalala was elected to congress in 2018 after suffering a stroke while head of the Clinton Foundation.
blacks who protested segregation, were suddenly, with gentrification, living in integrated neighborhoods.
And blacks complained gentrification ever since.

Gentrification.... I wasn’t sure of meaning..
And the fact BLM terrorists are using the word- means they are coached.
So, displacing people, buying property , bringing in business- improving economy is color based?
This is freaking America- you can get a job, work hard, save money- buy a house- watch a YouTube video on how to fix anything.. or grow or develop..
You.. you take ownership of you.. stop blaming the man’ ‘the white person’
You. Is life unfair? Yup. Outcomes aren’t equal.. no one ever promised equal outcomes, just equal opportunity..
And if equal opportunity isn’t available- fight for it.. in court, or double work ethic.. the older I get the more I battle ageism.. and that is real! I am not brick throwing, demanding someone give up home for me..
Man and woman up ... tired of tyrants #mamabear

Biden should jump on the give Black people your homes campaign, that stance should give Biden a lot of inner city votes as Biden-Harris lays out their plans to reimagine America’s suburbs.

Makes you want to wire your home with a few pounds of Semtex and put out the welcome mat.
Very amusing that the very first search retrieved is "Homemade Semtex at Amazon."

Go read or watch the You Tube videos about what is happening in South Africa to the farmers who have tilled that land for generations. It will disgust and sicken you. It is a foreshadowing of what they intend to do here and that is just not going to work. Americans will not stand for it. Better to nip it in the bud before people are seriously injured and killed. We take very seriously the protection of what is our whether it is our lives, our homes, or our communities.

It sounds to me like they want to be segregated. isn't that racist? To have "Black", "Brown", "Yellow", "Red", "White" neighborhoods and such? "Hey, you! Go live with your own kind!" I thought this is what we have been fighting against for many years.

Yeah, black people used to live there and like every other city with a large black population, they destroyed it like a bunch of cockroaches and moved on to destroy another neighborhood. Now that white people have poured their hard earned money, blood and sweat into it, they want it back for free only to destroy it again.

I suppose there is a wide spread joy on the streets of Seattle, they voted for this and they got it. This November they will vote for more and the next year Joe will send some armed federal agents to help with evictions to make it even more joyful.

No worries! Surely the mayor and city council will go along with them taking over unoccupied residences regardless of ownership. Of course the owner will still have to pay taxes and maintain the place even though they won't be allowed to live there.
Its only fair!
Its justice!
We must take care of our fellow man!
No justice, no peace!
Black Lives Matter!
We're saving the planet!
Its the new world order!
Any other witty lefty slogans?
Had enough?

More evidence of self-segregation...the King legacy is officially in tatters. It was men like King and John Lewis who were demanding an end to such in society. Their heirs and white dupes are now sweeping it aside. Perhaps it's time to start drawing up race districts: Blacktown, Chinatown, Hisptown, Eurotown...

Can I do the same thing?
I lived in Rochester NY until I was 11. Can I go back to that neighborhood and chant 'whites used to live here'?
Or can I go to the former home of my grandmother in St Louis? She was the last white person on the block in 1958.

#20, "for generations" understates the situation. The Boers settled in southern Africa just about the time that the USA was getting started, only a few years after our Constitution was ratified.
I have friends in the Republic of South Africa. Their children have emmigrated to Australia, and the father and mother, after two hundred years on the land are loathe to leave. He is a retired medical doctor, and a wonderful person. And the country is becoming a sewer of racial violence.

So, Mr. Black Man, you want to take over my house? First off, I bought it all by myself. Secondly, I'd like you to meet my best friend. Mr. AK-47. Bye. Oh, you're welcome.

If the DNC steals this election, and two terms of BHO prove they can do that, Slow Joe and his vp will simply force filth into every functioning suburban neighborhood, Then, within a decade, the trash will destroy what is left of the American middle class.
