It's also a silly point to dwell on. Black people are not being forced out, less affluent people are.

While it's valid to be against the gentrification of a neighborhood. We should not conflate it with other issues.

There is a real problem, and that is black people are under represented in the upper classes. If you fix that problem this one goes away. If you try to keep the black percentage high in this area without fixing the wealth gap, I'm not sure that you are achieving much.

You know who is less represented in the upper class than black people? Poor people. If you fix that problem this one goes away.
