Let me tell you a scenario that's not made up and
@IP360 can vouch cause hes from the city I'm from.
Was this city councilman from this district downtown. Ran on that brothaman shit, brothaman name and wore kufis and shit. Move around the city like he was king shit, using his influence around the city to get good jobs for "his" folks. But you had to kiss the ring. Homie had body guards that used to run out in incoming traffic to stop it just so he could cross the street.
Well, he was on that fuck shit I'm talking about. Every other month he in jail for child support. Know what them white folks realize, all we gotta do is bleed em. They avoided his area with development like the plague. Then it went to shit and he kept running and getting reelected by blaming them white folks.
Eventually after things went to super to shit, black folks came round asking what the fuck. Now..his only choice is to run to them same white folk wit no leverage and sell out himself and the city.
Soon enough he was gone..but the damage was done, and the gentrification was on..cause of that same shit I'm talking bout
