[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is a train wreck but really what do you expect.  Yeah, most upper income liberals want to live around people just like them.  Nowadays its less about skin color and more about income and groupthink.  Own an expensive car, shop at whole foods, send your kids to French classes, and seem really upset about GMOs and you'll fit right in.[/quote]

:roll: upper income conservatives, however, are a totally different story, right pp?[/quote]

NP. at least the conservatives put their money where their mouths are and stay in their own lane. meanwhile, the liberals are content to make historically black communities unaffordable under the guise of "improvement."[/quote]

If you are a conservative, shouldn't you be cheering the free market and the right of black families to sell their houses to the highest bidders?  Culture war trumping free markets this time? [/quote]

I highly doubt that PP was a conservative. More likely someone who feels somehow negatively affected by gentrification, but needs to be careful what they wish for.[/quote]

Someone annoyed at WF and at anti GMO folks, for whatever reason.  Maybe a food industry exec?  ;)

There are plenty of white liberals of course who do not shop at WH, who eat GMO foods, and who drive cheap cars, or who own no cars at all.   And plenty who do not gentrify (loads of white liberals out in MoCo, in Fairfax, and of course in North Arlington)

But whose lane is whose?   Which neighborhoods in DC collectively belong to blacks?   What happens when the black people who live  in those neighborhoods, and wish to sell their homes freely, do not share the belief that whites belong in some other lane? [/quote]
