[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your missing (or avoiding) my point. What irks is the causal bigotry that passes for acceptable. the person who wrote the Harlem piece said that: I am disgusted with the invasion of white people in Harlem. Would it be OK if the person said I am disgusted with the invasion of black people in Bowie. If one is OK and the other not, whats the difference? [/quote] The big irony of your point is that I also lived in Bowie for a while, so I've seen both sides of the equation played out. You're right: both kinds of racism are despicable. My point is also right: the people who move to Bowie and the people who "gentrify" in town are moving to the locations they can afford. New residents are not trying to provoke existing ones; they're just trying to enjoy their lives. Prior residents, racist or not, just have to grow up and adjust. Thank God for nondiscrimination housing laws. [/quote]
