[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like how most people dance around the main issue of this topic. “What are you doing to take ownership of black neighborhoods, without trying to totally displace them to Calvert County or Laurel? And how can I, as a white person, get up on this wealth opportunity?”[/quote] Apart from developers, most people don't care whether it's a white or black neighborhood, and don't care about any "wealth opportunities" - they just care that they can find a place to live that's convenient to where they work, is safe and livable, and has decent schools and amenities nearby. That's it. That applies regardless of whether you're white or black or whatever else. The only real gap is the social stratification factor, and whether people making less money can be part of that through homes that are affordable to them.[/quote]
