I'm Not Politcal in meh...

I can be passionate about things that are unfair but mostly not political.

I was listening to a podcast called “We Live Here” and for the past few episodes, they have been discussing affordable housing. Toward the end, they talked about an agency I am familiar with called Beyond Housing. They try to help people find somewhere to live, but they also want you to attend meeting and have a goal plan to have a person buying their own home within 5 years. And they help you find houses, but they are all in the suburbs. At the time I was looking and going through them, I did not want to live in the county. I still don’t want to live in the county yet they all tried to push toward that area.

I’m a city girl born and bred so that’s that. If I move to the county it’s going to be somewhere posh because I can afford it and because I am a snob. LOL But one thing that bothers me is the underlying unspoken agenda and that is they want all the black people out in the county and all the white people back in the city. This is a segregated city, but that is one reason why I particularly love the South side because some of everyone lives here and there is seemingly not much animosity where race is concerned. But also to, a lot of black people that I know, who have “come up” so to speak all jet for the county soon as they get a little money in their pocket. I guess that’s their way of “making it out” of the hood. Now they are complaining when the stuff they thought only happened in the city happens close to where they live.

Shit happens everywhere. No one is exempt from it. My neighborhood, as much as I love it, has some sketchy elements, but for the most part I feel safe there. My neighbors and I all look out for each other for the most part. I mean there’s been some shit to go down in my few years but nothing that ever makes me fear where I live and who I live around.

It’s all about controlling people with fear and the dummies who fall for it, right?
I hate all this racially divided shit.

I love you, regardless, you dig?

Kindest regards,
