A friend of mine shared this on Facebook, and I shared it too. But seeing as I have a lot more followers on tumblr than friends on Facebook, I thought I’d bring it here.

Will’s post really talked to my heart, because it’s exactly what it’s like to live in a gentrified neighborhood. Sure, my wall didn’t get painted on, but the feelings of entitlement that are held over you are universal. It’s very frustrating when people have been living in your neighborhood for less than 3 years and they act like you’re the new ones.

And let’s not even get into the comment section of this post! You cannot compare gentrification, which systemically kicks poor people (who are usually poc) out of their neighborhoods to “white flight”.

I’ll probably be reporting the bushwick flea’s Instagram if you need me, but please share his story.

White millennials are continuing the work of their invading ass colonialist ancestors. It’s to the point that I don’t even really want to live in DC anymore. I want to leave my home because they’ve made it *that* unbearable.
