Here in the progressive paradise of Portland, wokesters try to undo “gentrification,” and lure blacks back to historically black neighborhoods:

This idiocy underscores the contradictions and hypocrisies of “diversity ideology.” On one hand, they extoll the virtues of “bringing us all together in some kind of global melting pot” and that segregation is an evil concept, yet here they are, trying to lure blacks back into segregated neighborhoods, so they can proudly display them to the world like some kind of zoo.

You see, here in PDX we had the reverse of what happens in other cities...I called it “black flight,” as opposed to White flight. Rather than Whites escaping from inner-city blacks to the suburbs, we had blacks escaping their inner city neighborhoods to live in the burbs. This occurred in the 80’s, due to “gentrification,” with Whites casting their greedy eyes on the well-made but rundown homes in the Portland “ghetto.” Blacks tended not to take great care of their homes, but the homes in North Portland were quality constructed with an artistic flair. Whites began to invade N. Portland and buy up those homes, then fix them up to live in or resell at a profit. black home owners decided to cash in their homes and sell, then move to the burbs. black renters couldn’t afford the rising rents, so they moved to the housing projects in the burbs supplied by our Woke city council (and paid for by White taxpayers), who claimed that it was an improvement for the negro to get away from “crime-ridden” N. Portland. Of course, now the “affordable housing” projects are crime ridden and once nice suburban neighborhoods have become crime infested with regular shootings.

With the loss of the all-black “ghetto,” the liberals are crying about how we’ve “lost” cultural uniqueness of our very own negro neighborhood and are trying to draw blacks back to N. Portland. How crazy is that?

In their clueless hypocrisy these people are suggesting, but would never directly acknowledge, that this ideology of a one-world diversitopia, where there are no boundaries and no individual cultures, contradicts the very ideal they espouse. Diversity is created by geographic and cultural isolation, that’s how different cultures become different. If they are all blended together then we become one monoculture where everybody is the same color, speaks the same language and lives the same way. Eliminating those boundaries that divide us is actually genocide of the diversity they claim to worship.

I’m actually all for this re-segregation. Let’s put them all back in N. Portland. Then they can focus their criminality right back where it belongs...on themselves.

N.S.: The wokesters may contradict themselves when they try and sound philosophical, but their agenda is always the same: To use black supremacist and reconquista thugs to pauperize, immiserate, and kill off hard-working, patriotic, White taxpayers.
