Priced Out | Portland’s History of Segregation and Redlining - Full Documentary

- In the late 1990s, Nikki Williams, a single mother living in Portland's only "ghetto," embraced the idea of gentrification. At that time, her neighborhood was dominated by abandoned buildings and the fear of drug dealers. Fifteen years later, Nikki was one of the last black residents on her block, as high-end restaurants and throngs of young newcomers came to dominate the area. While some black residents said good riddance to the old neighborhood, others felt betrayed by city officials who promised revitalization without displacement. As gentrification grew beyond Nikki's neighborhood and plunged the entire city into a housing crisis, Nikki found herself torn between feelings of grief about the loss of her community and the opportunity to sell her home and achieve economic freedom for the first time in her life. In 2002, "NorthEast Passage" chronicled a neighborhood that embraced gentrification and fought off affordable housing. Over a decade later, the sequel "Priced Out" offers a complex view of gentrification rarely seen in conventional news coverage.
I’m from London in the UK and it’s identical to what’s going on in Portland. Blacks are being priced out due to gentrification. Therefore, this is an international problem.
The term "gentrification" was actually coined in the 1960s by sociologist Ruth Glass to describe the process of by which wealthier "bohemian" whites were displacing West Indian immigrants from London's Islington neighborhood.
Portland resident here, since 1995. That closing bit saying Oregon has statewide rent control in place is total, and utter BS. I'm paying $1600 / month for a place that would have cost less than $1k just five years ago. The greed and disregard for people's ability to live (rather than survive, or go homeless) is more disturbing and sad than can be imagined...
Agreed, I was born in Portland in 1981, I'm priced out now. Progress!
Thera no rent control, right.
Late stage capitalism. Sadly these outcomes were/are predictable and the best thing to do would have been to get out in front of it rather than to expect things to be different 😕
If you and other people in youe cercumstancea lived in a place with a more reasonable cost of living. How would that effect the cost of living in portland?
Low income housing is 1200 for a single bedroom a block off of 205
Before Portland was called Portland, black , and native Americans lived in the area centuries before the white population settled in. So this story , is not the entire story
Blacks lived in Portland before whites? Lol
Damn right ✊🏿
Can you expound on that history that’s interesting
Doesn't matter anymore, now we have civilization.
Ain't nobody givin nothin back. Don't care, that was then this is now, WE ALL live here NOW. Tired of the guilt trips.
I am in tears, as I see how we are pushed around , divided from our families and friends, and still being separated as a people.
Same here in Atlanta Ga!! Condos are built daily....as WE are being PUSHED OUT OUR HOMES and Neighborhoods. When you see the dogs and babys being pushed walking through the areas...ITS A WRAP!!
Work harder, earn a better education, move on up with the neighborhood rather than failing to improve. Gentrification happens when people fail to earn more, take care of their homes, or raise their children properly. You have exactly what you’ve earned. Voting for the former slave owners doesn’t help either.
@@gapechinursesmith5803 Work harder, get that education, and earn enough to afford that condo. You have allowed yourself to be pushed out because the people moving in with harder and earn more than you do.
@@gapechinursesmith5803 Yup.
I think people are just mourning for what has been lost. I do not understand the need for shaming someone.
My grand father moved to Portland from the south for the shipyard work in the early 50's. I was born and raised in Portland Oregon, so was my husband and children. I was bused out of the Irvington Neighborhood in NE Portland to Laurelhurst Elementary school. I went to college at PSU in Portland and Lewis and Clark Law School. In 2004 we could see the city going to hell with racism and the feeling of you don't belong here and I was a native. We got the hell out. Now we live in the south and while I'm not in love with it, amazingly enough, I know this is actually a much better place for me and my family.
Thank you for sharing truth and helping voices to be heard.
Thank you for your hard work in shining a light on this important issue. As someone who dreams of living in Portland, this documentary has given me so much to think about.
Wake up little dreamer
LOL, what a sad dream. Portland is a pathetic s-hole. There are thousands of better cities to consider.
This is why as Black people, we need to work hard to own where we live. That's the only way to preserve the community atmosphere. Own real estate my people!
💯
What is so desirable about a community full of crime? Wy preserve that atmosphere?
@@ossoduro7794 You missed the whole point.
@@ossoduro7794 It’s a community of crime because far too many in the black community are not earning an education, and I mean majoring in something that does not have the word, “studies” in the title. Far too many are not working hard enough, earning enough, paying their bills, paying their taxes, taking care of their homes, saving up their money so that they can buy a home, obeying the law, not voting for Democrats, contributing to society in a positive way, or raising their children to do the same.
If they do those things, the crime will go away.
@@michaelshultz1590 Getting them to adhere to the above criteria will be like pulling teeth. I'd like to believe that such elementary action would come easily for those wishing to have a brighter future, but instead, they're constantly trying to blame their shortcomings on nonexistential boogeymen as opposed to the systemic failure of their culture. It appears to be in the DNA
I'm a white man born in Oregon and I've been priced out. Not everyone white is born in affluence. I grew up in a trailer court, and my family has owned no property. Now come my 30's and houses that sold for 50k 10 years ago are worth 500k today. It's impossible for someone like me to own a home in this state, and rent is out of control everywhere.
This isn't just a black issue, it's a leadership issue.
I'm sick of divisive politics. We are more alike than we are different. The 99%. End the 1%.
Yea it's not just a black issue plenty of poor whites are affected too, altho blacks are disproportionately affected, but it's more like the bottom 50% versus the top 50%.
Many in the middle class are still doing great.
It's a landlord versus tenant issue, that's primarily how it needs to be framed.
helping me write an essay rn... thank you
I know his comment was 4mo ago, but i genuinely hope you did well on your essay?! Keep going!!!
I think Nikki explained it perfectly well when she described the passive aggressive whites who won't look you in the eye. That is a white city folk thing. There is a definite air about them.
This was enlightening and quite sad.
I've been to Portland numerous times, but would mainly leave the city for the coast. My last visit was July 2021. The city has gone down hill. This documentary opened my eyes to a lot of things I didn't know, but wonder about. Hopefully, Portland can continue to rebuild and make things more inclusive. Its not easy, but it can work. Great documentary
Inclusive 🤡🤣🤣🤣. No . How about follow the law . Thanks
Brilliant film. I can relate to every resident in the film as my community of North Park in San Diego became gentrified. It was once one of the more affordable communities in San Diego, full of diversity, but as the city aimed to "revitalize" North Park, that plan was really gentrification masquerading as revitalization. Many minorities and many of my neighbors were priced out as a new more affluent demographic moved in. We had issues of crime, but our hope was for increased police presence to make the community safe. Instead the city, developers, and unwitting new residents that flocked in pushed out minorities and people of lower socioeconomic backgrounds to make the community "safe". For me, gentrification is really the new form of colonialism taking place as people are being pushed out further and further from their homes just as the Native Americans were by the settlers out to the reservations.
Absolutely, segregation at it’s finest
Same happened to Seattle and now its less diverse and the crime has skyrocketted. When racism backfires.. and now the property values are dropping and big business is moving out. Lmao racist clowns failed, gentrification is flawed in its roots and operation.
Ding ding ding, gentrification is a new acceptable term for settler colonialism.
How were the crime rates afterwards?
@@notsocrates9529 mixed bag. Gang violence down, but property thefts and altercations up. Altercations went up as a result of increased number of bars in the area - you know how people get when they drink.
All these issues Black Folk are facing in Portland and Oregon in general traces back to the formation of Oregon Territory back in the 1840s when Blacks were prohibited to move there.
Yup. They can’t put no blacks on paper legally anymore so they gotta try an keep them out and subjugated through legal means
Same old song and dance routine.. Laying the blame on others and why black people continue to suggest that they are so helpless because of something that existed 185 years ago is the reason they are having issues in life today... I mean i would be embarrassed to admit after nearly 200 years my people still haven't accomplished anything more then the victim hood mentality mindset that we see time and time again. So basically how long does it take for someone to get their live in order. Do you people need another 500 years or maybe a 1000 more is that enough time to get your 💩 together... should we give the future generations a heads up that they can kick back and have another 500 years of victim hood mentality routine to continue the nonsense that nobody is falling for or buying your 🐂💩 of why black people are at the bottom. When its obvious they refuse to use the rope everyone else has to use to lift ourselves with that is lowered down for them to pull themselves out of the hole they have dug for themselves instead believe they are owed life the easy way with them handed a ladder to climb out of the mess they live because pulling themselves up by the rope is to much work. Always want the most with the least amount of effort to get it.... It's become comical the excuses black people will say why they have it worse than others. That's why nobody respects or cares to deal with black people its always the same old excuses its someone else's fault but mine. Black people have made a mockery out of racism and a joke to others who have to deal with people who walk around with the daily chip on their shoulders attitudes...
They're simply not wanted, and that's not going to change.
Great documentary and sad. I was born and raised in NE Portland. It was not the unsafe, war torn area it was portrayed to be. It was a cultural community with black businesses, churches and tons of life. I lived on 22nd & Alberta until housing kicked us out because my brother graduated from college and we were no longer qualified to live there. A lesbian white couple had moved in across the street and the changes in the neighborhood were already being seen. It doesn't feel like home anymore and the current housing and homelessness crisis, on top of the violence suggests to me that Portland made a huge mistake by ripping out affordable housing and the black community to become a hipster paradise.
boo hoo
@@peterbelanger4094 Parasite.
Good little film!
This film is brilliant and I can't wait to watch it virtually with Nikki and the Whole Wide World!
Thanks for documenting what can happens when we are not involved in the plans for our entire communities.
As a Black Guy, That's why I keep telling Blacks; If you don't OWN anything don't have KIDS!
At the end, its our kids who suffer.
true but its not easy to own I've read somewhere a black couple with high combine income are more likely being deny for a white couple with lower income and credit score, and People of color are more likely target for predatory subprime loans
My grandfather worked for the railroad when the Vanport floods occurred. He sounded the alarm to warn people to get out. I remember him telling me that he felt the government allowed this to happen because they wanted Vanport gone. He rode the train and recorded the real devastation and the government took his video. When they returned the video to my family the portions of the video had been altered so people wouldn't see how many people really died. Gentrification sucks and the PDC has so much to do with it. Thank you for doing this documentary and sharing the truth of the destruction of the amazing culture in NE & North Portland.
The Vanport Flood was an act of God, or nature. Whichever you prefer. The government had nothing to do with it.
I grew up in NE Portland during the 90s. I left in 2000. Ive tried to move back. Its not the same anymore. I left as soon as could. It feels unreal, fake. Hipsters trying to be cool, trying to be “weird”. Im good here on the east coast
There is only one solution to stop gentrification. It's ownership. Low income people must strive to save there money or even pool there money together and buy the property. If your renting you have no power.
You are correct! I’m a (black) homeowner in an affluent neighborhood in Texas. I typically keep quiet and I go to the HOA meetings and I see the power. Those ppl keep EVERYTHING away from our neighborhood. They literally declined another park area being built it had b-ball rims and they argued it would attack the wrong type. We have to own!
Yet most minorities come from low income backgrounds in many of these communities being gentrified. How do those of lower income thresholds manage to own a home when they can't even pass a credit check or will have a high debt to income ratio to be approved for a home loan? The comment seems to lack awareness altogether for reality.
Most houses in the hood were owned and were lost during gentrification. People couldn't keep up with the rising property taxes or couldn't afford to make repairs. Or the city forced them out in order to build freeways and hospitals then let the land sit empty for decades.
@@madreep thank you I hated how some of these people on here acting like black people did that to themselves if anybody study history they will see that most of the policies government favor either white people or those with money with African Americans having the wealth 10x less than average white it’s no wonder they always get end of the sticks
I am Native American and German, my family didnt have that but didnt stay as a renter for years or all their life, they made sure they told each kid to own the property, not rent. Things will change around you, but you need to own the house, or property, and get that education. So some went into the military to help pay for our education.
Smh
Thank you for tte film I felt this pain we are and have always been self sufficient boack wall street Albina and so many more we own we thrive and they dump the drugs and take away resources creating crime and then they see opportunity and redline ua all over again. Its infuriating.
We can do something about it
Detroit is going through this right now. Its a very painful, depressing, terrifying, stressful thing.
whats the opposite of gentrification? I dont understand, if an area has a specific culture you, with a different culture, cant move in and add ur culture? So I need to assimilate? A culture will change over time, what they are talking about is nostalgia
If I were Nicky, I wouldn't sell until it was worth several millions! I am not giving up my right. Jamaicans are thickskinned, so we would walk up in all those stores chatting and laughing regardless of their reactions. Never let anyone intimidate you out of your wealth. May Jesus Christ continue to bless and keep us all in Him.
Smh
You don't know the history of America..so
@sophia4christ You know it! Same so.💙💙🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Interesting and really well-presented film. I related a bit to this documentary because I’m from NJ/NYC and when I moved back out to Oregon (specifically Portland) in 2016 I expected to be living in this really diverse city-Keep Portland Weird was the popular slogan- but the first thing I said to myself was, “Where are all the black people??” I lived very close to the area they focus on in this film (right off Rosa Parks and MLK) and whenever I told people where I lived they said, “Oh, that used to be the ghetto” but living across the river from NYC my whole life all I saw in 2016 was mostly gentrification. Now I know the reason why this area of NE Portland looked the way it did; it’s evolved over time but sadly, the “original” inhabitants haven’t seemed to fit into that same evolution. It’s sad to see because I really enjoyed living in NE Portland; it felt more like home because it was the most diverse area of the city and it sucks to see how “cookie cutter” it has become. Even more so than when this doc. was filmed in 2015ish. Personally, I love living in Oregon but that is my one major complaint about this state: the lack of true diversity / culture. Being surrounded by white people (I’m white too) is boring as hell!!
I grew up in the Columbia villa. From 1989 to 1999. I went to Portsmouth middle school and Roosevelt high school. After school I would go to eds sports cards / home plate deli. And after that I would go to burgerville. I miss that Portland.
Thank you, Cornelius!
I moved here in 2011 from Arcata and walked down Mississippi ave and talked to an old guy, black man, and he told me some cool loving stories of the neighborhood. I miss that guy.
I agree. Texas has a lot of black people making them feel right at home. For myself, I moved out of Texas, and back to my roots in WA State. Best decision I ever made.
Stop renting and start buying
Same in my moms area my grandma brought that house when my granddad died with his insurance money 65 years ago, and we still own it. The new people who moved in act like they own every inch we have had to get on some about picking up dog poop on our lawn. These people don't speak so I tell my mom not to speak, I don't speck to them I act like I don't even see them I always return the same energy. I also need to add I am from Ga. down south it's everywhere people are being displaced, or made to feel alien in a space they have lived forever.
In addition, she was awarded a FREE Habitat for Humanity house...FREE!! She turned around and sold it and made a PROFIT! I'm so freakin' happy I'm not your average Black person. I agree with the saying: all skin-folk ain't kinkolk!!!
Turned around? ... 17+ years later. Girl please. Just STOP.
@Deelifull not that kind of turned around. It's a figure of speech . The bigger point is she sold that house and made a profit.
Habitat for Humanity houses are NOT free. Owners still pay a mortgage.
Aubriana Williams shares my birthday. I was born on April 14, 1991. I assume she is a few years older than me. It is extremely disheartening the way the White man in power has mistreated African Americans, the descendants of the slaves who were kidnapped from their African homelands, and were forced against their will to come to the Americas. Wherever White people went around the world, they mistreated the indigenous populations.
It was crazy to see Bri walking around on the grant campus. Im a sophomore there now and its awesome to think that someone so incredible could have gone ther.
They're a tribal people, and that doesn't work in this country. It was never going to work.
@50:20 she stresses the fact he is not just a black boy but a darkskinned black boy.....that's crazy
7 kids, 7 baby daddy
What !!! Back then people where married had 7-9 kids by there husbands there wasn’t no birth control back then a………….. 🕳️
We found it we're going to watch this now 👍
It seems in many regards that Albina was Portland’s Harlem or Bronzeville. And gentrification has destroyed that. A little known black cultural home just pushed aside with all callousness.
And who lives in albina now ? Guys like this narrator. White affluent generational wealth Elites
Attributing the responsibility of white individuals for investing more in their schools is not entirely fair. The issue lies in the funding mechanism, specifically property taxes, which can be deemed unconstitutional. This system charges residents more based on the condition of their homes, even if they fully own them, with the funds directed towards schools and libraries. The frustration arises when instances of city, school, or government building damage occur, as it seems to enforce an additional financial burden on white individuals who are compelled to contribute, and failure to do so may result in potential repercussions, such as eviction from their homes.
I'm also from the UK and areas like Brixton South London you cannot rent or buy unless you're earning six figures. Brixton was that first generation Jamaican migrant from 1950's /60's which gave the area character, culture and music. Now it's a whitewash
20:40 This *exact* scenario played out on the Eastside of Austin, TX in 2017-18… Black folks were literally relegated to the Eastside by law during the Jim Crow era. Now black folks are virtually nonexistent in communities where they were formerly forced to reside. It’s a dizzying paradigm shift.
Really? Government caused the high prices by cutting down on new units coming online. Investors just don't have the appetite for years of red tape to build and it's been made difficult for owners to operate units.
Leave the greed.
That $15 organic apple sounds good about now.
Not if it's been refrigerated though, I don't like to "shock" my system.
There is a Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School in West Oakland, Oakland, CA. I teach there.
This was well done but so 😢.We have been there treated unfairly in this country.How could these people in this country not think black people are owed something.
The Most High the God of Your Ancestors will give you reparations.
Yes!!!!!!!👍
There is no "we", each person is an individual responsible for their own choices. This isn't africa, we don't do that tribal crap.
Bet that first lady steals the handicap parking space

For updates on residents featured in the documentary, check out the Priced Out Podcast. This podcast ran for two seasons, 2018 and 2019. All the episodes are here on our channel and most podcast platforms. ruclips.net/video/RvO_4caMyBI/видео.html
If your poor, your poor. Don't blame everyone else that has options.
Easy said when you white an systemic racism doesn’t affect you please be 🤐
So @16:00 her plan to help stop crime, was to enact a tiny police state... Great plan..
And as soon as we thrived in Albina, business needed to grow. It was hopping. But what happened?
How did we lose it all?
Always use the Black card. Poor people are poor because y'all don't want to change your way of life.
I am a minority from the south. I've also traveled around this country alot and got to see what it's like staying in a bunch of cities. Im used to being around other minorities all the time
I am visiting Portland and the Pacific NW for the first time currently. I've been here about a month....in the south you see Portland in the media and think its some super liberal super welcoming city for all races and creeds. But in reality its COMPLETELY different.
The whole city is white people. I dont mind white people but where are MY people. This area of the county is absolutely beautiful. I love it. But soon im gonna have to go back to southern USA, I need to be around my black and latino ppl.
Watching this video I see that there was black people here, they just been getting ran out the neighborhood, seems like im too late. I hope the African American community one day thrives again in this beautiful city
I totally agree about Portland. I noticed the exact same thing when I used to live in the PNW.
@58:05 u can't keep a house and loose a home
That was deep
Yes. You CAN keep a house, but still lose a home (aka your community)
Good Documentary, still a bit sugar coated. The Black realtor sounds suspect.
As a Portlander I find this video hilarious. Blk people fled the city due to gangs in the 90s. The second blk people got some money they moved to someplace safer.
If they inherited a house they sold it immediately and left. My buddy inherited his grandparents house in the 90s. Couldn't find a single buyer. You know why ?
He lived smack dab in the middle of a active gang neighborhood with regular drive bys. Funny how all that didn't make it into this video.
Oh, it’s there. But you have to watch the feature length version. This is just one scene from the movie. Full length versions of Priced Out are on our channel. Remember, because of redlining, homeownership rates were very low in black communities compared to white communities. Homeownership rates in white communities can average around 60% or as high as 70% compared with historical black communities coming in at 20-30%. And that’s really an issue of discriminatory regulations that were put in place starting with the FHA in the 1930s. It’s all public record. It’s not so much a matter of saying white communities are bad for having high homeownership. It’s more a matter of saying how can we promote homeownership on other communities, especially considering that these communities are now at a comparative disadvantage because of past policies that everyone agrees were unfair and anticompetitive
@CorneliusSwart Dude we are talking North and North East Portland though. I grew up here on the corner of Columbia and Banks street in Saint John's. I now live right down the road on the other side of MLK.
The majority of blk people that lived in homes owned them. They were dirt cheap and a lot of times you couldn't give them away.
Every single blk person I know and I grew up in a majority blk neighborhood first thing they did when they got a little money is move. Every single one of them.
Got a good city job ?
They moved
Finally finished your degree ?
They Moved
Expecting your first child ?
They moved
Inherited your completely paid off grandmas house ?
Try to sell it and move.
These are the real life stories of my childhood friends.
How big did the population of black people grow in Washington, Columbia and Clackamas during this so called gentrification ? I watched my friends flee and 30 years later they still never moved back.
And guess what ? They all moved to majority yt neighborhoods.
Why is that ?
You couldn't give away a house on Alberta in the 80s early 90s
Why is that ?
And then when yt people moved into the neighborhood the home prices skyrocketed to much higher than the national average.
Why is that ?
No one wants to ask the honest questions.
Instead we sit back and watch blk people suffer.
Why is that ?
@@oldmanemptyhouse7659 Start at minute 11:57. I think you will see what you just described. But just because you knew black homeowners did not mean you knew everyone. It is just not true that the majority of residents in Albina owned their homes. The homeownership rate data for Albina is public record. Also, look at minute mark 29:00-30:00; here, residents talk about crime in the 80s and how you would get out of the neighborhood if you could get a few thousand dollars for your house. I agree that many people had those choices: to sell or hold. Many did sell or fled as the neighborhood declined and opportunities opened up for them. But the majority of neighbors were renters. And it really wasn't until the 1990s that the redlining got addressed, so loans were hard to come by.
The music is so loud can’t hear the people talk. Bad.
I'm very sorry that you had technical issues. We have never gotten that comment in the 3 years that this has been up on RUclips. Everyone's playback device is a little different. You might try a different device, or using or not using headphones/earbuds.
Just watching this today and it's just sad. I would not have left,giving them exactly what they wanted. I would've stayed.
If you don't leave then they send in code enforcement to give you fines and if that doesn't work they raise taxes
How is allowing Trader Joes to build on an UNDEVELOPED LOT and bring jobs directly into the neighborhood gentrification??? These folks want more government funding & quick promises instead of actual long term improvement.
Gentrification is when people get priced out of the neighborhood and the jobs actually don't go to the people who live there. I think you missed a few things in the documentary.
They're not the one who gets hired most of the time
same in Hamburg
That generational wealth helped you to buy your house.
So is it a negative to leave something for your kids, in order to help assure their success?
@@christopherswartz4116 no and stop being obtuse. It's wrong to ignore the privilege you have while at the same time ignoring the fact that people who look like you were afforded that privilege while they intentionally prevented blacks from the same opportunity.
@@richardellis8076do shut up, most people don't get homes passed down, we work hard to learn skills and earn the privilege of home ownership.
Gentrification (today) affects everyone! low income people , which is most of us have been priced out of our own flippin towns.
Why is this always about race? I've lived in or near Portland my entire life and had to move because of rising costs. I'm not black. I know black people who can still afford to live to there. It's a class issue, not race. Ridiculous. Never the real aggressor is blamed. I miss old Portland where the races mixed and none of us were really that rich. Art abounded and not everything was for sale. Sorry I can't feel bad for a woman who's had a house built for her while I've had to move into a tiny bedroom in my parents house. Even with a good job! She's got a great place and it's tough times?!?! What?!??? You're excluding the suffering of non black people while you focus on someone with a gorgeous house. You really need to take a look at this logically. I wanted to watch this, maybe re edit it so it's inclusive of all races. Looks like good history except the white guilt you want to impose. Tell everyone's story!
Thanks so much for watching the film. We appreciate it. I would clarify, because it's an important issue that a lot of people bring up. It is about race insomuch as housing policies and banking policies were based on race. Wealth is inherited, and so is poverty. While the laws changed, the chain of inherited poverty has not changed much. So, this is why there is a racial disparity between those who can afford to stay in NE Portland and those who cannot. Also, the black people we spoke with felt dismissed by the new white residents. Different black people had different ways of responding to racism, but ALL black people we spoke with reported experiencing racism. That's just how they feel that's their experience and to say that's not important or not real is to dismiss it/them. All that said, I agree, I also long for simpler times in the neighborhood. They were good for me. But I can only speak for myself.
That’s your opinion everyone has one
Where is Nikki Williams now? Can we get a update?
You can find a podcast interview with Nikki in Dallas on our RUclips channel.
I stopped shopping at Trader Joe's. They are anti union.

Yeah that's the problem! You guys can't choose to remain on Section 8. You gotta fight for stronger, stronger personal financial growth.
Welcome to Texas!
When you’ve had many years to change your situation and you choose to stay comfortable, not save, educate yourself, learn a marketable skill, improve your situation. Things may change around you. In other words. If you don’t change, things may change. I’ve said it many times. The best way to stop redlining, is to stop buying “red bottoms”!
To be honest I didn’t know a lot of black ppl lived in Portland
it is still happening, though these days it based on monetary class segregation...Just so happens that the poorest among us happen to be minority's as well....If you got money your welcome, if your strugglin financially, your not.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She said immigrants and n.... gs We got so many reasons why where in these situations so much self-hate and lack of knowledge of self. Just lack of good values and was given something else and we bit the bait but we was warned we just didn't listen. Single household rain by woman raising up boys when they should be with their fathers and men and women should be together. Martin Luther King had family Malcolm x had a family we just done everything backwards and willingly. None of this is normal and that's why we're in these situations. If we just give him the stuff back and get our values together just the working Man and working woman like any other ethnic group and just be kind to one another we can make it. I wish that sister well and I hope she get husband man.

If you're a black homeowner, gentrification is quite beneficial.
It's beneficial on an individual level but overall for the community it's bad because most black people will be forced to leave
No it's not, don't speak for Black people..
So forget all black people...funny..That's ehy this race is failing no unity

It's time people will adjust to a life where skin color does not really matter. There should not be black, white, asian, latino and whatever else neighbourhoods. Lets put the past behind us, learn from it and move on. Let everybody move where they want to. I'm from Canada, increases in rent and housing have gone up sky high. There need to be affortable housing for all, no matter of skni color. We live in a smaller older home in the suburbs and plan to stay here. There is a mix of races, skincolors, and nationalities that people come from. We have relatives from indigenous to Asian and black people. What does it matter. Together we are strong, not by fighting and blaming the other. Housing prices do not discriminate. All colors have to pay.
This LARGE wmn got a free house and she has the most complaints.
And she got her neighborhood cleaned up and crime free. In return she hates the people who did it. She wears her racism in her sleeve like a swastika.
thanks for nothing. Get a job
I am white, I was priced out of Portland too. Why do you have to be black??
I grew up in a nice suburb called Lakewood Colorado, its since been completely torn down and rebuilt as condo burbs. Things were better but that does not give government or anyone the right to destroy the rights of property.
ownership.
Lady please

So she sold her house to move to a section 8 community?
No, she moved to Oaks Park in Dallas. It’s a pretty middle class black neighborhood.
Nikki literally ate all her free money 🤣🤣

Maybe it's the times we are in, but all the guilt trips and sob stories.... I just plain do not care. The 'activists' in 2020 ruined a lot of attitudes, thank them.
Why do you even need a section 8 voucher ma'am?
Of course that little girl ended up getting knocked up before her 20’s…smh.
You sound so gross
Why are there always half's and in-betweens speaking for blks?
