While what is said below is generally true there are no new buildings being built for the Olympics. It was one of the benefits of LA hosting the Olympics; we had the buildings & the transportation infrastructure was already on deck but yes gentrification usually displaces lots of black & brown folks

NEW STUDY

Since I was born, 500 Black neighborhoods have vanished

And 500,000 Black people have been lost

All due to urban revitalization projects

Like the one for LA’s new coliseum — for the Clippers and ‘26 Olympics — that’s destroying Inglewood

Took a look at MSNBC ratings since they fired 2 Women of Color from their shows... 👀

The channel was always liberal barely left of center. It would be nice to have a real progressive voice on TV. I worry about that future as billionaires buy the technology progressive voices are currently using.

Curtis yarvin is a white man who oddly enough doesnt give pdfile. he gives something worse.

See when you cant name the pervert that mean they are the worst kind

And it makes sense peter thiel whose an obvious self hating pervert follows yarvin.

Yarvin is a misanthrope and homicidal one at that

Angel Of Mine isn't really Monica's joint, but originally done by British R&B group Eternal.

While Monica was singing about loving on her man, the lead on this track was singing about loving on her kids

White people suffering is literally their fault. The system was built for you so if you’re failing… you’re a loser. Classism and elitism took you out huh? 😂😂😂😂😂.

Couldn’t pay me to care.
