		<description>In suburbia, another form of racial &quot;genocide&quot; is the policy to make it very easy for blacks and Hispanics to buy homes in the wrong: suburban neighborhoods are experiencing a much larger white flight than the inner-cities 40 years ago. Today, it is white yuppies and the rich are into moving back in the inner-city, since many suburban areas are relatively cheap for not-so-wealthy people of all races to relocate in.</description>

		<description>Young &amp; attractive yuppie females are more likely to end up pregnant, but they rather blame the lack of birth control pills or the morning after pill (and gasp, MEN!) than their own &quot;it takes two to tango&quot; method of human reproduction.

Meanwhile, the white collar workforce continues to vanish without a trace, and not only the blue collar worker is dying, what&#039;s gonna be available for Americans to work at? Oh yeah, McD&#039;s or Wal-Mart, but that&#039;s reserved for blacks (urban ghetto onwelfare) or Latinos (illegal aliens/migrant workers), because of this policy called Affirmative Action.</description>

		<description>We like to have a &quot;Stuff Hispanic People Like&quot; blog: #1 dress like a rancher every time you go out: get out your boots, black pants and button-up shirt, plus a vaquero hat. Very common sight in Hispanic (esp. Mexican) communities and this is habit among farm workers from the rural interior states. It is hip to be Latino...and a vaquero/ranchero.</description>

		<description>Sadly, this is what neighborhoods in Atlanta, Little Five Points (heck ALL of East Atlanta really), Ormwood Park (Where I grew up), Grant Park, etc have become. Like someone said it&#039;s a nice idea (to fix up run down neighborhoods), but bad for the natives of the area. Even though it sucks you can&#039;t entirely blame yuppies (well , yea most are to blame because most are carbon copies and like to follow each other from city to city and state to state) but developers are more to blame in my book than any one else. They sell the natives and the history of these neighborhoods out.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m an urban planning major and this, seriously, this is the fucking truth. People run in there because they want to see &quot;real&quot; and they end up ruining the culture, and all the people who lived there, almost always poor, end up being unable to afford living there anymore and they have to move. 

STUPID GENTRIFICATION!</description>

		<description>Ha ha, I hope you are joking.

If you&#039;re holding your breath for the day that they begin playing classical music on top 40 radio, I expect that you will suffocate.  Also, if you&#039;re convinced that nobody has written classical music since Vivaldi and Bach, you need to lift up the rock and crawl out from underneath it.  There has been a pretty good stream of unbroken creativity on the part of all sects of humanity since the end of the dark ages.  The threads are passed from one person to the next almost unconsciously.  Everything is connected, even classical music and stuff with heavy bass.  Don&#039;t overlook things simply because you associate them with a certain image that you believe has a negative connotation.  There are many ways of looking at and reacting to the world.  You may not relate to heavy bass, but other people do.  Classical music evidently reflects your reality more accurately, but I think that music like rock and rap relates just as directly to reality.  You can&#039;t just dismiss it, it exists.  People truly care about it and it is important.

I think gentrification is kind of shitty.  I think the problem seems to be an overall economic situation in which there is a large gap between the wealthy and the not so wealthy.  It seems that the solution is not &quot;cleaning up poor areas&quot; by replacing them with &quot;comfortable&quot; people and renovating, but to change the situation so that people in general are on more equal footing, because otherwise it&#039;s just whoever has the least money continuously losing out and getting displaced.

Language changes.  The language as it is used is most important.  There are no hard rules to language, it is all made up, after all.  If it has consistent rules of some kind that convey meaning, it is relevant.  The words you mention have meaning, regardless of the connotation you apply to them.

You can depend on change and that&#039;s about it.  Stay abreast or get left behind.

Frankly, your plan sounds a lot like the beginnings of a certain &quot;Final Solution&quot; involving putting certain types of people in little camps to &quot;insulate them from the higher classes&quot; and maybe eventually deciding that maybe the &quot;higher classes&quot; should just get rid of them entirely since they are like a big canker on the face of the eugenics plan.  Believing one type of person knows best for all types of people is always a mistake.  Difference and disagreement are important.  The warm fuzzy feeling of fascism occurs because the ideas are initially attractive or positive.  The danger, of course, is that the ends start to become more important than the reality of the means.

I hope you were being sarcastic.</description>

		<description>Modern art is cool, but there is some bad stuff.  There are also some really boring classical portraits and landscapes among the great ones.  Art seems to be primarily about conveying some form of truth, so it is not just realistic drawing technique that is responsible for greatness.  Beauty is found just as readily in dissonance as in harmony, because without one the other has no meaning.  It is realistic that art should draw from and embody both.</description>
