The Fascination with Urban Culture

The fascination with Urban Culture.

We have been under a microscope for years. Every time we create they steal it from us.
This is nothing new for you all who have grown up in these urban communities, due to lack of resources and poverty we seem to have been gifted with this uncanny ability. We are creators, innovators and trendsetters, but we lack the business savy to know our self worth.

Now our communities are the target, in the Williamsburg area of NY it is now common for you to see upper middle class Caucasian hipsters bike riding in the once minority soulful hood of southside BK . We losing the fight and no one seems to care. We are now getting kicked out of our communities by pricing inflation, or by condemming apartments, kicking out tenants have lived there for over 25 years.

In a recent trip to Los Angeles the same hipsters can be seen wearing there designers jeans while drinking herbal tea. The fascination with our culture, they want to be like us except for the part of being poor. Drugs, lack of resources, and jobs destroyed what we created, now they can claim this is there hood.

We dont own shit in this country and never will. They are scared if we speak up, be obdient and play your position, Be more like Obama?
