Gentrification - Tumblr Posts
One of the things that’s already begun to happen is the mass exodus of white people from affluent cities and neighborhoods into the hood due to covid unemployment. And thus the mass gentrification process has begun.
Oh shit what. #greenpoint #nysc #gentrification #whatnext (at Starbucks)
Actually,Hobie isn't universal punk,he's afropunk.He's been black since his creation and the comics Spiderband has Riri Willians on it and he acts very distinctively black and his tastes are black too and the movies amped this up big time in design and personality-He has wicks,for goodness sake-and his relathionship in Atsv with Miles is a metaphor for black solidarity and his single love interest is a black woman from his Prowler verse.Hobie's black and punk and you cannot seperate these and i put black first for a reason cause white and nonblack poc punk Spiderman fans be outta pocket with him too often.Hobie's not a generic altie,he's a punk nigga and that's why he'd never be caught dead at Hot Topic or making himself a thirst trap or picking on his friends to be funny and thinks smoking is gross and isn't a cornball 'male feminist' but a womanist and is convinced he's unattractive and unappealing thanks to growing up in such a violently antiblack place like 1970s England that's even worse than our version thanks to it's fascist caused apocalyptic status and he said 'I hate labels' as a trans thing but specifically based off his gender experiences and gender trauma as a black person that led to him becoming unlabeled to begin with and it also refers to white people telling him he should just say he's english instead of jamaican-english.The latter half is headcanons based but all entierly from canon Hobie and irl blackness and has no contradiction because of how well-written he is.Hobie would not act,do or like something or someone just because it's aracial alt but he WOULD absolutely LOVE something if it's afropunk or even just regular black.Spiderpunk is black.Don't you ever take that from him or from me or from us(🖐🏼🖐🏽🖐🏾🖐🏿 < That being us).He's black peoples before he is anyone else's
Modern Colonization
You turn our castles into Capitalistic towers
You turn our language into cheap imitations
You turn our communities into forgotten laments
You turn our future into phantasmal dreams
This is the game you have played for generations upon generations
Destroying lands and desecrating cultures all in the name of your conquest of vanity
You oppressor; you colonizer
How long will you stand in envy
Of our heritage
Of our legacy
Of our culture
Of our skin color
Of our existence?
Never in your anger and your spite shall you ever obtain even a fraction of the beauty Mother Nature has gifted upon us
Though you may burn at your self-appointed stake, you shall never possess the eyes of a victim
We are the future you fear
We are th rebels you fail to silence
We are the Capital you shall never obtain.
