Class War

This is all the more fitting, considering it’s written right near Freeman’s Town, a.k.a. the place where poor black folks used to live before well-to-do white folks began building big-ass townhouses.

I used to live a couple blocks behind here, in a fourplex two doors down from where Reality Bites was filmed. Does that make me a solider in the gentrifying army? I guess so, although I think those fourplex-laden streets have been Anglo-riffic for years, whatever that’s worth, and it’s not like our landlord ever did shit to fix the place up.

Perhaps that’s why it says “class war” instead of “race war.”
