This video is yet another example of why it should be understood that people are being deliberately rendered, homeless. Since February, I have been trying to find housing, have even traveled across this country to find housing and all to no avail. I have been in the apartment that I am currently being pushed out of for FIVE years. Even through the plandemic, I paid my rent in FULL and before it was due and for that, I get evicted. So, this just shows that you can do everything right and still get shitted on. So, what’s the use? I am tired of kowtowing to scumlords while having no rights at all since I have done nothing but pay my rent, be a good tenant by causing no other tenants any issues and this is the thanks I get for doing everything right. I even saved up money for a down payment to buy a house, found a house that I could afford, called the bank for a loan and was turned down because….wait for it….I DIDN’T ASK FOR ENOUGH OF A LOAN FOR THEM TO EVEN BOTHER. I NEED TO ASK FOR MORE MONEY! Now, I know what I can afford, but the banks want us to overextend ourselves and thus they get to take the home back. A win/win for them and another big ass loss for us. Black folks can’t even break even, much less win. We pay our rent to these corporate scumlords and Black folks like me who have a solid rental history, no criminal record of any sort, not even a misdemeanor or a parking ticket and yet, I’m being forced into homelessness and why? I want someone to tell me the answer to that. Oh, I already know, but see, when I say that the answer is RACISM, I’m the bad guy here. I’m just pulling the racism card, they say. To hell with that. It IS what it IS; RACISM. So, play the video and hear me sound reasonable, speak the king’s English, explain the situation and yet the dude in the office that I am speaking with is clueless, has no authority and is basically just a glorified pencil pusher with no say over anything that goes on in that office. And in fact, since I spoke with him on the 29th of August, dude is no longer at the office. Some Black woman is now sitting in the chair that was still warm from his ass. But the Mexicans are welcome because the Mexicans who were in the office ahead of me, and dude can be heard in the video, his application was already stamped “APPROVED” while my FIVE year perfect record rental history means nothing. I get the heave ho to make way for the Mexicans. “All aboard Mexicans at the border, the bus is pulling out heading to ALL points, even Lynchburg, Virginia! All aboard!” Yeah! That’s what’s also taking place!! I told you dumb ass Black people about voting for the democrats or for any of those roaches, for that matter.
I am posting this blog on September 11th and I have heard not one word from Greenbrier Management/Bramblewood Apartments and I will not be hearing anything from them. But one thing about me, my life has been a living hell for all my years on this earth and so it is just business as usual. I have been homeless multiple times and so this is nothing new to me. And that is why I travel light. I have only two pairs of pants, seven shirts, two pairs of shoes, no jewelry except a watch, underwear and a few shorts because I don’t buy shit! I have never been an overzealous shopping fool because I hate everything that capitalism stands for hence my Avatar. For those of you who are comfortably seated in your homes, may you stay that way. But, unfortunately, eventually, where I go, you too shall go. It is just a matter of time especially seeing as the homelessness population is exploding moreso than the housed. Rents are skyrocketing, home prices are ridiculously high despite articles stating that they are on a downward trajectory. Banks want us to spend more on homes than we can afford, I’m not about to do that and so, I’m about to be on the road again!
Geez! Sorry, Shelby.

Thanks Richard. With the way things are going, it was bound to happen sooner or later, no matter if you do everything right, this is what’s going to happen to a lot more people besides me and has already happened to a lot before me. But thanks again!

Mysparkingthoughts, thanks, I appreciate your comment. I am actually getting EJECTED from Lynchburg and since ALL whites are in cahoots with each other, no matter where I apply for an apartment, I will be turned down because I have the balls to speak the truth. I don’t care what those racist slugs inflict on me, if I end up underneath a bridge, I am still going to try and find a Wifi hotspot and keep writing about those vicious shits! But I refuse to be silenced by them and that’s a fact.
Thanks again mysparkingthoughts.
