The Black Channel Films is working on a documentary that goes in depth about the true underlying effects of Gentrification. So much is happening within the Black community today it’s hard to keep track of all the issues.  Police officers have come into our communities and murdered black men and women with no repercussions.  How can this happen?  We don’t see these murders happening in the Asian community.  It’s not apparent in the Arab or Latino community but prevalent with Black people.  You cant point at just one location either.  Think about this St. Louis, New York, Cincinnati, Charleston, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Oakland are just some of the cities where black men and women were murdered.  So it’s not just the East Coast, West Coast, Midwest or the South it is all over.  One consistent thing is in none of these major cities there are no true black owned communities.  We also know that a number of Blacks are being funneled out of certain areas in these cities.  The term Gentrified is commonly used and most think it is just simply moving out of a neighborhood.  It goes much deeper than that and this film will connect the dots on all the different players involved in Gentrification.  Be on the lookout for when this film comes out and we will keep you updated on Jayforce.com.

Explaining how police are allowed to intimidate and even kill to remove Blacks from cities, this clip from the upcoming documentary “Gentrified” features NYC City Council Candidate Thomas Lopez-Pierre with narration by Jason Black
