Richmond Voice: all black people are poor

The Richmond Voice has published another racist and poorly written piece on gentrification (previously), this time looking at Manchester:

Faison says she went to the library to investigate the history and found out the neighborhood was predominantly white. The high-dollar homes could be a clear indication that the neighborhood eventually will become what it was. Faison explains they are seeing high-dollar renovations on surrounding homes and $200,000 condos for sale. She adds, at those rates and prices the area will become too expensive for Blacks to reside in. [...] Although this plan is supposed to include everyone one question remains will Blacks be able to afford it?
