Is Ditmas Park Blog Racist?

This is a question that long time residents should be asking themselves. It appears that this website that is supposed to promote our neighborhood does not allow African-Americans or other minorities to post. One could say that they are trying to purge long time minority residents both online and off. It isn't enough that they have made a concerted effort to drive out the minority businesses on Cortelyou, now they want to drive out the remaining minority residents in an effort to create their all-white utopia in Brooklyn.

As someone who has been here before these people were probably ever born, I will not be silenced.

Welcome

This website will be dedicated to exposing those who seek to gentrify Ditmas Park and force the long term residents - many of which are minorities out.

I am a long time resident having raised five children with my husband who is a doctor. When we first moved here it was a neighborhood of middle class blacks and immigrants. No more. A few of my fellow friends and neighbors and I have formed the Friends of Ditmas Park group and plan to do everything possible to make Ditmas Park what it was before.
