It’s = it is or it has. Its = belonging to it. Come on, you guys.

Black family moves into a white neighborhood. White neighborhood reacts. (You forgot to mention that part, Allan.) 50 years later, it’s a black neighborhood, and whites move in. Black neighborhood reacts. Don’t know if the jokes work, and if there’s anything DEEPER than jokes, but it sounds like there would actually be some parallels with the Mission.
