I hardly believe whole blocks have for sale signs up because the person living next to them happens to be black or some other ethnic group, hispanic whatever. It's because of crime and lower-class goings on. If you OWN your house, and someone next door, on welfare is spending 200 bucks a month, a real disparity, and they're treating the place like shit, which is bringing the value of YOUR home down, there's a problem. And of course whoever is doing it doens't care, wont' listen.Just like the whole WOW center thing where all the 14 bus drivers are being assaulted now. One just has to read the letters to the editor, even the cops are running as fast as they can. And last I remembered, the Northeast was redistricted, and some suburbianite can represent the area now. But that whole arm of the city didn't leave because, as some really want to believe, some black folk moved in next door. It's deeper than that. You're more than welcome to myrter yourself for some pretend race peace cause thing and ignore the whole root problem and the reason problems itself. Other cities are integrated just fine. But you know what, when you're whole neighborhood, including the cops and teachers are being terrorized and having their homes invaded and cars broken into, go ahead and make a race issue and say it's your own fault your car got stolen because you had some racial motives. Because I dont' know a single person up there(before they fled) who didn't have this problem. This is a totally different issue now, which I could do a whole book on if i wanted(i need the money, maybe i should). |
