Look...The "cops" didn't fix nothing. The PEOPLE got tired of that bull.. Tire of the crackheads..tired of fighting..just plain tired. I read most of your post..and you sound as if you know EXACTLY what the ill's were that affected those neighborhoods. Question... Crack and all the other drugs invaded the poorer sections of NY since the mid'60'...[with the crack explotion during the early 80's]. What happened to REAGANs WAR ON DRUGS?.. What happened to the DEA's efforts to stop drug trafficing? How could an person move in a nab a set up a CRACK HOUSE..and STAY they for years? They don't make cocaine in the inner city..it has to be imported,just like guns... I'll tell you exactly what happened,and it Will be the truth with no sugar coating involved...[most of you cats wont like it..but since we are being blunt it doesn't matter how you feel. It all started with the Black Awareness movement...during the 60's..Black People were coming into their own..doing..and LIVING like the AMERICAN DREAM..trying to improve their lives.. Getting JOBS that ordinarily would passed on the the other man..or told they did Not qualify for...buying homes..owning property and so forth. VOTING..ELECTING city officals..THAT became a threat to the "old way of thinking" people in charge.[If these people woke up..they might start taking our jobs,moving into our neighborhoods,even dating our children!].. Whole neighborhoods were then blacklisted..no loans..no grants..houses were ALLOWED TO CRUMBLE..BURN..to the grounds..FIRE response was slow,Police treated people like they were ANIMALS,and they were the ZOO KEEPERS..you couldn't even TALK to a cop. Supermarkets were far a few in between...but none of those things stopped the people from STRIVING to make a better life. It was a war..waged on people of color by the WHITE MAN though economics..and when that didn't work..the WAR shifted to mental and spiritual levels. Put them DOWN..KEEP THEM DOWN..and give them something to MEDICATED those feelings..Keep them from getting involved with the daily operations..make it HARD for them to keep their families together.. Place a bunch of rules for them to abide by..and IF the break them,take away their children..look them up..specifically the MALES of them household. Dump a shit load of DRUGS in the nab..which would tear the life blood out of them.Keep the families on the SYSTEM..so they would NOT want to enter the MAINSTREAM...but only give them enough so they could barely live off.Keep the schools at SUB PAR levels so the children would not be as smart as WHITE CHILDREN. That was the plan..and it worked for a while..untill people of faith UNDERSTOOD what was going on..and FOUGHT like their live depended on it[it did]. The drugs that were killing us off...? People became TIRED of that bullshit..when they FINALLY found out it was a GOVERNMENT PLAN to keep us out of the loop or kill us off. SAY NO TO DRUGS WAS the CLARION CALL to the FEDS FROM BLACKS ACROSS THE COUNTRY...[You want to KILL US..then you going to have to find another way..] Now since DRUGS have fallen off..[became as outdated as Calvin Clein Jeans]..neighborhoods have become safer..a NEW threat has come into play.. White folks..who would NEVER enter a Black/Latino area[its not safe] started moving into the "Hood".. Why? Besides being PRICED OUT OF MANHATTAN,where the rents were climbing though the roof..these "URBAN PIONEERS" opened up a realestate nightmare..where a group of them would purchase a home..fix it up..sell it at twice or maybe three times the price they bought it for,driving up rents..making it harder for the people that ALREADY LIVE HERE to find a home. New developments popping up all over the place,priced out of the reach of the natives...intentional so,mind you...to section the locations WHERE the poorer people can live..namely the housing projects..or family homes passed down. This NEW movement sucks royal ass..and if it were up to me...it wouldn't happen.Its another form of "lets take everything they have,and keep em down,bunch them up...with just enough to live"... It shows that you know nothing about the inner city..and you should do a little research BEFORE you pass judgment. |
