Anyone with any common sense would move away from Memphis. The Mayor and the City Council that run the city are as corrupt as Chicago's. When Dick Hackett left the city was equal with white to black...50-50. The election of Willie “Hump me for a school promotion” Harrington was the harbinger of decay. The city is now 75 black and 25 white. Progress. One takes their chances traveling into the city now days where the police no longer report the true crime statistics.

The city is now 75 black and 25 white.

Back in the 50's when I was a kid, that same part of Memphis was 70% white and 30% black. And Memphis was voted the cleanest city, the quietest city, and the safest city of its size in the country.
