Then there’s MLK Blvd in Eugene, OR. Top flight medical facilities at both ends of a two (?) mile long street with Autzen Stadium (U of O football) in the middle.

Appropriately enough, the county juvenile “jail” is across the street from the stadium.

upper-end housing at the eastern end, as well.

The brown sugar festival? That is cultural appropriation of a bunch of skinny white British dudes. No wonder someone got shot.

Hard to really care anymore.
I guess LeBron would just say that they was just “playin”.
The community has no expectations for the people living in it, why should I or anyone else care?
Rhetorical questions of course.

Completely ignored by Miami media this week.

Same Miami media that will carry “news” about any alleged “racist” deed in any state in the union.

Speaking of black heritage We rent the movie Roots once or twice a year and play it backwards so it has a happy ending

It don’t take much. And it is always changing.
Should one enjoy celebrating birthdays, it is best if one avoids gatherings such as this.
