I am guessing the perpatrators (sp) come from East St. Louis. Enough said.
lastchance, I had to chuckle at your (sp) part. I have gotten the same way over the years. How do you spell this word? I would look up the correct spelling. Now I just say the hell with it. Someone will figure out what that misspelled word is.
I am a mid 80’s graduate of Belleville West High School and have a couple of siblings who graduating in the 90’s.
Some background info:
1) Belleville is mostly white,E. ST Louis is 98% black and they have ALWAYS had a low level racial loathing for each other.Both are heavily democrat cities.
2) In the early 90’s, many E.St.Louis families fled to Belleville to escape the ghetto hell and were followed by the same ghetto trash that tormented them in E.St Louis.
3) Their children began to attend the local schools and racial tensions began to accelerate.
4) The school district and the local media(Belleville News/Democrat) refused to acknowledge any of it like good democrats will do.
5) The good little democrats of Signal Hill and other wealthier neighborhoods of Belleville just gated their communities, sent their kids to Altoff or other private schools and left the simmering racial tensions for the poor whites to endure.
6) My siblings said Belleville West in the early and mid 90’s had a lot of unreported black on white crime.
7) What that video shows is quite common in MANY areas of the country that the media REFUSES to acknowledge.
8) Ironically, I went to a racially mixed high school in Montgomery Alabama before I attended Belleville West and their was very little tension there. The faculty, both white and black would not tolerate any crap from anyone.
9) In my travels, I have discovered the biggest racial incidents seem to take place north of the mason-dixon line.
