Fifteen years ago, our family escaped a crime-noise-and-dirt city environment to a suburban economic development area of our state, where large taxpayer investments were supposed to support an entire new town of shopping, neighborhoods, schools and recreation. Our new neighborhood represented the American population closely -- about 13% blacks, a few Asians and "others", and the majority white. The houses and shops were upper middle market. It was quiet, it was safe and you could spend the entire day with your doors open to the breezes. The black families who lived here were mostly professionals, intending for their children to have safe schools and mainstream neighbors.
Within a couple of years, "helpful" Democrats soon cried racism, gerrymandered the school district and announced that our local schools would achieve 85% black population through busing kids from the area ghettoes.
You can guess how rapidly the housing values dropped, the attrition of professional people of both colors began, and the turning of the neighborhoods. Now there is 95% "minority" in the schools, there are knives, guns and police at the lovely new suburban school buildings, the malls have deteriorated and are half-emmpty and/or dangerous, and neighbors are keeping their doors locked all the time.
Our people need to come together. White, Black, Asian, Hispanics and others and tell our politicians that they have gone to far. Things today are getting worse than prior to 1964. The politicians are going to force race wars on us and hate is going to take over. Just look at all, and I mean all, of our major cities. Attitudes today are worse than I’ve ever seen. The authorities in our cities have let things go from bad to worse by caving in to political demands to be fair to all instead of enforcing our laws.
I was raised in Los Angeles at a time that a kid could ride his bike any place, even at night. Parents didn’t worry about them, they were totally safe. Today, parents have to be concerned about even driving their cars in Los Angeles. One time I took my kids to the home where I was raised and my parents got mad that I took my kids in that area of Los Angeles. As a kid, I never worried about Blacks, Asians or anyone else. We were all the same as far as we were concerned. In the service, we worked along side of people of every race. It didn’t matter to us.
Things have to change or we are going to go to war with our own people and it won’t be pretty.
