So the blacks were not part of the city? That sounds like a good thing. I prefer living in the unincorporated areas. Lower taxes, simpler laws, etc.

Or why then didn’t the blacks incorporate their own city and then set out to show the whites that their city could be an even better, more vibrant place to live?

Instead we spend our energy spewing complaints.

I agree. Tennessee law as it exists allows cities to annex neighborhoods with no say so from the residents. We are in the process of remedying that.
