“They believe Black folks to be criminals.”

There is massive evidence to support that belief. I saw the same dynamic, first hand, in Virginia Beach in the late 1980s.

I used to live in Va Beach. They came and tore the place up. Got kicked out of Va Beach and went to Myrtle beach and did the same thing. I guess they have moved to Ga now.

It’s not just a coastal issue. Grew up in a small town near East St Louis. Every August for 70 years at least we held a Homecoming in the park. Parades, Drum and Bugle Corps, rides and cook outs. Highlight of the summer. About 10 years ago, bus loads of “teens” began arriving from East STL and the usual mayhem would ensue. Got so bad after a few years that the town fathers had to cancel Homecoming to protect our citiens and property...residents are still upset.
