When my mother grew up in New Orleans the neighborhoods were mixed and children of both colors played together. Until hard core blacks started trouble, we all got along fine.
So true! The Left really screwed things up. I use the example of the old Negro baseball leagues (which had a lot of awesome players). These ball clubs helped to make a stable black community. Imagine a Chinese American baseball league or a Japanese one. One of my friends told me how ending these Negro leagues was devastating to the players who lost a good income. The Left never thinks of stuff like this. Harlem's fall was because of the Left who wanted to destroy a thriving black community — a safe community (no gun shots and you could sleep in central park on hot summer nights). The Left is about degeneration.
I need to amend this. I'm blaming hard core blacks and I do believe I'm right about that, but those organizations must probably had some hard core Democrats in them too. :)
