learning change

most of these people don't acknowledge that even city funds that were allocated to various communities was done so by whites.. and they were disproportional allocated to black communities.. and this can be seen in "public schools".. where public tax money support public schools.. but this is a vivid example of the disproportionate division of funds.

some black areas don't get a street sweeper service.. some don't get the curbs painted.. some don't get a whole host of public service.. and they should no more have to beg for it than any other community... but if they don't scream and beg.. then they don't get it.. why??/ becase the community is ignored and left in such a state of diminished maintenance concerns..

the past Mayor.. cared only about the River front, Youree drive and Ellerby area. when Broadmore became more integrated .. the host of services diminished.. it's very evident and highly visible.. the same is true of Highland.. and many other areas.... including Queensborough..

now the mayor we have is saying .. nope ... no more of that BS.. we are going to fix all our areas and not just the river front and Youree and the Ellerby... and the sad thing is he is strapped with trying to clean up years of a biased mess.. that was created by the pre segregationist mindset that of how the city was managed and maintained..

but that is how racism has affected the city.. but it takes thinking to see it for what it is..

when the whites started to build suburbia's ... all the city managment and resources left the city for the suburbs... and when the suburbs became intergrated .. the resources left that section.. prime example is southern hills... there was not need to close the mall.. but the fact is .. the usage of it had become very much minority.. and they claimed any and every reason to close it.. so the focus could move to Youree.. but they did not put in the resources to fix nor stabilize the problems in southern hills.. it was left to fester and give more reason to declare it in demise.. becase the demographic's has shifted...

it does not take a genuis to see this... it's been repeated since the late 1940's.. and .. as the demographic change.. they will build.. on the back side of Ellerby.. if there was an administration in office that .. was all white and with the same mindset... they'd try to move everything further to areas that are predominantly white. and then they'd attach any and every negativism on the previous area.. to claim that blacks are the cause.. when the real cause is shifting usage of public funds, and diminished maintenance.. and a conscience effort to move... investments and funding and policing away from the area.


but now we have a change in administration.. the matter is.. it's a great deal of work to rebuild what other's have put in place to be declared demolition worthy.... and put much to cover that nature of motive... to undo that thaks a great deal of work.. and it may take three terms of mayorial service to change this..
