why do you say everything is the liberals' fault,
when it is mostly you conservatives racial profiling
and locking everyone up for petty crimes, and by
the time they get out, they are second and third
class citizens with criminal records?
Well the real issue with this whole thread is the presumption that prior to 1960 (aka before the invasion of those horrible black and brown folks), the low income neighborhoods in NYC were utopias filled with law abiding citizens who spent their days playing cards, reading to their children, and being the moral, respectful upstanding citizens who would never fight, get drunk, or partake in any illegal activities, gangs, or anything of the sort. Just good clean wholesome neighborhoods. As I said, anyone that has knowledge that predates 1960s knows the reality that these low income neighborhoods were in fact much worse than they are today...but that doesn't really jive with the whole "liberals are to blame" and "black people have ruined everything."
And then you have Websterguy adding to the revisionist history claiming people of color, especially those Black ones, are doing poorly because of liberals and their policies in the 1960s...and he ignores everything else as if nothing ever happened prior to 1960. History begins in 1960, and everything before that is really inconsequential and merely a footnote. I can't imagine why anyone would rise up and have major social upheavals in the 60s..according to these guys..everyone was so happy and life was perfect pre 1960!
If we were to remove all those "liberal policies of the 1960s" which are ruining this country (according to Websterguy), interacial marriage would be illegal, women would have limited education (they could not even go to an IVY league school), segregation would be alive and well, redlining would be normal, and on and on.
Those damn liberals and their nonsense equality are just ruining everything....at least according to Websterguy.

thank you, I hate it when people oversimplify history.
Not to be racist becuase im latino. But most places with mostly black people are the worst neighborhoods now. Same goes to areas with predominanetely latino. However im not afraid of any place that has mostly latino bc they are not known for as much murder as the black areas area mostly muggings/robberies.

Yes....very true. Predominantly black neighborhoods come in first as the most dangerous then predominantly spanish neighborhoods come in a distant second.
As a whole, spanish people are not as violent as black people. Just about any predominantly black neighborhood with a very few exceptions, are dangerous areas. And I just don't mean in NYC, I mean in all over the US.
Look at the show on A&E called "The First 48", 98% of the killers are blacks, 98% of the crimes occur in black neighborhoods.
Lost Boy, if you were smart you would understand WHY neighborhoods of color are poor, and overwhelmingly segregated. Learn your history...does anyone actually learn and remember things, or does what happened yesterday just become irrelevant?

So predominately black neighborhoods such as Laurelton, Cambria Heights, Rosedale, Queens Village, St Albans, East Elmhurst and Springfield Gardens are considered dangerous neighborhoods????
"In Queens, the median income among black households, nearing $52,000 a year, has surpassed that of whites in 2005, an analysis of new census data shows."
"Among married couples in Queens, the gap was even greater: $78,070 among blacks, higher than any other racial or ethnic group, and $74,503 among whites. "
Their is too much zig-zagery in this thread, so I am going to put this as simple as possible. How did normal places ( low-income neighborhoods become a bad place? )
USA Civil War happened, the South lost, meaning their comodity, the non-european was worthless.
However they did not give up with out a fight. They had indentured servants, gave the worst tasks, food, and pay to non-european persons. Simular to how Hong Kong was ran uptill the mid 1990's. They gave the best jobs to the white man. Basically the same as Jay H. Walder, who is currently in Hong Kong, dealing with the MTR orBrookfield CEO Richard B. Clark teasing the Mayor with a lawsuit.
Places in NYC before the lost era, had millions of non-european people,
who are of real slave decendency, and had real African cultures. However it was all white washed. The same with the South, and other places in the USA.
Around the time of the lost era, we had a drout, and depression. and during that time, many people had no jobs. The goverment had to make programs to stimulate trade. Asides for borrowing from other nations, which is the lowest it could go, devaluing the dollar.
After the lost era, people did not want to see anything that was alien to them. Mostly light skinned, or close as white people, could get. The movement was basically "We got the Japanese out, now lets get rid of the rest". This sparked the zoot suit riots, among other race riots. However this was soon forgotten. These things is what started the decay.
Afterwards, we had things that lead up to the civil rights movement.
Malcom X is basically the fire starter. Where he would challenge people who
did not welcome non-europeans. The primary fire starter was when the goverment was trying to erase the effects of civil rights with drug related crimes. You can all tell me, about how often officers will plant goodies on people.
That was peace, and that is where our society stopped. The biggest effects in our society was.
Civil War
Indentured servants
Lost Era WWI, WWII
Great white flight
Zoot suit riots
Korean war/Vietnam occured but at this point nobody really cared about these wars at all, because it was a fight for communism, when in truth, war is a business as well..............................
Civil Rights
Malcom X?
War on drugs 1970's
Commercial era Coca Cola 1980's. Nothing really changed at all. They called it the age of restoration. Super 80's Nothing really changed in the 1990's.
So basically all of these things from the 1970's was commercialized.
Then the Prison culture kicked in, because many people locked up, was released. Then most of these people put themselves back in prison.
2001-2010 Our focus was terrorism. For something that was started by European Imperialization, and Zionists. We also had anti-Latino, where a woman proclaimed that Spanish is a terrible langauge.
Now we are in a time, when, once again the light skinned, and for sure europeans are the only prefered. Everybody wants to be like them.
Anti Negro where American people ( Black Americans ) are not popular anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to fill that gap of events, please do so.
The flat fact is the prison culture, and youth culture ( gang culture ) never did become doctors, lawyers, and businessmen. They never saved their money, or planned ahead. They live in homes that was without fathers, and childish mothers, who had little help. They have dreams, where nobody in this nation had any faith in them. They do not even know the loop holes, in the law. They are without love. This is what pretty much happened, and answers many questions.
That is what happend to the entirety of America. Nobody had faith in their children, and left them to die in the middle of nowhere. Some survived and are using nationwide programs to get somewhere. Eventually they get desperate, insane, or starts to see the world from another light.
...............
You want to talk about Latin/Spanish crimes.
Spanish Americans = African Americans.
They have the same problems but the europeans love them more, like the Asians. Everybody is dirty. If Americans all spoke Espanol, it would be the same exact thing but English speakers would be a minority.
So predominately black neighborhoods such as Laurelton, Cambria Heights, Rosedale, Queens Village, St Albans, East Elmhurst and Springfield Gardens are considered dangerous neighborhoods????
What part of "just about" didn't you understand? Did I ever say ALL? Nope!
The sad reality is that you and I can count on one hand the non-ghetto predominately black neighborhoods HOWEVER we BOTH need our hands and toes to count GHETTO PREDOMINATELY BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS. Am I making that up?
