In 1955 the schools were intergraded by law, in the proceding years we saw white-flight to the burbs and we watched our cities fall apart from corupt politicians and very poor management, Detroit, New Orleans are just a couple of examples. In our neighborhood we had a first class movie theatre, built in 1980. It was a "all" white area of town then, it was a great clean place to go and enjoy a movie. Then blacks moved in about 5 years ago, to say the least it's gone down hill, crimes, drugs etc. We moved about 15 miles from our old neighborhood 5 years ago, the old theatre has annouced it's closing and building a new place 1 mile from our new home, we are very excited and happy once again. Well the blacks are protesting the closing, they have not made money in 3 years and have been robbed dozen of times, they are sick of it. The black people don't understand why they are leaving, they call this a racist move by the theatre. It's NOT, it's a move to a clean neighborhood.
Who's wrong

Sadly things like this happen... I'm black, but I live in a predominantly white neighborhood, I prefer it this way. In the city I live in, if one lives in a "black" neoghborhood its bound to be a run down ghetto with broken liquor bottles strewn across lawns, and boarded up houses on every block.
I think if black people want a nice prosperous neighborhood then they should work to make it that way.
But it's not only blacks that have crime and drug problems. In my neighborhood there are seven crack houses owned by mexicans and whites within a 4 block radius. There has been one raid with the SWAT team called in, I attest this by God, to the house next door to me. The neighborhood is quiet, no loud music blaring from cars, no drug dealers on the side of the road, no prostitutes begging kids for a dollar, houses are well kept and the neighbors are cordial to one another... If I can't live in a perfect neighborhood, I think I rather like living in the appearance of one.
Black people expect other people to accept them as they are with no changes and no exceptions and if you insist that they behave they call you a racist, and in my case "white washed" .... the reason why they don't seem to understand is because they honestly believe that the world should adapt to their low standards and would become a much better place if we all lived in a gangster's paradise...

I completely understand what you're saying. At one point are movie theater was completely white, now its the exact opposite. During the 8:00 and later films police are brought in to hold order. There's been riots in there for the past few years. The theater is in a mall and local stores are banning together for the close of it. All I here is how racist it is. Its not racist, its good business.

I'm not racist, so anyone on here do not accuse me of racism, but I think the theater did the right thing and what they did is not racist. I mean, would you work in a bad part of town, loosing customers and risking the chance of getting robbed, or work in a good part and get lots of customers and moret money too. I really wish that they would stop accusing people of racism for just doing their job. If you watch the job COPS, they call the cops racist because they are getting arrested. I mean, the cops are doing their job and the people were doing something illegal. I dont call them racist when they do what they want to do.

this is what happens when the primates move in, it doesnt take long for them to destroy thier community, and then they want to ask the white people to fund them on renovating what they tore up.
