We had a black section in hammond, one central area, that was the norm then. 5 years ago I went back, it was a different place, the blacks were now in several areas, the latinos had several sections,but the homes were kept up, but it was a different city. A lot of the industry was gone,a few older strip malls were abandoned, most small mom and pop businesses were gone. Screens on business store fronts. The "down town" shopping area, almost deserted. It was really a downer to see that, but time goes on.

When I see that happen to cities....I blame White people. White people enslaved these poor blacks a few years ago and it will take more than a few years to escape the slavery and to heal the scars. These people had chains on their legs a few years ago and you White people expect them to get their act together in just a few short years!!??!!??!! My gosh your insensitive to their history of abuse. No other race has ever been so victimized or stolen from their great country with chains. Their country is so much better and they want to go back which is why they wear African gear and speak Ebonics....their native language. Hey White people have a heart and help a brother out!!!!

LMAO..................Yea what Don said. I know I lay awake at night thinking about how I could make things better for the poor innocent throttled black community. They have no way to get out from under the white man's thumb.
