I live in a "white" neighborhood. I've lived in a white neighborhood my whole life. Here's what I've noticed over the past 15 years:
I live in a suburb of New Orleans LA (NOLA). I live in a "Parish" outside of New Orleans city-limits. It's approximately a 15 minute drive from my house to downtown NOLA. I've seen many neighborhoods go from REALLY good to REALLY bad. Most of the good-to-bad neighborhoods are in NOLA or certain outskirts that have gone from bad to worse. However, I now understand and see how these neighborhoods have gotten so horrible. The trend I'm about to explain is common and all too familiar to many people. Here's what I've noticed taking place in my own neighborhood:
20 years ago, my neighborhood was all white. ALL WHITE. Literally ZERO violent crime - NONE. Yes the occasional domestic violence, disturbing the peace, maybe a car burglary here-and-there and perhaps a few weed offenses. But nothing really bad. The local McDonald's fast-food restaurant was a place where young high-school kids could get their first job (one of my first after-school jobs was at this McD's). Me, my friends and other white kids worked there. We were brought up well and were trained on how to act and behave when dealing with others. There were a few black people working there - the ghetto blacks worked the kitchen/janitor and never held a position that required face-to-face interaction with customers. The "white" acting black people (nice hair, no face/neck tattoos, no gold teefs, spoke proper English, etc....) were given jobs that did interact with customers. After a while things changed.
Over the years I've seen this McDonald's go from good to bad to worse to horrible. After a while it seemed the white kids would work there for six months to a year, then go off to college, trade-school or at least attempt to get a better job. But the black folks stayed put. Had no desire to educate themselves. No desire to learn a trade. No desire to even move up the ladder at McDonald's in order to better themselves. So they stayed there. They stayed at McDonald's in the same position and seemed to be okay with that - except when it came to their pay. A 3 year employee at McDonald's who has been a cashier since day 1, with no desire, attempt or effort for promotion, actually thought she deserved a high salary simply for working at the same establishment for 3 years. ???? Seriously???? So needless to say she's upset. She then mouths off to her fellow employees The white workers seemed to understand that you're pay is based on your skills and your value to the company. The black workers didn't grasp that concept. They seemed to think that they deserve a high salary simply for being there and working. I even explained to them that they can quit at anytime and go find a job somewhere else. Even explained how if they did quit, McDonald's wouldn't lose anything as we would find someone else to do their job within 24hrs. Again, they didn't like that. So here we are - a staff of young people. White kids realize this is a temp means to end while the black kids thought it was their means.
The moral of the story is VALUES. Somewhere, somehow and someway black folks have become lost and immoral. Why? Because after the "civil-rights movement" of the sixties, blacks have come to depend on hand-outs rather than earning their own way. Apparently Affirmative Action, Welfare, WIC, Food-Stamps, Free Healthcare, Free Abortions, Obamaphones and all other "REPARATIONS" aren't enough. Wake-Up Black Folks! You're destroying yourselves.
