Sometimes you chase the story, and sometimes the story chases you.
Two weeks ago I’m walkin’ through Century City, the business, residential, and dining district adjoining Beverly Hills. This is familiar territory to me; it’s home. So I know when something’s not right. Like the bus full of black folks that came barreling past me down Avenue of the Stars.(Snip)
And bad news it was. The bus shat out BLM like a BM. Dozens of angry blacks with placards and bullhorns bellowing, “Whose streets? Our streets!”
(Snip)
“Man, we tryin’ to get face-to-face with a racis’ Jew gentrifier.”

The blacks defeated the upgrading of “their” mall by non-black developers. They are their own worst enemies.

Harlem. Real people, no agenda other than to thrive and survive. Activists are a growing cancer on Our Country.

Gentrification is often met with white-hot hostility in areas like south central LA. Even planting a nice garden and fixing up an aging home can be viewed as a threat. I wouldn't invest a dime in a mall in such a neighborhood.

It’s ridiculous that this is an edgy article. Everyone knows that blacks need to clean up their act. No other group can do it for them, regardless of all the virtue signaling tv commercials and hires.

Why even bother fixing something up in a black neighborhood? They will either infest it with crime or burn it down the next time they get mad over the police defending themselves. How about they get a good education, make a lot of money and invest in their own neighborhoods? Oh, that would be "acting White." Can't have that.

The black community in Los Angeles was on life-support after the Watts riots in 1965. The Rodney King riots in 1992 pulled the plug.
In the 90's my secretary was a native Angelino black, born in the mid 1940's. Helen shared stories of her childhood. She was raised around 54th & Vermont by a father who drove a garbage truck for the City of L.A. and a stay at home mother, raising two daughters and a son. Her parents were homeowners (mortgage holders), as were most of the families in her neighborhood. Fatherly occupations included construction, plumbers, electricians, police and firemen, and the local store owners on Vermont Ave. The black doctors and lawyers neighborhood was a few blocks over. They had their own stores, restaurants and night clubs. California never had Jim Crow and blacks were able to freely enjoy all Los Angeles had to offer.
The community never really recovered from LBJ's Great Society and the Watts riots. The successful black businesses never returned, nor the great restaurants and night clubs, but the middle-class neighborhoods hung on and were prospering by the early 1990's. Helen's sister and BIL bought the house next her father, now a widower, and raised their two boys. Against fellow students harassing her children as "acting white", Helen raised a paramedic, a secretary, and a high school basketball star who won a college scholarship. David graduated and became a high school English teacher and basketball coach. I was a welcome guest at family baby and bridal showers. However, Helen's son, BIL and father would walk me out to my car well before dark. It was from Helen I first heard about "the plantation".
Then came the Rodney King riots. Helen's father, BIL and the men from their neighborhood barricaded both ends of their street and stood armed guard during all three nights. The mob advanced down the secondary street several times, but when they saw the gun-toting homeowners they retreated. Several months after the riots Helen's father was followed home from the bank by a rogue gang banger. Mr. H. refused to give up his money and was shot twice. Before collapsing he was able to throw one of his garden bricks through the window of the perp's car as he sped away. Mr. H. never left the hospital, passing away two months later. His story was on America's Most Wanted and the killer was identified. The cops tracked him down to a seedy motel and when they busted in he was doing a Toobin. Word got out in the jail that he was the one who killed Mr. H., a respected older man in the community. The local boys delivered jailhouse justice. Helen said the best part of the trial were the new injuries on the killer at every court appearance. He was found guilty. Being California, he's long back on the streets.
The old neighborhood never recovered and entered a steep decline. Helen's sister and her family moved out, along with other middle class folks that were the anchor and hope for the community. All that are left are the feral humans, cannon fodder for the commies. Perhaps its time for blacks to give up their ethnic neighborhoods and assimilate into America, just like the Irish, Italians, Poles and Germans did. There is Candace Owens, Hershel Walker, John James, Kim Klasik and so many others that are successful Americans first, then...whatever. But this can never happen as long as the globalists prefer to use people's dysfunction and pain as a political tool.
By God's mercy, may communism be smashed.

Impossible to even capture the essence of this article in that little intro. The author goes on to talk about the last black mall which is in Baldwin Hills (near Los Angeles). Seriously decimated by age and the pullout of anchor stores, but possibly on the way back with a new developer - until George Floyd overdosed on fentanyl in Minneapolis. The deal has died. Cole describes the true condition of the “black belt” in LA - eaten away on the south end by an ever-expanding Hispanic community and on the north by gentrification. The blacks' numbers are so limited that we couldn’t help but notice that their BLM protests were largely padded with white lefties. This is long but it is an important read. We don’t often see this kind of candid on-the-ground reporting.
