one of the very first stories ever read about a white community destroying a black community boiled down to simple envy.

two communities, one black, one white, lived adjacent to each other. the blacks were obstinately outcast from the larger white town and in turn, formed their own community.

in short, an economic downturn bankrupted many of the whites; the blacks were rock solid and continued to thrive.

the combination of blacks buying up failed white farmland; whites having to patronize black establishments for goods, and sheer unearned pride led the whites to "Tulsa" the black community.

the black folk did not reincorporate and dispersed. while the whites and their town barely hung on for a while, before it again failed. it only lives on as a name on old maps.

odd thing, even on modern maps there appears to be an area of expansive farmland where those towns once were. in comparison to the peppering of towns all along the state's roadways, that area is abnormally sparse. almost as if the map had a scar.

The police are there to collect revenue, not "protect and service".
"Law Enforcement Officers" are nothing more then muscle for the state mob.


The current way most police are managed these days, I'd have to say this is quite true. The town neighboring mine is a very tiny town. The police are notorious for pulling people over for the sake of earning cash. 1 mph over - pulled over. Not white - increased chance of pullover (very white town). Drive a truck - avoid main street if possible. They love to ticket big trucks, especially semis (delivering goods to local businesses by the way). One cannot even try passing by a car, even slowly, if they are turning right or left in front of you. If you try to go by, even with no other traffic, you'll get pulled over. In my town. You are lucky if you see a cop. Town has budget problems. Town hall has spiders and maybe one person (the clerk to pay off parking tickets). Meters are most definitely monitored very closely. Of course.
