By the mid-1970s, Black middle-class families were moving into the all-white hoods. Tensions rose!

I was born and raised in L.A. so I watched this while documentary and I couldn't believe this actually happened in damn near 1980..
We got racism in Los Angeles too, but not to the degree of the South, Midwest and East Coast.
I spent the last 3 weeks in the east coast all over and I definitely seen more subtle racism there than L.A. for sure...
Like white people expected me to get out of their way or something, shyt was definitely weird to me.

Truth be told a lot of blacks that move to white neighborhoods have thewhen they see another black family move in the neighborhood because they don't want the neighborhood to turn all black since that's what they was running from in the first place.

@GigoloGeoff the reason why many suburbs that have a lot of black folks in them still have lots of whites is because them racist white folks don’t really have nowhere to run to.
Unless they run to the ocean which I don’t mind
Yeah, where I'm at now, the only white people are older. The ones with school age kids will do whatever it takes to get out. I'm sure its the same with Rosedale.
Dude, this is the same thing that happened in L.A in the 70s and 80s. Compton was like 90% white. When housing discrimination was abolished and black people were finally able to purchase homes, white people left Compton in droves. Westside of L.A had a sizeable white population.
This happened all over the country. It boils down to whites not wanting their kids to go to school with black kids. They erect barriers to keep it from happening. First it was laws and now it is economics.
You'll notice the first wave of gentrification are made up of white gays, singles and young parents who can afford to send their kids to private schools. White families don't move into an area in large numbers until it is completely gentrified and the public schools are majority white.

Hempstead, Roosevelt, and Uniondale have few whites left. But these towns are about 50% Central American, so the vibe is much different from Roosevelt.
I live in Baldwin which has white flighted considerably (the HS is only 20% white), but not to the extent of SE Queens and you still see a lot of white people.
Yeah I lived in Hempstead, Freeport and valley stream, so I feel you
America has never had an immigration problem or a problem with integration.
It's always had a white people problem.
Black people just have to exist to be a problem. Apparently black people wanting economic mobility is one of the most frightening things to them and always has been.
They don't want to see us as their neighbors or as superiors or equals...
I remember when my family moved into the neighborhood they live in now, in 1993. a bunch of white families moved out. Maybe because they thought the property values were gonna plummet or that we'd bring other black people into that lily white enclave.
That never happened.
I always be telling other black folks, they ain't scared of us primarily they are scared of us ever becoming anything that could make them look tiny and force them to humble themselves...

For the life of me I swear I'll just live the rest of my life wondering what the fukk black people did to anybody on any level to deserve this type of treatment...
