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

1976.... 8 years after legal apartheid ended.

Northerners showing how not racist they are.

The Spencers must have been boule to afford a 6 bedroom house.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Those white kids in the video probably grew up to be police officers, politicians, doctors and nurses, judges and job managers. Lord knows how many Black lives they ended up screwing over.

I worked around that area feels like a black suburbia, alot of Caribbean families and alot own their homes outright. It's cool because it doesn't even feel like your in NY.

And fukk those cacs

I was bussed into that neighborhood to go to school. The whites ran out of there and moved to Long Island or upstate NY. Entire area is black as fukk now. Non FBA black but still black.

It’s basically a West Indian American neighborhood now.

" In the summer of ’74, Tony and Glenda Spencer bought this 7-room house on 136th Avenue. They came to New York from the West Indies after living in London. Spencer, a photo- engraver in Manhattan said they just wanted a good place to live. But some whites suspected them of block-busting, of trying to force lower property values on Rosedale homes so other blacks could afford to buy here. Before the Spencers moved in their house was set on fire with gasoline. They moved anyway. On New Year’s Eve Day a year ago, while the Spencers and their son slept, a pipe bomb exploded on the porch and smashed through the windows of the house. Police said the bomb was intended to wipe out the family. Attached to the bomb was a note that read: “******, be warned. We have time. We will get your firstborn first.” It was signed: Viva Boston. KKK."

Mike Biggio, unemployed accountant, bought his house in Rosedale for his mother, now deceased. Biggio is one of two men charged with bombing the Spencer home. They were acquitted

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.

There are tons of neighbor like in Philadelphia. Their are neighborhoods that as recently as the late 90s- Early 20s were Jewish-Italian, Italian, Irish-Italian.
