The fact that these are often African-Americans is not so much a

to the cultural inferiority of blacks as it is a statement about how
our basic
economic structure is racist. Along with Gregg, of course....

In Houston and Dallas, they chased all the poor people out, leveled the
ghettos, and installed yuppie housing for the unwashed masses who toil
downtown. The suburbs then become the new "inner city".

What is ''the Eye and where is it''?

There is a big building in Minneapolis which has a hole near the top
center of the building.Is that ''the Eye''?

More like a Gentry-Fried Square on Acid

Dave the suburbs remain the suburbs : They
may become run down and even 'ghettoized'
-but- They will never become the 'inner city' since
they are located outside the City proper.

downtown is downtown and up-town is up-town
and the suburbs ain't in-town at all ~ RHF

Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Looking at the sky, starry-eyed
Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed
Crying in the night, teary-eyed

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Wonder when I'll find paradise
Somewhere there's a home sweet and nice
Song text taken from stlyrics.com
Wonder if I'll find happiness
Never give it up now I guess

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

There's no need to search anywhere
Happiness is here, have your share
If you know you're loved, be secure
Paradise is love to be sure

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Do you remember Nick's Snow White restaurant that used to be in Oakland?
On my way to Vietnam in January 1964, I spent four days and nights in
Oakland.One time some guys and myself were looking around in Oakland, we
stopped off at Nick's Snow White for dinner.The guy who ran the
restaurant wouldn't let us pay for our meals.

I know Nick's Snow White was torn down to make way for new construction
projects in that area.Not many years ago, I emailed the Oakland main
library about that restaurant.A guy at the library sent me a reply.I
still have his email reply in my email inbox.
