Amelia, as a young boy in the late 1960's I remember the "race riots" as they were called. In the City of South Bend, Indiana, entire neighborhoods to this day, still bear the scars of a young black man from the Blackstone Rangers street gang of Chicago. This young man came to South Bend as an agitator, and led local young people to burn down their own community, much like what happened in the famous Watts riots, and later in the riots during the aftermath of the Rodney King trial in L.A. Black pastors to this day, blame one man for permanently destroying their community... the west side of South Bend, Indiana, known as the "Western Avenue" business district. Those riots destroyed jobs, business', and an entire community. The area transitioned from a diverse, friendly, and vibrant economic area... to a burned out hell hole, where housing projects replaced single family homes, where welfare replaced jobs, and where burned out commercial buildings and store fronts were never replaced. That man's name, who to this day is the scourge of the Black Christian community of South Bend, is Jesse Jackson."SHAKEDOWN: Unmasking Jesse Jackson" Read...wnd.com The politics of poverty, hate, and destruction have never helped anyone other than the the race pimps at the top. They play the race card, preach and teach hate, and create poverty for their own people. Nothing's changed in 40 years.
