"No blacks had ever lived in Inglewood," Gladys Waddingham wrote,[10]:59 but by 1960, "they lived in great numbers along its eastern borders. This came to the great displeasure of the predominantly white residents already residing in Inglewood. In 1960, the census counted only 29 'Negroes' among Inglewood's 63,390 residents. Not a single black child attended the city's schools. Real estate agents refused to show homes to blacks. A rumored curfew kept blacks off the streets at night. Inglewood was a prime target because of its [previous] history of restrictions." "Fair housing and school busing were the main problems of 1964. The schools were not prepared to handle racial incidents, even though any that occurred were very minor. Adults held many heated community meetings, since the Blacks objected to busing as much as did the Whites."

wow your city used to be an ethnostate

Edward Vincent became Inglewood's first black mayor in 1983. In that decade, whites left the city in increasing numbers, and Inglewood became the first city in California to declare the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. as a holiday.

😰

Oh my gosh, I asked my apolitical sibling a bunch of questions to gauge her politics.

SHE'S BASED

Putin just blew by a line of world leaders to shake hands with Trump and Melania

Merkel and Macron btfo

You went that long without knowing your sibling's politics? @Selma

I'm an only child, so I have no idea what sibling relationships are like

No, my sibling is super annoying and doesn't care about politics like me.

But very smart.

What percentage of America can be white? What percentage is acceptable to you?" I asked her tht

and she said 95 percent

Wooooo

I saw an anti-abortion advertisment where it showed a little girl all happy with a baby sibling, and then in another frame it showed her all sad alone. It was really interesting, I had never seen abortion argued against from the standpoint that it can cause someone to be an only child.
