Racism did play a role, primarily in the location of the interstates and red-lining, but your post is nothing but one big troll.

1) Of course I'm a troll to people who hate to hear and be reminded of their own racism. I was raised by a white mom who was the first in our family to have a black best friend (the housemaid's daughter) and she was awaken to the horrific racism blacks experienced in BR first hand through her. She made sure I didn't follow the racists and flawed mentality of my grandparents and most people in our family and it worked.

No one wants to live in a violent crime infested area where they're not welcome. Just look back to that case of that poor white couple who were nearly beaten to death at a gas station by the airport because they were in the wrong neighborhood after dark. Those who can escape a place like that will.

2) Are you freaking kidding me?? Not every neighborhood in NBR is violent and crime infested. There are plenty of pleasant neighborhoods in NBR that have very few to zero white people simply due to the fact it became too overwhelmingly black (Forest Heights Parks, Southern Heights, Sharon Hills, Greenwood Estates, etc). And do you know how many white people (including myself) that have been by the gas station near the airport and nothing ever happened??? You taking one isolated issue and making it seem like all whites are targeted 24/7 which is racist propaganda. You sound extremely ignorant and like your first name is Bubba.

This is just rediculous. Olive skin is Mediterranean, i.e. Jew that works outside with a damn Jew Fro. Jesus was a Jew in Israel, not black. Queen of Sheba was definitely a sista and King Soloman had that Jungle Fever.

I never said Jesus was black. I said He was a man of color with olive skin and wool hair (non-straight) which means He resembled more of a black person than a white person with pale skin and straight hair. So Jesus would've been discriminated against by white america had He been here in this country which makes me want to vomit ... the most important man to ever walk the Earth treated like trash simply based on His aesthetic. And most biblical experts say he was the darker spectrum of the olive skin with coarse hair but I'm sure you're still gonna picture him being pale skinned with long straight hair and be my guest ... apparently you already live in a fantasy world not based in facts.
