L.A. is perhaps the most geographically segerated city in the US, if not the world.

The city planners knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they errected the freeway systems and said (under their breath) put all the niggers and spics on the OUTSIDE boundaries of the freeways.

I was just listening to an interview of David LaChappelle about his film RISE, and his trip down to the oppresive neighborhood that is ignored by the entire establishment and community.

It's like 45 minutes from central Hollywood, but it's another world.

You can't even really get a healthy meal in South Central, 'cause only liquor stores and 7-11s and shitbag fast food joints litter the landscape which is fucked up...

All these people who are going to Southeast Asia or Africa to see "another part of the world" go check out South Central L.A.

And what's crazy is, South Central is probably where the most life and vibrancy in the entire city. Whereas in Beverly Hills and the Westside is a movie set for a story on childhood alienation...

South Central isn't even the kind of ghetto that is depicted in the media. It's not the burned out buildings of Detroit, Cleveland or New York... all the blue skies trick the fuck out of you.

But what seeps in is the vacant nature of the entire environment. The worst thing is that there IS NOTHING for the Blacks down in South Central, no after school programs, nothing but desolation. I wonder if this another varient of the Mad Max scenario that I see on the rise.

Of course, our chump-in-chief ain't doing shit about shit. I heard that the fool doesn't even read newspapers or watch TV or eventhing that gives a potential unadulterated image.
