ReplyDeleteJust when you think you've read it all,here's a 53 year old black man--who seems like a decent guy--gets home invaded by his son,nephew and two other thugs,robbed,threatened with a knife and then tied up with tape and kidnapped.This all happened in the last month.Somehow he wasn't killed and managed to escape.When you can't trust your own son and nephew,when you have to watch out to make sure that family members don't kill you--it's a sad situation.The blacks are really special.

If you get a chance rent and see the movie The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery. First big role for Steve Mc Queen. Based on a true event, the bank robbery occurring in the 1950's. NO WHERE in the movie do you see the face of one colored person. How times have changed.
ReplyDeleteI lived in St. Louis county (lovely superb, Webster Groves) in the 1970s. A few times ventured into the city's northern neighborhoods. They were horrific! You might have thought you were in the worst 3rd world slum in the hemisphere, wondering how soon you would be attacked.
