I wonder how old she is now?

The homes around Carter are pretty nice. My cousin lives in that area.

Its actually nice over there, its when you go down the street to Wheatland and Polk where things look bad the Carter area they talking about is those nice brick homes around the high school not Polk

Yeah, the vast majority of Oak Cliff was white then. Ever heard of white flight?

@@214dude2 yup lol

It was only 3 areas in oak cliff that were mostly black back then and they were all on the other side of 35

Crazy

Racist

What??? Omg..don't you understand that the same race of people that took flight was the same race of people that started the problem in the 1st place with racist methods like blockbusting, redlining, and segregation..smh..the so called "ghetto" was created on purpose..im also a black American but understand the unfairness that was done to create the current outcome. No matter race or color where ever there's poverty most of the time theres going to be crime..

You are most definitely not black. Sounds like you have no issue with blockbusting why are you here?

I had an eye opening experience in another Texas city. I was always told (as a young white kid) to stay out of a certain neighborhood. My academic decathlon team shared a bus with the academic decathlon team from that area high school on long road trips. I was astonished at how cool, nice, classy, kind, and smart(they won every medal in their division) they were. The school was practically all black. I noticed that race wasn’t even thought about compared to other city schools with very mixed demographics. It was just chill and we all got to celebrate some success together.

That wasn’t very prudent at all 🤦🏿‍♂️🤫

Actually no. They redlined the area making it impossible to invest within the area. Any area that goes without investment declines. This was a pattern all over America and the federal government admitted happened to black areas. They helped to assist in it. People always blame people but never the people who made it this way.

@@214dude2 nobody wants to invest there because of the high crime.

@@ConwayTruckload completely untrue. Parts of Oak Cliff generate more sales tax revenue than the majority of the suburban cities in Dallas County. If you believe that, then what started it? People love to say the problem, but never the reasons it became that way.

Lol unfortunately it's always you guys disrupting people's lives. It's been proven that you people don't want black people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Every time they did you people burned everything they worked hard to get to the ground or passed laws making it impossible to acquire anything.
