I've known people who have lived in Pittsburgh. I've never heard that rendition of the city.
Have any quotes from police officers proudly proclaiming to the media "Hey! I killed a Negro today!!"
The whites did not live with the blacks in Pittsburgh. Again, there was over 1700 complaints on file against police brutality, not one single reprimand handed out. Wrap your head around that. I lived there, the jargon was what I heard daily from whites, it was open racism that I was expected to agree with; know what, that existed in Cleveland also, before I lived in Pittsburgh. And it existed in Detroit area when I grew up there. It doesn't exist here, in the Chicago area.
My parents were rather progressive in their attitudes toward blacks, my father never bothered to move his company's branch location from Wyoming street in Detroit, even after the riots, when everyone else moved out of Detroit. At that time, gangs of black kids were roaming the freeways and killing white people, driving the "white flight" from the city. Every city has its own history, you should visit downtown Detroit - just walk around and open your eyes, you'll be amazed.
We have a serious cultural challenge in this nation. That's why there's a black history
month, to rid the culture of the slave mentality that haunts it. America was a slave nation for so many centuries, it doesn't disappear just because you change some laws.
While i was living in Pittsburgh the first cousin of our all pro defensive end on the Pittsburgh Steelers was driving his nice car in the southern hills (white suburbs). Blacks are not allowed there. period. White police spotted him and pulled him over - no traffic violation - just pulled him over, pulled him out of the car, and killed him on the spot. The man died from suffocation from the officers boot applying continuous pressure on his neck. Even the white community was outraged, so they had to bring in a jury from Philadelphia for trial, but the officers all got off scott free and no one was reprimanded, not even a single day's work was lost.
I worked a job in those hills. My boss' older brother was a Lutheran priest... so he liked me, being a zealous born-again Christian. A day came when my stepson was visiting from Washington DC, and I happened to be buying a company van for my brother in Ann Arbor, MI. My boss saw the brown skin on my stepson and fired me... racism comes first, that's all there is to it. They explain the reason you are fired... "how come your stepson has brown skin?" "because his dad comes from Pakistan" "you're fired"... and if you think I give a damn about your politics, or have ever made a Lie up just to post it against your politics... pfffft. I couldn't care less about politics. But I have lived 55 years, 90% of it in the Great Lakes area, and I have never seen this utopia of fair police you talk about. In Detroit, Coleman Brown fired the white police force and replaced it with a black police force... it wasn't fair to the white cops, but it had to be done.
open your little eyes.
