<p>Maybe, we should give it a shot.</p>
<p>After all, despite the altruistic (and phony) overtures liberal make regarding illegals, like &#8220;sanctuary cities&#8221; and states, their true colors are often shown for all the world to see when the uninvited show up on their doorsteps. (see Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, New York City, Chicago, etc.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Biden-Signs-Order.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-25706 size-medium" title="Biden signs EO ending border wall construction" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Biden-Signs-Order-150x97.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="97" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Biden-Signs-Order-150x97.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Biden-Signs-Order-800x516.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Biden-Signs-Order-768x496.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Biden-Signs-Order.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>No one specifically voted to allow our border to be opened to the world. No legislation was sincerely offered or passed by the Congress and/or Senate. It was a unilateral executive order Joe Biden signed two weeks into his presidency at the behest of activists and probably the First Lady in charge (you know, &#8220;happy wife&#8230;&#8221;). For the most part, Americans didn&#8217;t want more illegal aliens then and sure a hell don&#8217;t want them here now, but a Democrat has created another problem a Republican has to clean up.</p>
<p>For starters, the 14th Amendment needs to be repealed because we definitely don&#8217;t need millions of new anchor babies. Democrats accused Republicans of fear-mongering and pushing misinformation regarding the &#8220;Great Replacement Theory&#8221; where &#8220;imported&#8221; illegals would be eventually made citizens where they would be expected to vote Democrat and permanently change the electorate, thus country. Well, like most so-called conspiracy theories, this one is turning out to be true.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-US-border.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-25705 size-medium" title="Illegals waiting at U.S.-Mexico border" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-US-border-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-US-border-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-US-border-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-US-border-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-US-border-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-US-border-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-US-border.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>The 14th Amendment was initially introduced and passed by Republicans to redress slavery and make the offspring of slaves citizens to make it easier for them to assimilate into American society. Those offspring have been dead and gone for decade and the United States is one of the few (if not only) countries where a child of foreign nationals is granted citizenship in the country where he or she was born. The &#8220;anchor baby&#8221; magnet has long needed to be taken off the table. No time like the present.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-Chicago-PD.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-25700 size-medium" title="Illegal aliens in Chicago Police station" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-Chicago-PD-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-Chicago-PD-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-Chicago-PD-768x431.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Illegals-Chicago-PD.jpg 780w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>And as far as &#8220;rounding them all up&#8221; because of the sheer numbers we&#8217;re now talking about, it&#8217;s not like illegal aliens will be hard to find. As of this writing, illegals are sleeping in the streets of many major metropolitan cities. The suburbs will be next. The pushback in urban communities is picking up. The latest crop of illegal aliens are not hard to find at all.</p>
<p>The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 makes in a civil violation to enter the country illegally, so the convenient use of &#8220;refugee&#8221; status should be suspended until this invasion is stopped and reversed. ICE and the Border Patrol should be empowered to immediately deport any illegal caught and given recent experience, the faux outrage and calls for compassion will be minimal.</p>

Screw them. None of them will sponsor an illegal of unvetted origin, so their bombast will also be easy to ignore.</p>
<p>But the United States is truly at a turning point. The Republican Party should be put on notice.</p>
<p>Biden opened the border to assure future elections will be more decisive for the Democrat Party. How better to achieve this than create millions of new loyal Democrats who will obliterate any possibility of a close election. The only thing Republicans need do is remove as many millions of the uninvited as possible.</p>

<p>The last place you&#8217;d want to go is in front of sports fans, especially hockey fans and with good reason&#8230;.</p>

Record companies have more products today using the &#8220;n-word&#8221; than is used in most black households.</p>
<p>We even have liberals criticizing and instructing black people as to its correct pronunciation.</p>

<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-08-20/larry-elder-draws-fire-for-n-word-comedy-clip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Wick, Erika D. Smith, LA Times, 8/20/21</a></p>
<p>I must keep that in mind while they now intellectually refer to targeted black Republicans as white.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/aug/20/los-angeles-times-column-larry-elder-black-face-wh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republican recall frontrunner Larry Elder called ‘Black face of white supremacy’</a></strong></p>
<p>These same liberals have a very thin skin when you call them out on their racism. For example, we all know about the issue of race when it comes to the pending treatment of unvaccinated blacks in New York City and how Mayor Bill de Blasio&#8217;s mandates will disproportionately affect them. In response, I issued the following Tweet.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Vax-Tweet.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-17585" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Vax-Tweet-800x293.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="275" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Vax-Tweet-800x293.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Vax-Tweet-150x55.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Vax-Tweet-768x281.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Vax-Tweet.jpg 882w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a><br />
This Tweet was reported resulting in a 1-hour timeout, I appealed, won; was reported a second time resulting in a 24-hour banishment to the naughty corner, I appealed and won again. But seeing how Democrats have traditionally had no patience for runaway slaves, I was again reported and permanently banned from the platform and I&#8217;m okay with that.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always found it quite hypocritical that on one hand we can be all indignant over the banning of the President of the United States from social media, slam the #BigTech oligarchs, yet most will still have their tabs open on our computers as long as it&#8217;s powered up. We&#8217;d boycott a partisan restaurant with the understanding that reduced traffic is bad for business, but we gotta keep posting on Facebook and Twitter. Why? Considering how liberals eventually destroy everything they touch, you really think social media sites would survive being an exclusive &#8220;progressive&#8221; echo chamber?</p>
<p>I have part of my days back and am at peace.</p>
<p>While the left has no problem with the n-word as long as they use it, the hashtag <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">#BlueKluxKlan </span></strong><em>(aimed at them instead of <a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Blue%20Klux%20Klan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the police</a>)</em> appears to be nothing short of a cross to a vampire or Raid® to cockroaches. Liberals hate being called out on their racism and will either punish the offender and/or ignore it altogether. Back in 2010, during a phone conversation, Andrew Breitbart asked me to document the <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2010/08/15/resolution-against-youtube-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">colorful retorts I received</a> on YouTube; responses I dutifully reported and all of the offenders are still on the platform to this day.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Larry-Elder.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17589 size-medium" title="Larry Elder" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Larry-Elder-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Larry-Elder-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Larry-Elder-800x536.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Larry-Elder-768x514.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Larry-Elder-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Larry-Elder-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Larry-Elder.jpg 827w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>I listened to Larry Elder&#8217;s radio show while living in Los Angeles in the 90&#8217;s. He was racially attacked then just as he is now during his run for California governor. The racial attacks from enlightened liberal Democrats will grow in number and intensity because it&#8217;s what they&#8217;ve always done best.</p>
<p>And they&#8217;ll even let you know the best way to do it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s bad enough thousands of vulnerable senior citizens were allowed to die in seclusion from family members because of a decision by an elected official devoid of common sense&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Cuomo-042320.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-13143" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Cuomo-042320-150x83.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="83" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Cuomo-042320-150x83.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Cuomo-042320-500x277.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Cuomo-042320.jpg 611w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>New York’s nursing homes weren’t allowed to challenge a controversial order to admit patients with the coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday — even though it’s been blamed for spreading the deadly disease among residents. </span><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“They don’t have a right to object. That is the rule and that is the regulation and they have to comply with that,”</strong> Cuomo said during his daily briefing in Albany.</span><br />

<p>New York Governor Andrew Cuomo&#8217;s &#8220;rule&#8221; had deadly consequences.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Gov-Cuomo.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-13144 size-medium" title="New York Gov.

<p>Governor Andrew Cuomo is now forcing businesses to deny service in New York City to anyone not wearing a mask. Did he think including Brooklyn residents Chris Rock and Rosie Perez in his daily presser would take the sting out his new mandate?</p>
<p>On <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/amid-ongoing-covid-19-pandemic-governor-cuomo-issues-executive-order-authorizing-businesses" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the governor&#8217;s website</a>, the YouTube video of the press conference is embedded. However, the media Q&amp;A which immediately followed was <a href="https://youtu.be/Ay_R2fgQd8Y?t=2010" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">abruptly edited out</a> to prevent public viewing and for good reason.</p>
<p>We present the end of the omitted Q&amp;A segment&#8230;.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UPR6HA_18BM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Did he really think laughing about another possible Coronavirus death was apropos? Meanwhile, his paraphrasing of the comments of a student on spring break was a tad embellished.</p>
<p>Obviously, someone in the governor&#8217;s office realized that few would laugh with Cuomo&#8217;s reaction to Chris Rock&#8217;s brand of morbid humor. Could be one reason why so many didn&#8217;t want New Yorkers fleeing COVID-19 into their states.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">FACT CHECK</span></h2>
<p>There is no indication that spring break partygoer Brady Sluder has died. He <em>was</em> shamed into <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/24/us/coronavirus-brady-sluder-spring-break.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">issuing a public apology</a>.</p>

Small businesses are teetering on permanent closures while the newly-unemployed have either received or are waiting for that one-time $1,200 stimulus check from the federal government. Governors and mayors are telling their constituents that it may take months for some of their states and cities to fully reopen, meaning millions of Americans may be months away from receiving a weekly paycheck.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not hard to imagine how those in federal and state federal government can be so casual when it comes to their evolving time schedules as to when the nation will be fully open for business because it&#8217;s as simple as follow the money. They&#8217;re getting theirs thus there&#8217;s <span style="text-decoration: underline;">no sense of urgency</span>, the &#8220;process&#8221; of politics can run it&#8217;s course because certain taxpayer-funded paychecks have been assured to come in uninterrupted.</p>

<p>Remember this when the political class drags this process out to collect more COVID-19 &#8220;data&#8221;, fat-and-comfortable government employees go on social media and tell those who fund their incoming paychecks to shut up and stay home, humble yourself and visit a food bank, decline to pay your rent and bills, never leave home <em>(and if you must risk killing us all, not without a mask)</em>, and succumb to your movements being tracked and stored.</p>
<p>It must be nice.</p>

These are the same black people who remind Democrats every two years not to take their votes for granted. Blacks have been issuing those timely reminders for decades while remaining loyal Democrat voters.</p>
<p>The result has been consistent neglect and the latest pandemic scourge has been no different.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">Black Chicagoans account for half of all coronavirus cases in the city and more than 70% of deaths, despite making up 30% of the population. Other cities with large black populations, including Detroit, Milwaukee, New Orleans and New York, have become coronavirus hotspots.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52194018" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BBC, 4/7/20</a></p>
<p>Had those in charge of those metropolitan areas been Republican, they would be household names Democrats and their media would keep immersed in the public conversation. But as we&#8217;re talking about blacks in Democrat-controlled areas, some review is in order.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #004773;"><strong>Governor J. B. Pritzker </strong>(D)</span><br />
<span style="color: #004773;"><strong>Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot </strong>(D)</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">As of 5 April, 1,824 out of Chicago&#8217;s 4,680 confirmed Covid-19 cases were black residents, said city officials on Monday. That compared with 847 white, 478 Hispanic and 126 Asian Chicagoans. Chicago has seen a total of 98 deaths as of Sunday, with 72% of them black residents.</span></p>
<p>While lamenting the fate of the black community, some politicians acted like the Coronavirus wouldn&#8217;t never stick to them.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-parks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bob Parks</a></em></p>
<p>I grew up in the section of Boston called The South End which was sandwiched between the more affluent Back Bay and the impoverished neighborhood of Roxbury, considered &#8220;<a href="https://www.boston.gov/neighborhood/roxbury" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the heart of Black culture in Boston</a>&#8220;. When I later got my own apartment on Tremont Street, I <em>(as a courtesy)</em> escorted all of my white friends in; not because they&#8217;d really be all that endangered but to make them feel comfortable.</p>
<p>That was in the 70s.</p>
<p>Now, when we go visit that same area, I am met with glares of suspicion from tolerant, inclusive white liberals of all ages. It&#8217;s like they want to know if I have a reason to be in this area that <em>was</em> technically the Hood and now a very expensive enclave of condos and high-priced luxury apartments?</p>
<p>So when I see what recently happened in a gentrified section of New York City, I understand&#8230;.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vj7yry/?pub=6btuj" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
This young, privileged millennial-sounding woman riding a bicycle acts she owns the neighborhood street.</p>
<p>She pays no excise taxes, regularly-scheduled inspection fees, insurance, fuel, routine maintenance or any other massive expense those who drive automobiles do, yet she believes she can stop traffic and talk down to those who may have previously lived there and no longer can afford to.</p>
<p>In 2014, Spike Lee relayed the sentiment by gentrification-affected blacks pushed out by the yuppie class.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Spike-Lee.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1466" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Spike-Lee-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Spike-Lee-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Spike-Lee-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Spike-Lee-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Spike-Lee.jpg 330w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Here’s the thing: I grew up here in Fort Greene. I grew up here in New York. It’s changed. And why does it take an influx of white New Yorkers in the south Bronx, in Harlem, in Bed Stuy, in Crown Heights for the facilities to get better? The garbage wasn’t picked up every motherfuckin’ day when I was living in 165 Washington Park. P.S. 20 was not good. P.S. 11. Rothschild 294. The police weren’t around. When you see white mothers pushing their babies in strollers, three o’clock in the morning on 125th Street, that must tell you something.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><em><span style="color: #808080;">[Audience member: And I don’t dispute that … ]</span></em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And even more. Let me kill you some more.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><em><span style="color: #808080;">[Audience member: Can I talk about something?]</span></em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Not yet.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Then comes the motherfuckin’ Christopher Columbus Syndrome. You can’t discover this! We been here. You just can’t come and bogart. There were brothers playing motherfuckin’ African drums in Mount Morris Park for 40 years and now they can’t do it anymore because the new inhabitants said the drums are loud. My father’s a great jazz musician. He bought a house in nineteen-motherfuckin’-sixty-eight, and the motherfuckin’ people moved in last year and called the cops on my father. He’s not — he doesn’t even play electric bass! It’s acoustic! We bought the motherfuckin’ house in nineteen-sixty-motherfuckin’-eight and now you call the cops? In 2013? Get the fuck outta here!</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Nah. You can’t do that. You can’t just come in the neighborhood and start bogarting and say, like you’re motherfuckin’ Columbus and kill off the Native Americans. Or what they do in Brazil, what they did to the indigenous people. You have to come with respect. There’s a code. There’s people.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">You can’t just — here’s another thing: When Michael Jackson died they wanted to have a party for him in motherfuckin’ Fort Greene Park and all of a sudden the white people in Fort Greene said, “Wait a minute! We can’t have black people having a party for Michael Jackson to celebrate his life. Who’s coming to the neighborhood? They’re gonna leave lots of garbage.” Garbage? Have you seen Fort Greene Park in the morning? It’s like the motherfuckin’ Westminster Dog Show. There’s 20,000 dogs running around. Whoa. So we had to move it to Prospect Park!</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">I mean, they just move in the neighborhood. You just can’t come in the neighborhood. I’m for democracy and letting everybody live but you gotta have some respect. You can’t just come in when people have a culture that’s been laid down for generations and you come in and now shit gotta change because you’re here? Get the fuck outta here. Can’t do that!</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">And then! [to audience member] Whoa whoa whoa. And then! So you’re talking about the people’s property change? But what about the people who are renting? They can’t afford it anymore! You can’t afford it. People want live in Fort Greene. People wanna live in Clinton Hill. The Lower East Side, they move to Williamsburg, they can’t even afford fuckin’, motherfuckin’ Williamsburg now because of motherfuckin’ hipsters. What do they call Bushwick now? What’s the word? [Audience: East Williamsburg]</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">That’s another thing: Motherfuckin’… These real estate motherfuckers are changing names! Stuyvesant Heights? 110th to 125th, there’s another name for Harlem. What is it? What? What is it? No, no, not Morningside Heights. There’s a new one. [Audience: SpaHa] What the fuck is that? How you changin’ names?</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">And we had the crystal ball, motherfuckin’ Do the Right Thing with John Savage’s character, when he rolled his bike over Buggin’ Out’s sneaker. I wrote that script in 1988. He was the first one. How you walking around Brooklyn with a Larry Bird jersey on? You can’t do that. Not in Bed Stuy.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">So, look, you might say, “Well, there’s more police protection. The public schools are better.” Why are the public schools better? First of all, everybody can’t afford — even if you have money it’s still hard to get your kids into private school. Everybody wants to go to Saint Ann’s — you can’t get into Saint Ann’s. You can’t get into Friends. What’s the other one? In Brooklyn Heights. Packer. If you can’t get your child into there … It’s crazy. There’s a business now where people — you pay — people don’t even have kids yet and they’re taking this course about how to get your kid into private school. I’m not lying! If you can’t get your kid into private school and you’re white here, what’s the next best thing? All right, now we’re gonna go to public schools.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">So, why did it take this great influx of white people to get the schools better? Why’s there more police protection in Bed Stuy and Harlem now? Why’s the garbage getting picked up more regularly? We been here!</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">All right, go ahead. Let’s see you come back to that.</span></p>
