The forced integration and busing was decided for the DISD by the corrupt Warren Court along with the commie Thurgood Marshall and his loathsome tactic of using baby dolls from leftist Kenneth Clark.

Sam Lee Morris was still alive when police found him. The disabled 61-year-old was laying unconscious in the road at the intersection of Sunnyvale and Cummings Street in Southeast Oak Cliff just before 10 p.m. Saturday night, having apparently been hit by a car.
That's what officers suspected, at least, but the vehicle that had hit him was long gone, and no other witnesses came forward that night. They put Morris in an ambulance bound for Baylor, where he died.
Since then, homicide detectives have pieced together a better picture of what happened. Police say that Roberts was on the sidewalk, just a few dozen steps from his Cummings Street home, when a group of teenagers attacked him. During the struggle, they pushed him into the road, right into the path of a white vehicle of unknown make and model.
A neighbor told Fox 4 that the neighborhood is plagued by teens who roam the streets, harassing residents. "Every night you see teenagers like five or six yelling, music banging," Johnathan Neely said. "Why you not at home? Don't you got school tomorrow? I know school is out but summer jobs? Something to occupy your time but they be in the streets."
Sam's brother, Robert Morris, suspects his brother was returning home from a convenience store on Saturday night and probably looked like an easy mark because of his limp. When they tried to rob him, he said, his brother resisted.
"When that happened I'm sure he was trying to get away from him but he couldn't," Morris told Fox 4.
Detectives are searching for leads. The case is being investigated as a murder.
What self respecting gangsta would ride public transportation?
South, southeast, northwest. It’s all ghetto. Voted for homObama both times. Corrupt city government. John Wiley Price. Need I go on?
Sorry, I have nothing good to say about that rat-infested sewer. Ft Worth has its problems, but Dallas is incurable.
South Oak Cliff.... Who’s surprised????
Fence ‘em off and check back in 10 years...
“The herd needs to be culled.”
Understatement
I believe it was used on the “man caves” for the IRS employees.
Oak Cliff. Yep, I pegged it just reading the headline. I used to live not far from there in Oak Cliff back in the 70s. It was a white middle/upper class area. We had one black student one year. The following year, DISD decided integration was the way to go. That year, half the school was black and you weren’t allowed to so much as go to the restroom during class because someone might pull a knife on you while no one was around. It got so bad that, despite fire codes, they’d lock us in our rooms and pull down metal gates in the hallways. When the bell rang to change classes, they’d unlock the doors, sometimes from the outside, and you’d better get to your next class pronto. That summer is what is known as the white exodus. It went from a nice quiet area to ghetto gangsta over night.
Schwarzes?
Well, at least it wasn’t a hate crime. I’m betting.

See my #28. When I’ve passed through Dallas over the years, I’ve driven through the old neighborhood and I’m always grateful I got out alive. Lock the doors and don’t stop for anything. It’s sad how it looks now. The first pizza I had was at the Shakey’s Pizza place and I remember the first Jack in the Box and KFC there and shortly before we left, Red Lobster was the new hit. At school we could go to PE in the gym or the pool. Of course, I chose the pool. We had a nice house with an electric garage door, built in kitchen mixer, a whole house intercom system and the garbage was picked up in the alley. All the modern conveniences in an upper middle class neighborhood. Our house is still there but it’s all trashed out. Real brilliant there, DISD.

Amish??? lol!
A silenced .22 would clear things up a lot faster and a lot cheaper than more cops on the street or midnight basketball.
A few troublemakers end up with .22 slugs in their butts, with no idea where they came from or who did it, the street will become remarkably peaceful.
Every day, we’d watch WFAA (or was it the PBS station?) for the news on integration and mom and dad would get antsy. The theme music was Tina Turner’s Proud Mary. I still hate that song.
I don’t recall massive sanitation problems in Cape Town during Apartheid. Granted, Cape Town’s demographics have changed considerably since then; and, as we’ve seen in Detroit and other numerous cities, a demographic shift from majority white to majority black is always met with an increase in crime, an increase in violence, deteriorating schools, and deteriorating infastructure. These protestors can complain about government all they want, but people create a city’s environment and no amount of spending can turn a city around if the people cannot maintain the structure put in place as we’re seeing in Cape Town, Detroit, and all cities that have seen a similar demographic shift.
It was only when the meddling federal government upset things in 1965 that forced integration became the policy of the DISD by coercion. They fought this for eight years until the liberals on the Fifth Circuit coerced the DISD to follow the “all deliberate speed” edict handed down by the commie Warren Court requiring forced integration and forced busing of children out of their neighborhood schools.
As for Brown v. Board of Education, it could have overturned the Plessy ruling of 1896 and left it at that. It was no less than Clarence Thomas who expressed a reasonable view of the damage inflicted by the Brown edict:
Given that desegregation has not produced the predicted leaps forward in black educational achievement, there is no reason to think that black students cannot learn as well when surrounded by members of their own race as when they are in an integrated environment. Because of their "distinctive histories and traditions," black schools can function as the center and symbol of black communities, and provide examples of independent black leadership, success, and achievement.
Here’s the intersection:
