I’m glad to hear that. But you know that having people from Kenya isn’t the same as having African-Americans in some respects. I do know that there are some African-American Catholics, but the point is segregation in communities. And I’ll also add that after being highly segregated from black and Hispanic people until I was in my 30’s, I did through different problems I had that made me low-wage earning I did get to know many of them. Now I’m in Lexington, Kentucky, and it is far more integrated than Buffalo or anywhere else in the Northeast that I’m familiar with, and I believe if the white people in Buffalo saw pictures of the “black section” of town, they would assume that these were white neighborhoods. Kentucky is one of the most integrated states in terms of schooling, and in Lexington white people are often in the “black section,” and many black people live outside of it, so that you’ll see a mix of races everywhere. But when I looked into Louisville, which is much more Catholic, it is desegregated school-wise due to busing, but it’s said to continue to be heavily segregated by neighborhood.

All over the country blacks move in and white move out. Been that way for 50 years. The reason? The majority of blacks bring with them crime and everything else. No sane person wants their neighborhood destroyed by anyone, makes no difference what color they are. All over the country, neighborhoods that used to be predominately white are now black and are the ghetto, with bars on store windows and businesses that have gone out of business. There is so many empty buildings in Buffalo, that were once thriving neighborhoods, full of people that gave back to the community and were proud of their community, now they are trashy ghettos that cab drivers are scared to drive through and cops dread policing. Thank LBJ and his social welfare giveaway programs for the state of affairs that blacks find themselves in all over the country. And any person with a brain that has a kid in school in towns like Buffalo needs to send their child to a private school if they want them to get an education. Either a private school or they go to a public school and have to walk through medal detectors and say good morning to the deputy sheriff that’s permanently assigned to the district. And if the kid makes it to class they’ll have a hard time finding a quality teacher. Most teachers have been ran out of public schools in fear of their life. Most don’t want to be shot or stabbed.

We’ve got home grown blacks too.
