Operation Challenge and the Kinloch Riots of 1962

[@carlawest4637]

I was born and raised n Kinloch. I remember Kinloch being a community filled with hardworking 2 parent families. Full of Black owned businesses.

[@rononeal979]

That's what I heard

[@vanessalee2168]

Like the previous comment, I too was born and raised in Kinloch which I am proud to say. I remember good times and closeness of neighborhood. I too remember prospering businesses. I am proud to be born of an all black community.

S.E. Freud said: We did not want to do something for the children but provide the resources to help themselves. They said yes, we will help by giving you the tools but you're going to need a sponsor within your community to show you and support you to achieve your goals in life. This system of community is needed more now than ever like back then. We have all the resources but commitment from the community to come together to help the Black children is not to be seen.

The oh so Great tactic of European manipulation by way of intergration was the nail in the coffin that former property (African Americans) still battle to break free of today! 6-16-23

That fence "the Berlin wall" that seperates Kinloch and Berkley is still there today...

Thomas Sowell has written extensively about all of this. It's ignored though by the black community and the white liberals completely. So society keeps doing things that fix nothing. Poverty is a mindset. It's harder for the poor to ever accept that.

[@sirblack1619]

Thomas Sowell was a sellout and was to busy trying to be liked by the YT community.

[@robertwalker7979]

​@@sirblack1619big sellout who said what he thought white folks wanted to hear

[@TheLifeofKam99]

I think that Thomas Sowell was partly correct by acknowledging internal socioeconomic issues contributing to the condition of impoverished blacks in the US. But he intentionally ignored external issues like redlining, destruction of black businesses by WS groups, and black men being systemically denied employment opportunities.
