Also there was a species with super archaic features living in West Africa as recently as 13,000 years ago from the discovery of a skull. It maybe that levels of hybridization where much higher in West Africa until recent times. You do get some anthropologists arguing that its actually Homo Erectus who they mated with but the lineage diverged around 630,000 years ago, so im not sure about that but its some kind of caveman ape man type stuff...

I’m an African American. My father was college degreed and an educator in Atlanta and surrounding school system. In 1969 when I was 7, we moved into a southwest Atlanta community that was a well known upper middle class white collar/blue collar residents with college education called Cascade Heights. Long story short, me and my sister grew up in that same house, went to a high school that received accolades for high national testing (ACT & SAT) test scoring. The homes in this neighborhood were immaculate with manicured lawns and shrubs. Even the then mayor of Atlanta, the late Maynard Jackson, stayed 2 streets from where I lived. Fast forward to 2024 the areas look nothing like it did when I was growing up there. People toss fast food trash from their car windows, drink cans, water bottles , trash, unkempt lawns, unkept homes all presently exist. It eventually spread through areas everywhere. But the homes are still valued $400k-a million. If I was white and seeing what I see now, I can’t blame them for not wanting to live with blacks. Granted some whites simply don’t want to live next to a black family even if the father was a doctor and the mother was a college professor. So racism does also play a part in the equation. In personally would feel more comfortable living with other blacks but in an CLEAN, well kept and crime free community.

Who wrote this? I can't find an original source WHEN BLACKS MOVE IN If there are 5 per 100 people, everyone applauds how diverse the community is. At 5-10% there is an occasional spike in loudness, but it's usually isolated and brief. People are usually too embarrassed to say anything, and it temporarily abates. At 10-20%, disturbances rise dramatically. People occasionally hear loud hip-hop music from a passing vehicle, yelling, and fighting- usually later & later at night, as an outgoing signal of rising 'diversity' in the community. At 20-30%, the loudness & behavior is so disruptive that well-meaning families begin to stop going to certain public areas. Fights occur to establish dominance, and fights between females occur in parking lots, usually over a male. At 30-40% minor public incidents give way to more serious crimes, and somewhere in the community the first felonies occur, targeting the elderly or defenseless. Reaching 40-60% we see an atmosphere that is so loud, dangerous, & unpredictable that it interferes with peaceful activity. At this stage people's gut sense of "safety" in the community is eroding. Anticipating the unexpected starts to factor into simple decisions like going to the store or getting into one's car. At 60-75% you can expect covert drug use, and concealed guns. Good and decent families are moving away. At this stage loud bass thumping from cars is now an advertisement for illegal drug sales. Now, at 75-85%, walking down the street is a risk. We find hair-trigger, unprovoked violence, usually targeted against those of other races. Calls to 9-1-1 demonstrate slower & slower response times. Local businesses deteriorate, as does the general condition of the neighborhood. The last of the liberal, die-hard families vacate the community they have cherished for decades. At 85-95%, the public institutions in the area (schools, libraries, etc.) slowly wither from lack of use. Consumer places (food stores, day-care centers, etc.) show graffiti & territorial gang signs, and gang membership now outweighs the number of non-gang people. Drug sales & prostitution are open and obvious. A gunshot is heard every week. All businesses which are still in operation (liquor stores, stereo wholesalers, etc.) have bars on the windows. Once a population of 95-100% is reached, there is debris everywhere. A large number of dwellings are ruined or burned-out. At this stage, the economy of the community is nearing total collapse, and good jobs do not exist. Emergency services infrequently patrol for fear of risking officers' lives. The name of the neighborhood is now synonymous with violence & gangs. At this stage the spread of this condition bears characteristics similar to the unchecked spread of a virus, and adjacent communities begin to show signs of following suit. And last but not least; Are you the bear, or the boar? And did the screaming help?

All of them were fully white neighborhoods before. I now live in a white neighborhood, my father now lives in a white neighborhood and my grandmother still lives in her previously white neighborhood that turned black because she says she’s too old to sell her house (she’s in her mid 80’s). But the neighborhood has had some crime since it turned black and many of the houses have fallen into disrepair. My family has been trying to get her to move in with them, but she said she was just going to live in her house until she passes because she’s too old to sell. There has already been a shooting at the house next door to my grandmother’s house and one of the bullets hit my grandmother’s fence and another went into her wall in her spare bedroom, but didn’t make it through the sheetrock and was just barely poking out of the sheetrock, there has also been a drive by shooting on one of the streets in the front of the neighborhood as well as a shooting at the front store in front of the neighborhood. When the neighborhood was white before, there was no crime at all and it was nice, peaceful and well manicured. My family is currently trying to talk her into selling her house and moving in with one of her children (one is my parent). She’s starting to realize that maybe she should because of the shootings and probably will wound up moving. I’m a white person of Spanish (Spain) descent from Louisiana.

Their fathers all had the same union jobs as our fathers did, moms were stay at home mothers who drove big station wagons with wood grain on the sides just like our moms.

The neighbor across the street gives us dirty looks and walks around with his gun on the side of him. We have no visitors and we keep our home very maintained. We are from Seattle and only moved to Florida a year ago. We actually have no friends here because we left all our family and friends to move here. We try to small talk with our neighbors but they just give us the cold shoulder and cut conversation’s short. We never even received any welcome to neighborhood greeting. One neighbor said He didn’t know the old owners sold their home. Yeah right! There was a huge sign in the front yard that you couldn’t miss for 2 months . I guess since we had to walk up to him and introduce ourselves that was his excuse not to have come over to us instead.

She moved in from a nearby housing project with her sister , boyfriend and 3 kids .. the house was already paid for all she had to do was pay property tax yearly but the problem with them was that they could not leave the hood culture behind and brought all of their bad habits with them .. they had parties on weeknights and would not keep their lawns cut and neat.. they had loud people coming in and out of the house at all hours of the night and their friends often Park their cars in front of the house and blasted the music and left liquor bottles and blunt wraps all over the place... When the neighbors would complain about the noise and the trash blowing from her yard into the next they got belligerent.. finally code enforcement had to come out and fine her for having trash in her front and back yard as well as a derelict car parked out front on the street... I was a guard at the school her son went to and he was constantly getting into fights and getting suspended... After 2 and 1/2 years of annoyance they had to move out of the house for failing to pay their property taxes.... Now imagine if people like that flooded a mixed black Hispanic and Indian neighborhood I suspect that there would be some black flight as well...

In the Fifties, Black people did not act as ignorant as they do today. Black neighborhoods were not chaotic and violent like they are now. Why? Because in the Fifties almost all Black children lived with their father and their mother, who were MARRIED. The only kids I knew from single parent families were white. Fast forward to today: Over 70% of Black children are born out of wedlock, and we are approaching our fourth generation of "Single Parent families." Is it any wonder that Black communities are chaotic and violent? This is the "Elephant in the Parlor" that no politician, black or White, dares to talk about.

The truth is that we are ALL tribal in nature. One does not have to be considered racist that desires to live among those who were indoctrinated into the same culture.

Religion, regional accents, hatreds, loves, and even the food we eat are part of the indoctrination that we receive as children. We did not choose these things. They were chosen for us, and we make our decisions, as adults, based on those force-fed beliefs. Integration would be the natural course if we stop forcing our personal indoctrination upon our youth. Unfortunately, fear holds most of you to your unquestioned beliefs so much that you would destroy the very thing (free will) that could potentially release your progeny from such fear.

im sorry but your contradicting your self white people moved out these areas were not left In the manner seen in this video so why are the new occupants destroying their communities but then you saywhite men and women should not be looking down on black men and women because we are just as educated, successful and can make positive business moves as well. a well educated person dosnt destroy a good neighborhood the issue is these people take the bad habits from the worst neighborhood to the best ones then cry when people from that neighborhood leave they wouldnt leave if you wernt causing issues ie robing there stores

I don't know what the fuss is about. When a neighborhood is majority black, it's usually the most peaceful, crime-free, well-kept place! Black people really know how to create a beautiful atmosphere that everyone wants to be a part of. It's awesome!

I am full of prejudices and I enjoy it. It is much safer to be wrong and be happy then to be right and be bothered. I have the right to go where I want and to stay with who I want if I am accepted. If I am not accepted I carry on. It is a matter of liberty and comfort. I like to be sorrounded by people similar to me. Why ? just because I like it. You don't like me for that? I don't care. I don't bother anyone. I just am free to go and I do it. Or do you want to force me as if I should live in a concentration camp? May I be at least free to go where I want?

Why can't the Black Community be independent and successful like they were during the early 1900s and the roaring 20s?. I heard the story of Black Wall Street in Tulsa Oklahoma. In which a group of about 5-6 Rich Man bought a vicinity block and it prosper great, they're own doctors, theater, restaurants,churches etc. They had it well organized, they're own businesses they hire they're own. Yes it got burned down unfairly but they could have rebuild and kept going, well I guess integration affected the Black Community.

[@heathertea2704]

Let me See.🤔 If the Jealous & Horrendously Dangerous beings that destroyed the flourishing communities of Tulsa would have let them be, THEN & Since then, we'd have our Own. Unfortunately, they've Indoctrinated their last 3 generations with the same mindsets of, "As They build and Prosper, continue to create tools of destruction to limit it."✌🏾

That is because black americans are completely disenfranchiesd from the voting process. You had a president who litterally gave land away to white people with the homestead act. Now that they aren’t killing Indians any more there is no more land to give away.
