My hometown built the Space Shuttles, and many secret planes and satellites, and so much history was made in the Antelope Valley, the Sound Barrier was broken by Chuck Yeager in the Antelope Valley, etc. There was so much in my youth to spark my imagination, plus we were close to Hollywood, and Disneyland, etc.
Our youth should be the doctors, and scientists, and teachers, and leaders of the future.
But, instead we had a fucking asshole mayor of Lancaster for a while, Henry Hearns, and he was a preacher at a Black church in Los Angeles, and he brought all of the poor Black people to the Antelope Valley from Compton, and from Watts, and from South Central Los Angeles, etc. So, now the Antelope Valley has gangs, and drugs, and crime, and they call it a ghetto now, it is sad. We built the Space Shuttles before Henry Hearns started bringing all of the scumbags from Los Angeles to the Antelope Valley.
We should have been building schools, and raising scientists and leaders.
There is nothing cool about gangs, drugs, and prison, which is what they tried to turn my hometown into. But, Space Shuttles are great, and secret planes, and satellites, and science is fun. They could build a medical school and they can search for a cure for Cancer, etc, that would be great. Science, technology, etc, is great. We do NOT need the gangs and drugs and crime and prisons.
Enough is enough, we need to stop turning the desert into a ghetto, and we need to build schools and raise scientists and leaders instead.
I am not racist against the Black people, but they need to realize that education is the way to improve their lives and not drugs and gangs and crime.
Inglewood has new stadiums, etc, and lots of new stuff has been built in Inglewood and in Compton, so the Black areas are going to become more affluent. Gentrification is happening, but at the same time people have more honest opportunities.
Drugs, crime, prison, gangs, etc, it is all BULLSHIT. We need to train scientists and doctors, etc, instead.
Salute,
Tony V.
