I was 10 years old in 1965 and my whole world was Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It was in that year that my world started changing as many, many friends and neighbors started moving away. My own family moved away in 1969. I didn't understand what was happening at the time or more importantly, why it was happening.Quote:

Fast forward to 1988. Hong Kong was soon to be repatriated with mainland China and many Chinese of means thought it would be a good idea to migrate to America to protect their wealth. At that time there were already 2 Chinatowns in NYC, the famous one in Manhattan and a second in Queens. They shared one very vital link, both were along the N line of the NYC subway system. Ah but growth of those communities was limited so they looked along the N line and saw that it had a stop at 8th Ave. in Brooklyn. 8 being considered a lucky number in the Chinese culture this neighborhood became their target of opportunity.
It started slowly as the wealthy Chinese immigrants over paid for properties and businesses in the area. They even were willing to pay tenants of apartment buildings large sums of money to move out. Of course their new tenants became poor Chinese immigrants (mostly Illegal) who heard word of opportunity in America. Once again it started as diversity but ended in total displacement.
An interesting fact though is that a great deal of the displacement happened to the Puerto Rican community that had formed in the late 60's. This caused a period of racial tensions between the 2 groups for a number of years (most noticeably from 95-2002) but anyone who didn't know the area had no way to learn this. Not only the MSM of NYC but also the small local news papers of the neighborhood failed to report anything about it.
To listen to the politicians of NYC one could only conclude that this is the way it has always been and always will be. In my old age I have learned to read between the lines though and now realize that race and ethnicity were never the real factors in this process of displacement. It is actually the economic circumstances. Once a large portion of any recent migratory group reaches middle class through years of service/work they had better start looking over their shoulders because the next wave of poor, usually from a different background, will be encouraged to displace them.
And all that immigration was illegal without the consent of the states affected by it. What a shame.Quote:

Now, that's "Change" I can believe in.
:wink:
It's not going to happen again! If we would have had the internet back then they would not have gotten away with amnesty.
What we should be doing NOW! How dare these traitors do this! I am so mad/furious with these overcompensated crooks.Quote:
