GOV:The effects of the Civil Rights Bill in Gary, Indiana

   Years ago, after the passing of the Civil Rights Bill, Gary, Indiana
was invaded.  When it was invaded the entire white populace left and 
moved thirty to thirty-five miles away from the town.  The news media 
interpreted this as a "fear complex" from having a bad conscience 
about slaves being brought over from Africa before the Civil War.  Now 
Gary, a 90% black town, is promoting the advantages of casino 
gambling.  The Black Post Tribune News has been publishing a long 
series of articles entitled, "Region Divided." The idea being "there 
are still 10% whites in the town." The headline says, "Ending 
Segregation Is Northwest Indiana's Biggest Challenge of the 1990's." 
The words that appear over and over again in the Tribune are 
"disparity and lending," "stagnant economy," "worrisome problems," 
"blockbusting," "biased and perception," "patterns of investment," and 
"black empowerment." Of this bankrupt, degenerate community about to 
resort to gambling to pay it's bills, the Executive Director, Maxine 
Young, says, "this is a very stable, industrial community and an 
almost virginal recreation community."
   
That is, nobody with money goes there to spend it.
   
It's their "fear complex" from 1860.
