In 1963, the government of California decided to allow blacks to prey on Americans and move into our cities and neighborhoods with full state support by passing the infamous Rumford Fair Housing Act.
California was a prosperous and 95% white state in 1940, a legacy of wise migration and labor policies. The federal government undid many of these policies during WWII, valuing abundant labor for the war effort over national solidarity. CA's black population grew 600%.
Compton was the first city to be afflicted, with its black population rising from 0% to 40% in 20 years. Americans reacted in horror as crime skyrocketed, social services declined, and home values plunged.
A number of groups organized to oppose the wave of black terror. In 1964, the Republican Party, the John Birch Society, real estate agents, and church ministers rallied their supporters to support an amendment to the California state constitution.
Proposition 14 amended the state constitution to nullify the Rumford Fair Housing Act. The proposition allowed Americans to enjoy our freedom of association. We fancied ourselves a free people, and desired to live in our own communities, much as we always had.
The traitor Governor Brown wasn't enraged by the crime or Americans fleeing their homes by black terror, but by Americans standing up for themselves.
Proposition 14 passed with overwhelming support, with 2/3rds of the overall vote and 75% of the American vote.
Naturally, the federal government decided to crush the Americans. All housing funds were denied to CA, and the Supreme Courts of California and the United States decided Americans don't have the right to associate together.
A particularly vile class of real estate agent made huge fortunes from these decisions through a technique called "blockbusting"
As black terror spread into American neighborhoods, blockbusters would buy American homes at a greatly decreased prices, then resell the homes to blacks at a higher value before the value had fallen too much. The financial losses for Americans were staggering.
Correctly sensing the American leadership was weak, the blacks rose up. 30,000 blacks poured into the streets during the Watts Riots attacking Americans, looting business, and torching buildings.
While American support for the police efforts to crush the riots was strong, the politicians & media lacked the will to reverse the failures of black integration. In his successful campaign to become CA governor, Ronald Reagan argued against Proposition 14 and segregation.
Reagan and the rightist elites failures to use their vast organizational abilities to promote American interests in California led directly to the situation that this state is in today.
My part of Los Angeles, Inglewood, was 0.00046% black in 1960. We Americans kept the town ours through street patrols and preventing blockbusters from purchasing homes.
Americans were partly successful in keeping Inglewood American for the 1960s. By 1970, Inglewood was still only 11% black, and that 11% was mostly restricted to the eastern end of the city. Then the courts intervened.
On July 22, 1970, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Deutz ordered Inglewood to allow blacks to prey on Americans. Americans fled in huge numbers. 10 years later, only 21% of Inglewood was American. By 1990, we were only 8.6% of Inglewood.
Inspiration was @DukeWillNuke 's thread on Hazelton, PA. America's loss of its greatest city, Los Angeles, was a national disaster only matched by the similar loss of New York and Chicago.

Greenland was not colonized by the Amerindians or their predecessors. It was only discovered in the mid-to-late 3rd millennium BC nemets.substack.com/p/greenland
The Belkachi people migrated across the Bering Strait in the early 3rd millennium BC. They expanded across Alaska and the American Arctic. Their descendants reached Greenland towards the end of the millennium, forming the Independence I and Saqqaq cultures.
The climate shift which led to the Bronze Age Collapse in Eurasia also afflicted the Arctic, reducing the Saqqaq to a refuge in southwestern Greenland by beginning of the first millennium BC. They were overrun by their Dorset relatives from continent in mid-1st millennium BC.
Nicole Parker from FBI's Miami office chalks many of the bureau's problems to its post-9/11 shift under Mueller away from crime fighting & towards intelligence collection. New class of program managers (TDYs) in DC gained power gained authority over regional office bosses (SACs)
the kinds of women who joined the FBI in 2010, immediately before enactment of Obama's 2011-2 DEI policies: Coast Guardette, two financiers, Air Force lawyer, accountant, hotel directoress, two engineers. Two were single mothers.
Authoress claims a minority of FBI agents do most work, a phenomenon reinforced by lack of performance pay. 60 statistics were kept for agents, & their nature drove agents to focus on simple crimes & those which afflicted celebrities. Complex financial cases were neglected.
apparently it was more dangerous to be a polemicist in 1870s Kansas than in the South
persecution of innocent poasters by hack judges & sinister feds is sadly an old American tradition
a hundred years before the founding of the Cannonball Run, Americans had the New Orleans to Saint Louis steamboat race. The race took a similar amount of time.
Thread with excerpts from "The Other Quiet Revolution: National Identities in English Canada, 1945-71" by Jose Igartua
Author argues national identity among English-speaking Canadians died entirely in mid-20th century, and was replaced by a broader civic identity. Nonetheless there is still an English-Canadian nation that can be seen sociologically through shared culture.
90% of Canadians read at least one newspaper in 1969, compared to only 68% watching television news. Spread of opinion polling ended up restricting range of public discussion.
Thread with excerpts from "Lies of the Tutsi in Eastern Congo/Zaire. A Case Study: South Kivu (Pre-Colonial to 2018)" by John Kapapi
At the time of the 1884 Berlin Conference, what is now the eastern Congo was ruled by eight kingdoms. Rwanda had yet to be united. Per the author, Rwandan (Tutsi & Hutu) migration west of Lake Kivu was minimal at the time.
Belgians created two chiefdoms in North Kivu. One was given to Tutsi from Hunde in 1922, & other was bought from the Hunde in 1939. Conflict with Hunde led to Tutsi preferring to flee to South Kivu during the dynastic struggles following overthrow of King Rwabugiri in 1895.
