the story How Compton Got Its Groove Back was on the homepage of msn.com this afternoon, and they accidentally let some truth slip through the filters. it seems that after 25 years of being the definitive cesspool of black American culture, Compton has recently become less of a cesspool. it still sucks, but it now sucks less hard, if the story is to be believed.
of course, some major changes have taken place, including a vast influx of mexicans (which is another problem to be fair) and lots of white people's dollars (which points out again that whitey has to help out brownie and blackie everywhere they pop up, lest the colorful peoplelive in an opensewer of their own making).
you can click the link to readall of the"feel good" drivel if you wish, but i thought i'd share the important snippet:
did you catch that? coincidence, i think not.

Two decades later, Compton has a new lease on life. The community is still poor, and unemployment is more than twice the national average. But the number of homicides is at a 25-year low, slashed in half from 2005. There are fewer gunshots and more places for kids to go after school ... Along the way, blacks became a minority in Compton ....
did you catch that? coincidence, i think not.
