I'm an X. Most of my childhood, my neighborhood wasn't a niggerhive. It was about 10 blocks square of nearly all white working class families. The houses were all sorts of different shapes and yard sizes. They were almost all built individually in the 20's, or by men returning from the war. There was a feed store at the end of the block; a giant barn of a building more than 100 years old. Smelled of hay and dust. Inside there were hutches with baby chicks and another with baby ducks. The guy who ran it would let us kids pet them. There was a convenience store next to it where we could go and buy snacks with our allowance, then an arcade next to that where we could blow the rest of the money. I had extended family scattered around the neighborhood, as well as all sorts of friends from the local grammar school. There never seemed to be any shootings or other crime like what you have now. No junkies, no homeless, no cop cars visiting this or that house on a domestic call. We stayed off the busier boulevards that defined the border of our neighborhood, but otherwise we could ride our bikes everywhere. Friends and relatives of our mom lived all about, so there was a network that let her know if you were getting into trouble. That's what you can enjoy with a high trust, homogeneous society. Family, friends, community, standards, relative safety, freedom. It's what diversity robs from you. And because you've never had it, you don't know what was lost. It wasn't neglect, it was peace, it was normalcy. If I could put what I've known and felt into the minds of younger people today, their rage would be infinite.
