Manhattan Beach, giving it back...

[ElOgro]

I am, like you, a type of engineer. And an artist. I'm not a midnight toker. I'm seldom awake at midnight.

Holy non responsive batgirl! Post up some of your art, we’re not about judging here.

What hour do you prefer to toke? Maybe wait until your board is loaded up next time for the post session burn. Pro tip.

I haven’t seen midnight since the velorio for my comadre a year ago last November.

Good for you though, get up early, check the surf.

The US made an offer that Mexico couldn’t refuse. Sell me California or I’ll buy it from the puppet we put it office after the coup. Yet another example of whitey taking advantage of inferior brown peoples.

Mexico got lucky Polk only took that part of the country. The US Army took Mexico City

Mexico lost. People need to get over it.

This is a case where title to specific physical property was improperly seized. If proof of such taking can be made in court I have no problem with the government being made to make matters right.

Secondly, 30 lots were acquired by the city through eminent domain on the pretense of building a park. Twenty five of those lots were owned by white families.

Of the five black families who were forced to sell their property, four of them purchased another parcel in Manhattan Beach. They were not “driven out of town,” as some have stated. The Bruce family was the only Black family to leave the city as a result of the eminent domain.

So you're saying there's another side to the story. Interesting.

Wow, beach resort, huh? Integration of public swimming pools chased so many white folk away. Manhattan Beach just couldn't let that happen to their beach.

I'd be living in a Mexican border town now if not for that war (well, maybe not), the only war of conquest in U.S. history.
