And did you see any ghettos that you see today?
No ghettos, no violence, no crime.
Oh, look at those pictures.
None of those things when I was growing up.
It was unheard of for black people to kill one another or to fight one another.
I grew up and I only had one fight in high school and that was over a baseball bat.
I thought we both were fighting over, we were on the baseball field.
This guy thought it was his time and I thought it was mine and we were fighting over that.

No crime.
Nobody around me,
committed crime that I'm aware of at all.
It was unheard of.

Yeah.
