It was strange in that the long term 2nd/3rd generation of established black people were never seen as a threat - they were predominantly mixed race and initially lived around Liverpool 1 and the lower part of Upper Parliament St. These knew the rules, and what you do and what you don't do, where you go and where you don't go. The raw black Caribbean and African immigrants would do things the established black community would not and react far too easily, not knowing the grounds rules of how to survive.
I can see exactly the same thing happening today in the worst parts of Anfield ( it must be going on in other districts too) ie; parts of Anfield which have deteriorated into almost no go areas due to the ant-socials taking over.
There are foreign people being moved into the district, moving into the houses from which people have left to escape from the anti-social elements. The foreign people , knowing no better about the bad areas, are like lambs to slaughter.
They blindly walk into the trap and are subsequently hounded by the local neanderthals. I see it all the time.
I personally know of 2 Foreign families living very close to me who have been verbally and physically attacked, their houses targetted. One family live in the back part of their house because it is too dangerous to live in the front rooms. Their windows have even been shot at.
Disgusting.
No one should have to live like that in this day and age.
As I walk around the district I frequently see foreigners being shown around houses by offcials, obviously with a view to moving them in. I think to myself, 'poor suckers don't know what they are letting them selves in for'
this is how our district evolved:
First it was a desirable area where it was a nice place to bring up familes. Some of the larger houses belonging to more proffessional, affluent people.
The smaller terraces had nice families too.
Next, the area became 'flat land' - the bigger houses rented out into flats after the more affluent had moved on. This was the start of the general neglect of the properties.
Then came the anti-socials and problem families evicted from where ever they came. They trashed the houses and sullied the area and moved on to trash somewhere else.
Now come the guillable immigrants who don't know the past problems and move in, only to discover hostility and torment.
It's a shame. The housing associations, or the powers that be have a lot to answer to.
