Glendale confronts its racist past, apologizing for ‘sundown’ laws as reported in the Los Angeles Times on October 15.
Glendale now in essence saying ‘Oops, we are sorry we had those laws but you know we were frightened by the color of your skin and we feared there would be intermarriage. Oh, by the way we still believe in the superiority of White Christians over all other people. That includes Jews, Mexicans and any other group that that doesn’t look like us don’t and speak our language. We finally accepted Armenians when we noticed they do look rather White and they are Christians.’
Precinct Reporter Group, an African American news organization listed these cities as “sundown” cities.
California cities classified as “surely” sundown towns include Chico, Culver City, El Segundo, Fresno, Glendale, Hawthorne, La Jolla, Palmdale, San Marino and Taft. Cities that are now majority Black and Brown, including Compton and Inglewood in Southern California, previously barred Black residents. The list also includes some entire counties as surely sundown in the past.
Congressman Adam Schiff represents all of Glendale and surrounding areas. I wonder how many residents know he is Jewish. A delicious revenge.
