"I'm a bit confused. I grew up on the south side [Milwaukee, Wisconsin] in the 50's and 60's and our parents NEVER had to organize rallies and marches to voice their opposition to crime. Nobody locked their doors and we played outside on summer nights on the streets and even the alley ways in a safe and sound environment. Could someone please offer an explanation as to what happened to the south side of Milwaukee? NOTE - calling me a racist or telling me that 'these are different times' will not be considered acceptable."
--- User comment on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article entitled "South Side Milwaukee Neighborhood Rallies Against Violence."
In 1950, Milwaukee was 96.6% White and only 3.4% Black. By 2010, Milwaukee was a majority-Black city, with 40% of the population being Black and only 37% White.
