I have no hesitation in entering into this kind of ballsup. The good
Ajouk, woman who lives withme and supports me in many ways, was
invited to a "civil rights" meeting in the Jane-Steeles area of
Toronto a couple years ago.
Jane-Steeles is governed by black gangs. One of the big interesting
problems for us outsiders is the Jamaicans: many large criminal gangs
consist of Jamaicans, but on the other hand Jamaican-Canadians are
leaders in accountancy, in education, in music, and it may well be in
crime prevention.
Same goes for the Vietnamese. There have been a large number of
horrible crimes committed by Viets against Chinese-Canadians in the
last five years. Fortunately there have been huge numbers of
convictions: apparently the community rallied around, trusted
the police, and decided they were not willing to put up with this shit.
I predict that in the coming generation we shall see both Jamaican and
Vietnamese members of city council -- in exactly the same way as Nathan
Phillips was elected Mayor with the help of old Mafia money from the
Meyer Lansky '30's and 40's.
Remember you heard it here first...
