Ignorance breeds ignorance. Many of them know not how to simply relax and enjoy life.<br /><br />@G Newman. Thanks for the great ti on the read. I will have to check it out. The history of public space is so fascinating and little discussed. I am always struck by the laws on sidewalks and how parades were so important as acts of civic belonging. I may occasionally start posting excerpts of some of those laws as they make so much of the abstract history more real.chaunceydevegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652406326490873337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-89261737105236641252011-07-02T21:02:13.034-05:002011-07-02T21:02:13.034-05:00Excellent historical survey!

As a recipe for race riots, The Beach has EVERYTHING -- youth, sexual imagery, unstable boundaries that permit interracial mixing contrary to white majority norms. That's why beaches and swimming pools were the triggers for so many riots in Chicago and elsewhere. <br /><br />Interestingly, while the minority might change given different demographics in different regions of the country, white male privilege remained universal: Beaches have been triggers for Anglo-Latino riots in California and white-Asian conflict in pre-war Hawaii. Another good history that might be of interest is "Contested Waters: A Social History of Swimming Pools in America," by Jeff Wiltse (University of North Carolina Press, 2007).G Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787633155347238902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-17003397822444568282011-07-01T17:36:03.924-05:002011-07-01T17:36:03.924-05:00Do you know whats equally disturbing, if not worst...Do you know whats equally disturbing, if not worst, black on black violence at the beach. <br />Look what happened last month in New York:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4774HeT7Dss<br /><br />When will ALL people be able to just enjoy a day at the beach?LNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636461129003989537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-26516184940297550692011-07-01T15:31:51.084-05:002011-07-01T15:31:51.084-05:00CD,
