Intro-Dr. Dre

Compton was the American dream.

Sunny California with a palm tree

in the front yard, the camper, the boat.

Temptingly close to the Los Angeles

in the 50s and 60s, it became

"The Black American Dream".

Open housing paved a way as middle class black

flooded into the city.

Whites don't buy houses in Compton anymore.

Now with 74% of the population black power

is the fact of life

From banks to bowling alleys,

Once a dream many black thought

they've been buying has turned sour.

Though the mayor and 4

out of 5 consul men are black,

they have been unable to solve

the problems of crime and growing welfare,

which is slowing suburban turning Compton

into an extension of the black innercity.

Crime is now as high as the ghetto.

47 homicides last year gave Compton

one of the highest per capital rates

in the country.

Juvenal activity, muggings,

and small robberies make some

blacks off to leave
