Bruce's Beach Returns to Heirs.

Quote:

The land was bought in 1912 by Willa and Charles Bruce, who built the first west coast resort for Black people at a time when many beaches were segregated. The couple suffered racist harassment from white neighbors and the KKK, and in the 1920s, the Manhattan Beach city council took the land through eminent domain. The city claimed it needed the land for a park, but then left it vacant for decades and transferred it to the state of California in 1948.

You might think that the Bruce family getting the land back and leasing it to the County would not ruffle any feathers, but that would be naive.

Quote:

The Task Force’s recommendations met heated opposition in the form of an anonymous media campaign from a group calling itself only “Concerned Residents of MB.” It issued mailers and paid for a two-page advertisement in The Beach Reporter that said Manhattan Beach had been “falsely accused of being a racist city” and that the task force was using race to “grab power.” The group called for disbanding the Task Force and denial of all its recommendations.

How does it go? Complaints are a confession?

Quote:

“The task force is labeling Manhattan Beach as a racist,” said resident Angela Nelson. “Every town has a few bad apples.

It should be obvious to the most casual observer that the lilly white Manhattan Beach who forced out the black owners of Bruce's Beach for being black, is **** ing racist.
