As a matter of fact Orange Mound is the second largest black neighborhood in America ... Memphis, TN Updated Saturday, September 11, 2010 9:53 AM

Memphis is a ghetto, 93% black part of Tennessee, that has the highest crime rate in the nation. More homocides, rapes, theft, & kidnappings happen in areas such as the Mall of Memphis, & Orange Mound than anywhere else in the United States. Memphis is the city where "Crunk" was first used. It is the most populated city in Tennessee, & the only one that votes democrat. There are many attractions to visit such as Mud Island, Graceland, Beale Street, The Memphis Zoo, the Memphis in May Festival, & the National Civil Rights Museum, but it is recommended you bring mace, because you are likely to get shot by a Blood, Vice Lord, or Crip member, because all three operate their southern gang heaquarters in Memphis.

The most worthless city in the whole United States , 93% black
crooked cops , gangs , hoes , you name it . not a vacation spot . run while you can .

Orange Mound is a neighborhood in the southeastern area of Memphis, Tennessee and was the first African-American neighborhood in the United States to be built by African-Americans. Orange Mound is also an official suburb of South Memphis.

Built on the grounds of the former Deaderick plantation, the Orange Mound subdivision was developed as a neighborhood for African-Americans in the 1890s with affordable land and residences for the less wealthy.

Drugs and crime infected the neighborhood in the 1980s 1990s. 2000s

Orange Mound was billed as "the largest concentration of blacks in the United States except for Harlem in New York City."

In the 1980s, the use of crack cocaine began separating families, generating violence, ravaging the community with crime, and breaking many homes. The drug use devastated the poor and middle class families, who were doctors, lawyers, homeowners and more. This community had been built on strong families, preachers, churchers, and civil pride, and it was the largest community of black homeowners in the 1940-50's. However, in the 1980s, the community role models shifted away from teachers, preachers, and doctors to drug dealers and gang members. Orange Mound was listed in 1994 as the # 1 area for murders, burglaries, and rapes in Memphis

Orange Mound also hosts a growing underground rap scene as well as national hip-hop stars. Rappers 8 Ball & MJG (Premro Smith and Marlon Jermain Goodwin) grew up in Orange Mound. They met at Ridgeway High in East Memphis where a lot of Orange Mound Kids attended during the era of busing, which was from the early 1970s to the early 1990s
