Hmmm. I honestly didn't realize it was that easy. Maybe they could offer businesses rewards for moving into St Louis making thugs leave or forcing stronger police force therefore overall safer area to live in. Where do all the thugs go when they are forced out though?
Revisit post number 14 of this thread. (See Video). Then you would understand why investment in the black community is never welcomed by the black community.
Do you understand what gentrification means? It's getting rid of poorer citizens by making it economically impossible to live there. Giving poor people no place to live. They aren't against investment but they want a place to live that they can afford.
Your racism fails to understand the actual reality in St. Louis. Black people are not some foreign creatures, they're human beings just like you. However, they are targeted consistently targeted by police for petty crimes and arrested for them.
This leads to a criminal record that they don't have the money to expunge. Which leads to less job opportunities for them. Which gets them involved in worse crimes to survive like robbery, assault and even murder. Thus perpetually giving into this ridiculous stereotype.
And white flight occurred because whites believe (and still to this day) that they are superior to the black people and didn't want their kids going to school with them. St. Louis County has 91 municipalities, most were set up to keep black people out. They all had police to make life unbearable for black people.
It's not their skin color that makes them prone to crime, it's poverty, lack of job opportunities and police harassment that puts them in this situation.
