Thats not the reason ghettos were created. They were created to keep blacks in certain areas away from whites. Since those areas had few resources the ghettos were planned to fail which they did...All because whites didnt want blacks to have shit
That's not how ghettos are formed. Trust me, I live in a very diverse community, and in fact, a minority where I live.
Thats how ghettos were formed unless you think Redlining is fiction.
It was a great suburb at one time. Stores were thriving, housing was strong and secure, the city had plenty of money for the needs of the community, and then blacks moved in.
We didn't change for the blacks, blacks changed our city. Stores began to close down because of robberies or fear thereof, other stores began to close early for the same reason. Our police department and emergency services were overwhelmed and we had to add more officers and build another fire station.
Our lawns and streets became littered with garbage. In fact before I mow, I have to clean all the trash off of my tree lawn. Noise became nearly impossible to deal with. Blacks stay up all night long even during the work week and it makes it harder for working people to sleep at night. When they aren't making noise, their guns are.
The schools became zoos. Teachers were being assaulted every other week. Good taxpaying people moved out in fear for their children. Non-working lowlifes that paid no taxes moved in. We went from one murder every ten years or so to three a year or more.
So people who had no money moved in without money. Now why were those people attracted to that particular area? Coincidence?
Since redlining is an actual thing that can be proven shouldnt we at least acknowledge its effects? Or should we continue to act confused by how all the poor people ended up in one area?
Property values plummeted, the city found themselves broke and even in debt. People no longer took summer walks and armed their homes with alarm systems and security lights. They even had to get rid of 4th of July fireworks because you can't assemble any large group of blacks without it turning into gang fights or riots.
Ok, now you're just bullshitting. I'm black and have been around groups of blacks and not one time did a gang fight break out or a riot.
That's how ghettos are formed. Trust me, I've lived it and so have our surrounding suburbs.
I trust thats how you feel but when you say blacks cant gather without a gang fight you become see through
Redlining has been illegal for years, so quit making excuses:
In the United States, the
Fair Housing Act of 1968 was passed to fight the practice. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development "The
Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful to discriminate in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale of a dwelling because of race or national origin. The Act also makes it unlawful for any person or other entity whose business includes residential real estate-related transactions to discriminate against any person in making available such a transaction, or in the terms or conditions of such a transaction, because of race or national origin."
[19] The
Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity was tasked with administering and enforcing this law. Anyone who suspects that their neighborhood has been redlined is able to file a housing discrimination
complaint. The
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 further required banks to apply the same lending criteria in all communities.
