I was just watching a discussion about how insurance companies could insure based on race. And how investment companies would demand higher interest rates or refuse to invest if even one "negro" lived in an area because it might mean more were coming.
Detroit was used as an example and such policies extended right up through government. It's why they have an awful "people mover" instead of real and robust public transportation is one example. Government policies helped bring down and segregate the city and supported "white flight".
White zingers refuse to even discuss how their actions created this situation. Part of that is the racism that led to the murder and celebration by the right of young Trayvon Martin. When a white murderer child killer at Sandy Hook or at the Batman theater happens, it's one crazy outsider. But when a young black child like Trayvon Martin is murdered it's the victims fault and it means the entire race is bad. Racism of the most sick and devious kind.

The president talks about when young hearing people locking their car doors.
Jesse Jackson talks about hearing footsteps behind him and is relieved when he sees it's white people.
Cab drivers are reluctant to pick up black people late at night....Why? because maybe he wants to see his family when he gets off shift one more time.
How about the lady recently that was working in a bakery that was killed by some blak kids wearing Trayvon Martin style hoodies...
Oh yeah and we are racists for just trying to get by in life and not end up as a statistic
of black crime.
There's a million reasons to be fearful of black people.
