The reason for the poor black communities of today are the government policies of the 40-60s that were designed to created poor black neighborhoods.

So everything you said is wrong like usual. People have posted several links even in this thread that can educate you.

So 60 to 80 years and generations later thats still your excuse? Right.. Isn't it strange that literally everyone else, people to countries, across the globe, can better their situations in less time? So weird that yall are just the odd man out...America must be a terrible place to live. So strange that no one seems to want to leave though..

The Racial Segregation of American Cities Was Anything But Accidental | History | Smithsonian Magazine

The United States’ History of Segregated Housing Continues to Limit Affordable Housing - Center for American Progress

"In the period spanning the middle of the 20th century, roughly from 1930 to 1960, housing discrimination was a feature of local, state, and federal policy as blacks migrated from the rural South and crowded into urban communities in the North. Such policies produced federal housing programs that lumped African Americans into highly segregated ghettoes.

Lenders, with the encouragement of the federal government, employed underwriting rules that preferred and sought to maintain racially white neighborhoods, a now discredited practice called redlining.13 Federal agencies financed nearly half of all suburban homes in the 1950s and 1960s, boom years in the creation of middle-class America, boosting homeownership rates from nearly 30 percent of the population to more than 60 percent by 1960.14 Of course, black applicants were left out. By one analysis, 98 percent of the loans approved by the federal government between 1934 and 1968 went to white applicants.15 Intentionally discriminatory housing and lending practices are unquestionably at the core of the hypersegregation of black Americans in urban communities.16"



The housing boom is what created wealth for most white Americans. Black people were denied the free wealth generated by these programs and also were pushed into overcrowed and purposely underfunded slums.

I just knew it was whitey's fault. In that period you mentioned, Eisenhower was the only Republican President, and the House was only controlled by Republicans for 4 of those 30+ years..

Yes, people should be allowed to be different. Those who choose not to fight twice as hard for the same outcome should not be belittled by those who didn't have to

A poor white kid in the same circumstance as the "Jamal" who works twice as hard isnt going to get to the same level society assumes I am at either.

The entire argument is based on looking at the relative "best" case scenario and comparing it the relative "worst" case scenario.

It never goes back to see that most of those "best" cases were "worst" cases in some point of their past. And the future doesnt guarantee that the best case doesnt end up back at the worst case at some point in the future.

Who said anything about party? Both were complicit, both had segregationists during that period.

The US government had racist policies that created the poor black neighborhoods. It is a historical fact.

It's literally why our nation exists. Centuries of oppression.

White Americans ancestors largely came over here to get away from oppressive or not good situations, or just to better themselves. Some who came over brought that oppression with them, slavery.

What's interesting is if anyone wants to continue that line of thinking. I can see a couple interesting spinoffs.

What made the housing projects become ghettoes? Did they start as run down, burned out, trashed housing for black people?

What? You just said those policies have held your people down and kept them from bettering their lives. So because of government polices that have been extinct for almost 100 years black people are unable to stop committing crime, get an education, find adequate work, find affordable housing, save money, and invest for the future? Its almost like youre saying you cant be held responsible for your own actions and require everyone else to carry you to success..
