Is Ending Segregation the Key to Ending Poverty?

[timslash]

Like many mothers raising children in Chicago's housing projects in the 1990s and 2000s, Seitia Harris was afraid of the drugs and violence that were pervasive in the neighborhood where she lived, Altgeld Gardens on the city's South Side. She made sure to provide her three children with every opportunity she could, taking them to ballet lessons, after-school academic programs, plays and activities around the city, encouraging them to work hard at school and stay away from drugs. But the specter of violence and poverty was hard to escape.
Well, very interesting article i think!
And maybe black people commit crimes only because they just don't know what else to do?
Many of them were born in poverty, some of them grown up on streets and on streets, u know that you haven't got choice...
What do you think about this experiment guys?

Well, now that it's 1923, we should address this.

No doubt by 2015 - any fool spewing about "segregation" will be nothing more than a race baiting huckster.

Do you mean economic segregation?

Not only. Racial and religious too. Of course it seems like now, all people of all skin color - can do everything they want and there is no borders for them, but... Read daily news, about black people who were in jail just because nobody wanted to conduct a real investigation, about black people who were killed by police and hope you will understand what i mean.

Idk, it seems like we willingly segregate ourselves, not just Blacks but everyone else. For example when a refugee from Syria comes here he wants to be with other Syrians, not Blacks or Puerto Ricans.

No.

Yes, that.
"Segregation" takes two forms. We kind of addressed the legal one. What's left is the cultural. And that's both internally voluntary and externally involuntary. So when we say "all people of all skin color can do everything they want" we mean the legal part only.

Poverty is basically the results of lost opportunities. When you take away the opportunities to be self-supporting, you create poverty. How much poverty did we have back in the 50's and 60's when we had plants and factories on almost every street corner? How much poverty did we have when the "Made IN U.S.A." label was common on store shelves? How much poverty did we have when our plants and factories provided self-supporting living wage jobs that covered all education and skill levels?

What happened when we closed the steel mills, the textile mills, the electronics plants, the furniture factories, the tool maker plants, the toy maker factories, the appliance factories, the farm equipment plants, and sent those jobs to cheap foreign labor markets? What about the plants that once produced housewares? And, what happened when off-shore job out-sourcing became a common practice? What about the importing of labor? What effect did millions of illegal immigrants have on the job market?

Poverty is caused by a lack of opportunities to be self-supporting. How many citizens really enjoy living in poverty? How many citizens enjoy being dependent on hand-outs, charity, and government assistance programs? Does anyone think that it's fun and easy? Could we put a dent in poverty with millions of jobs repairing and upgrading our rundown infrastructure? Think people, think.

This answers a lot of questions. It explains the rise of gated land lease communities like the one my son lives in. It's impossible to buy property in these communities. A housing authority can't. The only thing able to be purchased is a structure. The house. The house is built only by the owners of the land who sell the home but lease the land it's on. The lease agreement covering the lease and HOA CC&R is 106 pages. Each neighborhood has a separate HOA with a separate HOA payment and a separate CC&R.

Now I understand why these communities are so popular.
