No one here realizes this, but blacks on welfare receive housing in the inner city...whites on welfare get section 8 housing in apartment complexes in the suburbs.
Blacks get section 8 housing too. And who's fault is it that inner city black communities are unpleasant places to live?
Sometimes, blacks get section 8 housing...usually black section 8 is in what you refer to as the 'Inner City.' As for whose fault some of these places are unpleasant to live, its the criminals fault. I have seen 'white' projects that are just as unpleasant to live in as 'black' projects.
What do you really know about the inner city...is it just what you consider to be 'downtown' or where the blacks live? Are you grouping all black communities and calloing them the inner city because they are downtown and filled with blacks, somewhere someone like you probably wouldn't dare to venture because you think every black neighborhood is the ghetto.
You're the one who implied whites have an advantage when it comes to subsidized housing. My family immigrated from Eastern Europe to NY when I was a child. I grew up poor in a neighborhood called Washington Heights, which was a very unpleasant neighborhood. Growing up in the city, I had many friends, many of which were black, where I spent sometime in their communities. Yes, what makes poor inner city communities unpleasant to live in is the criminals, and the problem is these communities have a lot of them. I'm not saying it's exclusively a black problem, but we do see this problem often in black neighborhoods.
