THE SOCIAL ILLUSION: AMERICAN SEGREGATION STILL EXIST!
We’ve done little to desegregate neighborhoods, believing their racial homogeneity is “de facto”, tied to private prejudice, personal choices, realtor discrimination or income differences that make middle-class suburbs unaffordable to most African Americans. Under our constitutional system, if neighborhoods are segregated by private activity, we can do little about it.
Only if neighborhoods are segregated “de jure”, by explicit government policy, is remedial action permitted. Indeed, the constitution requires remedies for de jure segregation.
In truth, de facto segregation is largely a myth!! The New Deal created our first civilian public housing, intended to provide lodging mostly for lower-middle class white families during the Depression. The Roosevelt administration built a few projects for black families as well, but almost always segregated
Urban public housing, originally for middle-class white Americans and later for lower-income African Americans, combined with FHA subsidized suburbanization of whites, created a “white noose” around urban black families that persists to this day.
In 1968, the Fair Housing Act permitted African Americans to access previously white neighborhoods. But it prohibited only future discrimination, without undoing the previous 35 years of government-imposed segregation. In suburbs like Levittown that sprouted nationwide in the 1940s and 50s, houses sold for about $100,000 (in today’s currency), twice the national median income.
ARE BLACKS AMERICAN CITIZENS?
If THEY have to make special amendments (13, 14,& 15) Then U are not one.. PLUS, They do not even HONOR those and that is in the U.S. Constitution.. If they HONORED that there would be no need for the Voting Rights Act of 1965
I am under 40 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 has to be vote on. First, Under REAGAN in the early 80's. The under the second Bush, 2006.. BOTH REPUBLICANS BY THE WAY! So are AFRICAN - Americans TRULY FIRST CLASS CITIZENS?
EQUALITY TO THE EUROPEAN IS A SOCIAL ILLUSION! WHO MADE THEM THE "MEASURING STICK"? THE EUROPEAN DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO BE BOTHER WITH U! THE EUROPEAN IS PRACTICING PAN-EURO CENTRISM
This isn't a story about what minorities have done. It's about how many white people have reacted to increasing exposure to nonwhite populations, who are following in their footsteps and pursuing the traditional American dream. The reaction is not always articulated or even intentional; in fact, most people say they want to live in a diverse and integrated community; they, too, have the dream that no one will be judged by the color of their skin.
But data shows that as minorities move into suburbs, white families are making small and personal decisions that add velocity to the momentum of discrimination. They are increasingly choosing to self-segregate into racially isolated communities — "hunkering down," as Lichter likes to call it — and preserving a specific kind of dream.
Last year, researchers conducted an experiment in which they took a group of about 200 white people and primed some of them with different news articles. When the respondents were reminded about America's growing diversity, they showed more bias against black people.
When it comes time for the housing search, black and Latino residents look in neighborhoods that are as diverse as they say they want. White residents "give a socially acceptable answer in the abstract," Krysan said, but they end up searching and living in much less diverse areas.
What this shows is that it's not black and Latino people who are self-segregating into neighborhoods — a myth that is often perpetuated, Krysan said. Rather, it's white residents who say they want more diversity but end up looking in less diverse areas.
After segregation ended, black people were excited to support businesses owned by white people and other racial groups. Many black people felt this way due to the fact that they believed they were missing out on something so they wanted to support as many businesses as they could. As a result, many black-owned businesses, theaters, insurance companies, and banks went out of business. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs, only 2.1% of businesses were black-owned in 2014.
Integration has not only hurt black people financially; subconsciously it has caused many to believe that black people are beneath white people. Thus, causing many black people to lose respect and love for one another. For example, some discredit or do not support anything associated with black people i.e. businesses, colleges/universities, and communities as they believe these institutions are inferior. This not a foreign concept rapper and activist David Banner stated on SisterCircleTV this past January “I personally think that integration was the worst thing that ever happened to Black people even more than slavery.”

"If the Negro is forced to live in the GHETTO, he can more easily DEVELOP OUT OF IT UNDER HIS OWN LEADERSHIP than under that which is SUPER- IMPOSED. The NEGRO will never be able to show all of HIS ORIGINALITY as long as efforts are DIRECTED from without by THOSE who SOCIALLY proscribe him." - CARTER G. WOODSON, MIS- EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO.
