The Ghetto is a Government Policy:
In this topic, I will explain the purpose of ghetto's from a government stand point.
This information is the secret within the secret of racism. Blacks in American, really do not understand racism as a business!
Racism is a huge business one of the biggest industries in America!
Let me give a brief introduction of the business of racism.
a. Slavery of course, was more about economics than anything else.
b.The Civil War wasn't about freeing the slaves, the war was about companies in the north not being able to compete, against slave wages in the south.
c. Establish a penal system that mirrored slavery, to establish a legal form of slavery.
d. The school system in America was not unified because of the win over Brown vs. Board of Topeka, but the truth of the matter it was a money issue, that most states could not afford to no long run two different schools system, one for Whites and another for Blacks!
e.The banking industry "red lining" on interest payments on all loans to Blacks to keep payments of White customers cheaper.
f. The NON- GUARANTEE of FHA loans to Whites who lived near Blacks?
The NON- GUARANTEE of FHA loans to Whites in 1950's & 60's created ghettos! This means Whites had a good reason not to live around Blacks.
The NON- GUARANTEE of loans to Whites is what I want to really address! So if Whites have to chose where to live because its a economical decision, then what do you do with the Blacks?
Easy answer you create a community for them called the GHETTO! The ghetto would almost be a cure- all for Whites, for their problems of dealing with Blacks in the inner city. Besides keeping Blacks out of White neighborhoods, they could now control and monitor Blacks efficiently, now because they a large portion of them lived in one area.
This would be done by reassign police officer back to their original task in America, as slave catchers?
*Tip
The Fraternal Order of Police Officer started out as slave catchers whom patrolled the Mason- Dixon line between the North and South on the look- out for run- away slaves to return them to their masters for a finders- fee!
So the northern & western states experienced a mass migration from the rural south, as Blacks left in record number causing a exodus of epic size as Blacks left to go on a quest for a better life in the north from the late 40s to the mid 70s.
One very effective way of dealing with Blacks, was the construction of Projects. Many Projects had been started in the 30s from the new deal {Pres. Franklin Roosevelt}. This dealt with the first wave of Blacks and it worked very successfully. Now by the 50s, project started to appear everywhere there was a large population of Blacks living there.
With this legal segregation in place, prejudice by Whites was turn into full- blown racism now! Now much like slavery many Whites seen this as a way to profit off, of Blacks whom wanted to do better in life. Remembering that the projects originally where designed for the working poor? So Whites, knew Blacks could not get loans, if they did, it was at a very high interest rate. So this made everything that Blacks need cost more, than the usual price, or going rate. This meant as long as Whites or Non- Blacks{Arabs & Asians}controlled the market place profits would remain high for shop keepers!
**Tip
Segregation- means, a enforced separation.
When dealing with housing Blacks where preyed upon by White and Jewish slum lords. Remembering that poor Whites, Jews and a few Blacks where the first tenants in the project homes and neighborhoods. So as Whites and Jews left the poor neighborhoods around and near projects they still owned the homes and buildings, which they rented and lease to Blacks at ridiculous prices or had moderate prices but never fixed anything thus making their profits high also because of no reinvestment cost into the properties.
***Tip
Ghetto- defined, the Jewish quarter of a city!
One trick the FHA done was to make affordable housing, only in the way of attracting undesirable to live in these certain zoned areas, thus creating a ghetto, which the name project or projects would arise from!
****Tip
Project defined
a. a business designed created to achieve a specific aim.
b. a science experiment designed to achieve a certain aim.
The FHA was designed in it's interception {1937} to protect and shield White neighborhoods from being infused with Black or minority people. The FHA, even went as far as to hire field scouts to watch and monitor communities of all Whites, all Blacks and mixed communities to see what outcomes where or adjustments were need.
By the time of the 1950's when President Eisenhower declares he wanted to connect America from sea to sea by highway, freeway and byway{ Federal Highway Act 1956}. All government agencies gave their input and information. But the secret information of the FHA was held in high regards to the Eisenhower administrative members. Because flourishing all Black neighbors would be relocated to make way for new highways or in the same manner for none flourishing all Black neighborhoods that sat to close to White communities, those Black communities would be disband also.
*****Tip
Example: In Detroit there was a very popular and flourishing street in a all Black neighborhood called Hasting Street- {Eastside of Detroit called Paradise Valley/ Black Bottom/ the new Tiger Stadium}
John Lee Hooker {blues musician} record cover had a picture of Hasting Street on it! Hasting Street community was equivalent to New York City, Harlem and Chicago's southside neighborhoods! They relocated and disband the community and put I- 75, right through the middle!
Now even with redirecting of some FHA policy to the newly created HUD {Housing and Urban Development 1965} many courts across America have ruled that HUD polices are very racists! Some say even more so than FHA, because HUD was design to deal directly with the so called "Nigger Problem" thus evidence in the name of the agency HOUSING and URBAN DEVELOPMENT. This problem has been acknowledge by past and present White House administration.
Note:
I will make a part 2, to this topic. I do not wish to make this to overwhelming, because this a emotional topic because many Blacks have had bad experience with these particular government agency in the wake of the last mortgage melt down or GREAT RECESSION!
love, live and learn
Because in general most Blacks simply try to ignore racism, ignoring is a coping mechanism. This is commonly known as the "ostrich hiding its head in the dirt"!
*Tip
Understanding the quote "ostrich hiding its head in the dirt"!
What this means in short, is that the person ignoring the problem is a coward! Because the ostrich has put its head in the dirt, not to see the problem. But the problem still exists, and now the ostrich can not see it has left the rest of the body exposed to the problem which is probably a predator, so the ostrich is still killed by the predator in the end.
As Blacks we discuss racism among each other, but I have been doing this so long, helping my people, I have discovered patterns within certain Black people. "We can be discussing racism among each other and they will start automatically whispering to me, I look around to see who coming or approaching us, to find there is nobody around us, so why are they whispering? They have been whip into submission and have a inferiority complex about themselves.
The next type is what I call the "loud b
