Past Housing Discrimination Contributed To Wealth Gap Between Blacks and Whites In Kansas City
Sam Shockley went to school with the black students who eventually desegregated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. So he was more than familiar with the harshness of racism. When he moved to Kansas City in the 1950s, he experienced a different brand of it. "Here it was more covert," Shockley says.
Mr Shockley remembers when White people had Freedom Of Association. The Civil Rights Act (a mandate that no one voted for) destroyed that Freedom.
ReplyDeleteBased on what I've personally seen, that story is almost completely true. The problem is you have people that for 40 it 50 years have never tried to get out of those neighborhoods and now their house is worthless. Dude, you've had 50 years to move.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great article. I'm white and never knew why my black friends would balk at going certain places with me. It helps me understand were they're coming from.thanks tkc
ReplyDeleteOH BOO FUCKING HOO, SPARE US MORE GIBSMEDAT
ReplyDeleteWhat made the property worthless? Coild it be the crime perpetrated by their younger generations?
ReplyDeleteIf negroes had been allowed to buy property anywhere back then, we would have no nice neighborhoods today.
ReplyDeleteBlacks should be honest about hanging around people who aren't black. They don't want to do it. They feel more comfortable when they are with their own people, like most of us. Equality isn't about living next to non-black folks. It's about having the choice to live where they want. Ask any black person to honestly answer the question: Do you really want to live and work with non-blacks? The answer will be NO.
