It is common knowledge that real-estate sales place the minorities in the cheapest housing areas, which are typically junk. these become the ghettos or nearly so.. the unpleasant areas do have a lasting affect on all who live in them and that is reflected in all outlooks on life.. As well as the area schools and work opportunities..

when my son moved to Tulsa some years ago.. when looking for a house the sales man openly told them that some areas where they had selected houses to look at, they would not like. they would not like the neighbors.. turned out that was code for black areas..

They did get a very nice house. When they moved up to Mankato MN.. they were aware of the practice but in our lily white state and that little city was not true.. so it depends on location but is true..

No one could help but agree with the first part, it is very true, the admiration of Gangsta.. stuff just has to stop..

The rest of your post I sorta agree with but find things much more complicated then as expressed. the police relations will not be changed by anything simple..

Housing limitations make up a large part of the problem.. the social programs need to be "fixed" that will be a forever problem..

Meanwhile we live with what we got..

Never had much contact with Blacks. a few marine corps buddies.. a total of 6 fellow students in high school, never saw any minority other then American Indian until end of 7th grade moved to Mpls..

Worked with a total of two which I got to know.. one was bitter and sullen, did not say much but clearly he felt resentment.. the other one was a fellow from Mississippi, who came up to Minnesota and worked at the trucking company which a spent a few years at.. he instructed me on several of the jobs when I first worked and he knew more about the operation then most of the management.. I asked him later why he did not take a management job, he could have done in his sleep as far as knowledge was concerned.. he told me very seriously that he had to be twice was good just to have the job he had.. it covered his needs so why put up with much more stress and BS to hold a job many would work to make him fail at..

so much is real even when it seems to me that it is minor.. and how to fix it all will be much more then a weekend retreat..

It is not real estate practice to place minorities in cheaper real estate. It is real estate practice to place buyers in homes that meet their price point and other attributes.

Many folks self segregate because they are more comfortable in “just like me” surroundings. Many don’t care and make their decision based on a variety of attributes.

I lived in an 8000 home subdivision outside houston for 20 years. It was highly integrated. Plenty of commonality in home style and upkeep, typical of the price range.

To make real estate people into racists is pure nonsense.

I have worked 40 years with professionals, engineers, physicists, chemists, geo scientists and mathematicians. Many are non-Caucasian. Many are black. Particularly when working in Africa and Asia. They are at least as well educated if not better and equally motivated as whites.

For those of color who get an education and apply themselves to work and maintain traditional family values where education is perceived to be of high value, suffer zero living standard/ success difference from caucasians.

I have no proof but it seems in situations where doing well in school is looked down upon or otherwise subscribing to what is deemed “white” culture results in poor if not criminal results.

If seen plenty of minorities do very well. That tells me that all can achieve similar results if they make the right choices. By the way, there are plenty of dysfunctional white folks who do poorly or become careeer criminals.

The government has spent billions over the last 60 years and little has changed. More money is not the answer. People make choices often influenced by others without ideas.

Sounds like an American Conservative to me! { The backbone of this established society, since before 1776!}''

No one "lauds"...the inept, corrupt, evil, & sexually confused Demoncrat!...{ Except themselves?...."MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL....WHO IS THE MOST CONFUSED, & DEBAUCHED OF US ALL"?}

In order for Economic Marxism to work, community organizers have to indoctrinate their listeners with those presuppositions (lies) that erode the personal incentive to get ahead, meaning, to compete for a job position to make more money to buy those things that better one's living circumstances and to be out of debt. Once a person is "demoralized," they become sponges to whatever fixation the "organizer" uses to control the mob.

The current "mob" is the young students coming out or attending our major colleges and universities. They are required to take sociology classes where they are indoctrinated with "critical theory." They move in the culture with a false perception of "victim and oppressor," applying it to "boss and worker." Hence, stores in cities where the "free market capitalism" is operating, they, through Soros-funded mobs like the thuggish BLM and Antifa wreak their havoc.
