Read all three, each referring to the 1900s to say the 1920s to 1950s coincidentally when r****m was still being challenged and acceptance still living by segregation.. Since that time the housing laws did change, the job market did change and the standards all went to enforce discrimination laws of color..
What didn’t change was the make up of the b****s to excel at their new protections or perhaps in spite of them???
I lived in Chicago for many years and can tell you real estate companies did and still do direct their minority standings people to the well known segregated areas of housing of their same ethnicity.. Those residential areas have in themselves their own stores food,clothing, etc that provide them with all the things of their own culture they could want including people like me that went to the Italian grocery stores for certain items, or the Chinese and Polish stores for wh**ever etc..They thrive just fine.. Their neighborhoods not Raught with horrendous crime, or fear in being in them as a white person shopping etc... They welcome you and all are gracious and accommodating etc.. Actually I enjoyed going to them..
Now,go ahead and think me r****t in this statement... Southside Chicago is a predominately black community that simply is not safe to go to day or night, especially night..Even cops won’t go into the Southside without the r**t squad... Crime and shooting a daily affair.. Look at just this past weekend “ gun spree” as they are calling it.. Can’t get to a job?? Train station goes around the entire city to many a local business segment.. As do buses.. The stores they do have are loaded with bars over windows.. Doors that buzz you in when you ring it..Businesses open and close within a year.. Why?? Crime and gangs that shake down the owner and the few customers they do get..Row homes built back in those 40s 50s your articles refer to razed with all new built yet look at them now, right back to the same rat infested garbage heaps they have become.. Slum lords yes, and some fed up with spending thousands today in repairs for refrigerators, stoves, hell piping yanked out in 6 months~~
Suppressed to stay in those ghetto areas only by they not initiating the desire and Perseverance to get out.. This is not the 1900s to 1950s.. Every social program available and utilized by them but not to the benefit of themselves. The entitlement age is our worst enemy and I feel for every child in school today.. They are taught entitlement, not independence, not self respect, not perseverance and certainly not goals....

Things are supposed to change but they rarely do. For example a law was passed to award government contracts to minority businesses. Then they changed minority status to include women. So, suddenly a whole lot of businesses were put into the wife’s name so the contracts still went to the same people.
