[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] ^ could it be any more clear ? [/qb][/QUOTE]It is crazy you are more concerned with that […], as supposed: [QUOTE] [b]new view of gentrification[/b] For researchers studying urban issues such as gentrification, one of the largest challenges is collecting detailed visual evidence across hundreds of square miles of city streets. Sampson said the key finding “is that the predominantly black, seriously discriminated-against neighborhoods in Chicago and many other American cities aren’t reaping the same benefits from the transformation of cities. In one sense, this is a paradoxical result, because there is evidence that diversity and mixed neighborhoods are the ground floor of gentrification, but this paper shows there are sharp limits to that.” [...] [/QUOTE] http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2014/08/a-new-view-of-gentrification/ [QUOTE] [b]"Beryl Satter knew something like this was bound to happen. Or, rather, to happen again.[/b] The Rutgers historian wrote the book on an obscure form of predatory lending from the mid-20th century that victimized black home buyers when banks would not lend them mortgages. Her book, "Family Properties," came out in 2009, on the heels of the housing crash. And as she traveled the country talking about it — about families defrauded from the homes they thought they owned, about sellers who promised home ownership but collected deposits and evictions instead — people kept approaching her. "Pretty much everywhere I go, people say 'I’ve been hearing about this,'" Satter says. "Contract" selling is making a comeback."

Chicago is a city with a rich black heritage. And the South Side, fondly dubbed the “heart of black America,” is where much of the city’s cherished history emanates. Comprising a mix of poverty-stricken, working-class, and upper-income black residents, the South Side can lay claim to the country’s first black woman senator, the nation’s first black president, and various black elites. Chicago also holds the inglorious distinction of being one of the country’s most segregated cities. This is also the South Side’s legacy—and it encompasses its public schools. With the return of Chicago public-school students to school just two weeks away, nearly 1,000 teachers and support staff received layoff notices earlier this month. Among the schools hardest hit: the South Side’s Bradwell School of Excellence and Harlan Community Academy, an elementary school and high school, respectively, with staff cuts in the double digits. The most recent layoffs continue an alarming pattern of racial inequality that was documented following Chicago’s mass school closings in 2013. As reported by The American Prospect, “While black students were 40 percent of Chicago’s school district population … they made up 88 percent of those affected by the [public-school] closures.” [...] [/QUOTE] https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/08/chicagos-inescapable-segregation/496733/ Not a bleep from you when it comes to this and the other troubling conditions I have posted about, rather you make sarcastic threads like [i]"are black people oppressed?"[/i] That is how much you support Africana scholarly. Hell, no way are you a black woman trained in humanitarian Africana studies. So why even interfere in the discourse? If you truly was that great you would have made yourself known in an open-debate with Dr. Wesley Muh Ammad. [/QB][/QUOTE]
