Is Detrot Really This Segregated?
- Thread starter OPTiMO
- Start date
What do you expect, the government was handing out checks back in the 50s and 60s to get the whites out of the city after WWII, but they were denying the same assistance to Black folks, so White preference and color laws on and off the books, combined with loan companies refusing to loan money to high risk Blacks kept negroes out of the planned suburb communities, and white people still largely live there today, unless they come in, drive the price up like they did in Georgetown, and kick all the Black folks out.
It's not like Black people chose to live in the ghetto. Opportunities and jobs left, especially after desegregation when there was less need for Black owned businesses, and White people got the fukk out of the city so they wouldn't have to live next to the Black folks + get subsidized housing in the nice open suburbs where Black people couldn't get the same rate or the permission of the HOA to move in...

Highland park...we have two small cities that are surrounded by detroit
Hammtramack (polish community)
And highland park, which is black
Hp is so shytty tho, they barely have resources for the city, and its a shame too cause the houses there are huge, I mean huge...but they're run down as hell
Yeah. I guess I never put much thought into it as something abnormal but it IS almost a novelty seeing white people IN a lot of Detroit neighborhoods. If I see any WALKING around MY neighborhood, I'm like
"That's unusual."Think that script/story is based on a place in Minnesota but a lot of the movies is shot in Highland Park, Michigan...which is basically a suburb IN Detroit. Like, it's a small city that's actually surrounded by Detroit and it's pretty run-down and heavily-populated with blacks.

Tell it. EVERYONE lived in the inner city together at one point. The FHA gave subsidized loans to a lot of whites back then to move out of the city and into the suburbs - which at the time were a new concept. Susbidized is the key word here because whites and blacks were on a level playing field economically back then. These new suburbs started all white and were kept white through various reasons like, community ordinances, coventants amongst the homeowners & banks, block busting by the real estate developers and agents, redlining, or just by outright racism, violence and threats if a family attempted to move in. A lot of these cities, like Grosse Pointe, Warren, Royal Oak, Dearborn were Sundown Towns which deliberately kept blacks and other people of color out of these communities or allowed them to be there - only until sundown - or face fatal consequences. Most of them had signs which said "No N!ggers"
or a siren would go off alerting it was time for "you" to go. They had better schooling, no crime, no drugs, more jobs - all the "bad sh!" was pushed to the inner city.Back then, the easy way to weath was real estate and ownership. You could pass that down from generation to generation and your kids could eat off that. Them houses they own up north in Northen Michigan are worth millions now. It's hard to be a stable family economically when you live in low income housing. What you see now happening in Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, is the residue of these actions which happened decades ago (plus slavery, no voting/civil rights, poor education, poor economy, crack in the 80's, AIDS, the prison industrial complex) It aint by accident.
Straight to jail...I cross 8mile one time n went to jail for 45days for 2 bags of weed.if I was n Detroit they would have threw my weed away n kept it moving. I stay across 8mile now but I'm so close all I got to do is cross the street n I'm back n the city
Highland park is grimey as fukk...no cops..period.
but the most BOUT IT strip club I ever been to

^^^^ Tell him to ride thru Rochester or Utica and see what happens lol That's if they even get that far north. lol
Um...no.
In hoods like Woodbridge, Cass and Brightmoor alone the general population and the white population has risen. White Folks got hit by the recession just as much as everyone else...living in the burbs isn't cost effective for alot of younger people.
Infrastructure is cool to pay for when you have 6 figure job, family and kids but if you live alone, driving a few miles aint gon kill you. BUT with that new Whole Foods that's about to be in midtown, the Meijer's on State Fair grounds and the other one on Grand River and 6 Mile the jobs are coming back. Not to mention the places to purchase WITHIN the city. The problem is that the powers that be and the LEGISLATORS been holding up alot of things that coulda helped the city only because it wasn't "black" or it wasn't a part of their crew.
Is it safe to say from your post that desegregation is one of the worst things that happened to black folks?
