(11,243 posts)What I am seeing in my own city and life is that evictions, racist housing policy and lack of public transport contribute hugely to the problem. Poor people get evicted, can't get to jobs, and if they are black, face more difficulty finding new housing, even if they can afford the rent.
Vicious circle. The system is still so gamed, but in subtle ways that are hard to point at.
Do you realize what we could do for the economy of this country if the mainstream could just stop being so stupidly racist? There is HUGE untapped talent out there in poor black communities.
