Glen Ford: Black Urban Displacement

Folks! Go ahead and read this article about how it is an age old conspiracy to displace black people. The key element here is the prime city is Chiraq! At no point in Mr. Ford’s piece does the fact that Chiraq is a massive kill-zone. Unfortunately for black residents. And, maybe, just maybe, the exodus is one of familial self-preservation. A direct result of this dangerous environment. And this same environment has been both perpetuated and ingrained by a complete lack of social participation by this same black community that bitch about Police intervention and the stated need by Mr. Ford to let them police themselves. Pretty ironic isn’t it? And , maybe, the closing of the predominantly black schools may be the direct result of this same black exodus from …. the black neighborhoods. This type of consolidation is going on everywhere. Not just in Chicago.
And as for not doing anything about gun violence is bogus as a $3 bill. Chiraq has some of the strictest gun laws IN THE COUNTRY! Factoid: criminals don’t give a damn about the law! But God forbid some police entity stop a black person and confiscate an illegal gun, ie ..”stop and frisk”, OMG the firestorm of racist police tactics would go off the charts! And the majority would be from the black community. Kinda like damned if you do and damned if you don’t care.
Yes ! Chiraq is a problem. But Mr. Emanuel was obviously elected by someone. And the whole Chiraq syndrome isn’t going to get better until adults, black, white, green, orange, whatever start acting like adults and parents, take some responsibility,get mad and step up to the problem. And quit hiding behind the conspiracy theories and playing the race card at every turn.
I know that if some goombah hurt my family I would be enraged and take it personally! Where is the black outrage for the carnage in Chiraq?
Just one mans’ opinion, mine!

“In less than two decades, Chicago lost 250,000 Black residents, one quarter of its total Black population. That’s more than the Black populations of New Orleans and Atlanta , and equal to the Black population of Manhattan, New York City. And, it’s happening all over the country, because Black removal from the cities is the national policy of both corporate parties.”

The Great, Bloody Black Dispersal from the Cities

The Great, Bloody Black Dispersal from the Cities

The grand plan is to reverse the demography of the Seventies by forcing Blacks out of the central cities and into suburbs and small towns, rendering Black people incapable of ever again launching a national movement headquartered in the urban centers.”

The urban saga of the 1950s, 60s and early 70s was white flight from the cities, fueled by massive public and private investment in the invention of…
