I found this a very interesting and logical piece. comments? From the 1930s onward, white people moved into new houses. Many were in new suburbs like Levittown, N.Y. Black people got public housing apartments in the same center cities where they already lived. Decades later, there's an enormous gap between the grandchildren of one group and the grandchildren of the other.

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Park Forest, Illinois was also w/Levittown as THEE first planned communities in the country. Park Forest is now 60% African-American and only 30% white (last 10% is other). Park Forest was all white @ one time and struggled big time during the Civil Rights Movement w/"the change." Why is Levittown different? Both were New Deal. Edited May 7, 2015 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I regret opening this thread. It is designed for dumb asses like the previous posters (and OP). Carry on though, the entertainment value is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Wow. I never thought I'd see liberals admitting their policies have created the problems they rail against. I'm impressed with the open honesty and introspection here. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 What do you think many people have been saying for a generation? Both the New Deal and Great Society, while very good in spirit accomplished the exact opposite goals they were set out to achieve. Kind of like the feminist movement stomped out porn.

I understand what you are getting @ yet you are looking @ the warts, not the overall picture. We are still leaps and bounds ahead then where we would be. As a whole, we live a lot better life in 2015 than in 1935. I mean, there are the warts, but there is no denying our overall quality (@ the expense of some, isn't that how it always is) of life is way better. You honestly think a more free market would have reached these goals in such a short time (under a 100 years)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azalin Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The New Deal is not in any way responsible for the Baltimore riots. Vandals and anarchists are. Government programs can generate a climate that serve as incubators for such activity, but it comes down to the actions of people when determining responsibility.

Cheers. cheers back...but i know you saw the part about it involving a coalition of segregationist southern dems (known nowadays as sothern republicans) and their more liberal northern counterparts compromising on this issue to make it happen.

Magox Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I think the main problem with poverty overall is mainly due to broken homes. Too many dead beat dads are skipping out on doing the right thing, which obviously creates a void in the child's life and the role models that many of these kids look up to are either losers or music/sports stars that they will most undoubtedly never become. Change the culture, if true dad's begin to step up, poverty will decrease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 no, it's my fault. Because I read to my kids. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/417997/professor-if-you-read-your-kids-youre-unfairly-disadvantaging-others-katherine-timpf I guess by sticking around as a father, I'm also "unfairly disadvantaging" others.

Dante Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Looks like the brain dead state attorney may be in a little trouble herself. I wonder if she would appreciate the same lynch mob mentality if she gets charged for false imprisonment? More third world type incompetence people in charge. To funny. The cherry on top is that she could be sued in a civil case. Awesome. http://dailycaller.com/2015/05/06/claim-task-force-investigating-freddie-gray-death-came-to-different-conclusion-than-states-attorney/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdog1960 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) the ghettos were not an accident. read the article. romney's daddy knew it. he tried to undue the damage. never happened. places like levvitown might have lifted many more up if not for segregationists. yes, it was a long time ago. and roosevelt himself may have felt that the leittowns were meant for white only…but i doubt it.
