This happened in most cities.


Another great example

Expressways used mostly to go through poor or ethnic areas

How did they do it? Did they raise housing and force blacks out?

where did the black people in those areas go?

No not at all. Back then they would literally plan a project and boot you out. Eminent Domain pretty much.


You should read a book named “The Power Broker” about Robert Moses and how did this throughout a lot of NYC.

Every thing done to us is by design that’s why I hate ignorant c00ns with a passion for not understanding this shyt, and pushing the boot strap mentality

I even heard they made bridges to low for city buses to go under so black folks couldn’t venture out of the city limits
