Bloomberg: Fingerprint All Public Housing Residents...

[FreshABM]

I moved when I was 17 homie lol But then I came back for about 3 years to live with mom dukes cause she was having some health issues.

Black pride? Let u tell it, my grand dad made me read, memorize, and recite books about African/black history when I was a little girl. I hope the situation'll change, but I'm in no position to help, shyt I need help my damn self. And the mans always tryna keep us down. Something's gotta give tho.

You're always in position to help..even the small things count...and who doesn't need some.damn help

I got you tho..hopefully things gets better

Blacks and Hispanic should want to leave NYC. We all know something major is going to happen there sooner or later. You see what happened during Hurricane Sandy. The majority of Black/Hispanic neighborhoods was fine, and the CACs caught hell. Now what does that tell you?

Is that a fact???..and what would that tell us??

 

[the cac mamba]

this is such a terrible fukkin idea

I don't why blacks and latinos are doing in NYC still, That place in no better race relations wise than any other city in America, add to that its expensive to live there and decent paying jobs are scarce for us.

I agree...Public housing was used to keep poor black people confined to an area of town and at bay. It was the new segregation that occurred in the 1970s. Some public housing acts and reforms were made around that time because of this. They had a decision to make, either begin to provide black men with jobs so they can provide for their families which means they would eventually integrate into better homes where whites live or find a way to pacify the black community and keep them from being upwardly mobile. There is no return on investment on public housing for the black community. It is the same reason why the government and private companies can easily demolish public housing units and projects to gentrify for white elites and their hipster children. Because black people are NOT the owners, There is no generational wealth that is past down from living in a public housing unit. The government is now using this opportunity to move poor people out so they can create a tax revenue base that will fatten their pockets. On the side note, if public housing was not created many blacks would be living in American versions of shanty towns and favelas considering the last of economic opportunities we face as a people.

sohh when they tore down the towers(projects) in Chicago, did the tenants at least receive some sort of payout ( @YouMadd? @beaniemac ).

How did that "mass" transition from the inner city to the "suburbs" work....

you know how much it was? I'm saying they could have essentially started a new life, with the right amount of capital...

its whatever section 8 vouchers are worth, its just a voucher to pay your rent, section 8 is another horrible government program that is suppose to help but actually creates generational poverty

what people need to do is move where its cheap to live and cheap to buy, that means the south and the midwest

i made thread about the black dude that ran the public housing in NYC http://www.thecoli.com/threads/simeon-golar-who-fought-for-public-housing-dies-at-84.138499/ this story is interesting because you can see exactly how it went down when black leaders got convinced/bamboozled into thinking that public housing and integration was the key to black prosperity

about shanty towns and favelas, i think you have to break down why shanty towns and favelas are bad, its the same reasons that public housing is bad, there is no property ownership, so the residents do not accumulate capital

i dont really knock shanty towns and favelas, even if its filled with poor people, if its organized properly using capitalism and the rule of law they can become engines of prosperity, but people have to be able to own where they live

This is getting out of control. What is next? Putting an RFID chip underneath their skin?

I have no idea actually. I doubt they paid them to move from one subsidized housing to another. especially since they were getting upgraded due to moving out the projects.
