  • Racial Residential Segregation

    745 Words  | 3 Pages

    They argue that institutional racism in the housing market enacted by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), private loan and real estate institutions and actors, and white residents effectively and permanently isolated African Americans. Institutionalized racist practices of the housing market such as redlining and steering, coupled with white flight and structural disinvestment in African American neighborhoods, effectively isolated African Americans and further contributed to the creation of black ghettos. Thus, residential segregation concentrates poverty, erodes institutional and economic support, and ultimately causes its residents to normalize their problematic social environment of high levels of joblessness, teenage pregnancy, drugs, and violence. If the segregation of African Americans were to be resolved by their economic achievement and class mobility, middle-class African Americans should be able to enter white neighborhoods of comparable income levels. However, as Massey and Denton show, once the threshold of “too many black families” is crossed, white flight occurs and poorer black families move into the neighborhood, creating (and expanding) racially segregated

    The major thesis in this book, are broken down into two components. The first is how we define racism, and the impact that definition has on how we see and understand racism. Dr. Beverly Tatum chooses to use the definition given by “David Wellman that defines racism as a system of advantages based on race” (1470).

  • Tyna Steptoe's Houston Bound

    542 Words  | 3 Pages

    Tyna L. Steptoe’s book, Houston Bound: Culture and Color in a Jim Crow City explores the significance of Wheatley High School, a public secondary school located in the heart of Fifth Ward, Houston, Texas, established in the 1930s to serve black and Creole students during the Jim Crow era. Despite being segregated, the students at Wheatley did not let this hold them down and instead made the best of the situation by getting heavily involved in their school. Wheatley High School gave their black and creole students tools for advancement and helped strengthen their cultural identity and in a historic period in which racial discrimination attempted to curtail their political and economic potential. In this Jim Crow era, the institutions of the city were divided by the racial categories of white and black, which would force everyone into one or the other category, even if they did not necessarily associate themselves with it. Accordingly, racially ambiguous people would either receive the benefits that accompanied the white label or the grim treatment that accompanied the black label.

  • History Of Racism In Southern Virginia

    227 Words  | 1 Pages

    3. Living in southern Virginia, there is an obvious separation between races that relates to the socioeconomics in the south. I live in an urban community and it is clear that the impoverished areas are mostly African American and the wealthier areas are white, however, this is not only a problem here in Virginia but across the entire south. Furthermore, this issue is caused by the enslavement and segregation of African Americans throughout American history that places them at a disadvantage at birth even before they can take control of their own life. Therefore, the history of racism in the south still affects minorities, even today, and it causes an endless cycle of minorities being at a shortcoming, not only socially, but economically where

  • Legacy Of Redlining Essay

    2511 Words  | 11 Pages

    The Legacy of Redlining: Examining the Lingering Impact on Communities of Color Redlining is the insidious practice that drew a color line around neighborhoods, literally trapping generations of Americans of color in neighborhoods defined by disinvestment, segregation, and poverty. By limiting their access to quality housing, financial services, educational resources, and job opportunities, it perpetuates a cycle of poverty that is difficult to break free from. This form of systemic racism serves as a constant reminder of the inequality embedded in our society, which blocks individuals from achieving their true potential, affecting not only individuals, but entire communities. Redlining can specifically target young people of color because

  • Personal Narrative: My Pursuit Of American Dream

    468 Words  | 2 Pages

    My identity has always felt inextricably linked to what Miami is. A city that is teeming with immigrants, a city with dreams stacked and slopped atop each other, and a city that is living proof of the failed American dream. I say so because of my early observation that generation after generation of immigrants often seemed to stay trapped in dead end jobs; I saw this within my own family – within my grandmother, my aunts and uncles, and even my cousins. Here it was even within my own family tree the deep implicit message that there was no way out of our socioeconomic level. When I made it into an Ivy League college, it was a message that was slowly re-enforced by the fact that my demographic was the most represented in the custodial staff rather than within my own classmates.

  • Gentrification All Bad Justin Davidson Analysis

    On a normal scale, measuring the association between two subjects, one would assume gentrification and school segregation are not related in any sense. In fact, most would argue that school segregation ended in 1954 with the Brown v. Board of Education. This assumption would be incorrect. Deep within the American society lies a new kind of segregation that is neither talked about nor dealt with. Segregation is a result of gentrification—the buying and renovation of houses in deteriorated neighborhoods by upper-income families or individuals—thus, improving property values but often displacing low-income families.

  • The Hate U Give Sociology

    In the reading, Fences, and Neighbors: Segregation in the 21st-century America it is stated, “...segregation restricts access to jobs and to quality schools by concentrating African Americans and Hispanics in central cities, when job growth and better schools are found in the Suburbs” (Farley & Squires, 2005). This statement resonates with Starr’s situation as she had to seek different schools for a better education that was not accessible to her from her poor neighborhood. Additionally, Starr’s housing/school situations demonstrate other less represented consequences from housing segregation such as Starr having difficulty with her black identity, she can’t be a teen from Garden Heights at her new school, Williamson, and can’t act like a Williamson at Garden Heights this concept only causes Starr to distance herself from others at the party and causes her to ponder her

  • Essay On Housing Discrimination

    1517 Words  | 7 Pages

    Public Policy on Housing Discrimination Executive Summary Housing discrimination and segregation have long been present in the American society (Lamb and Wilk). The ideals of public housing and home buying have always been intertwined with the social and political transformation of America, especially in terms of segregation and inequality of capital and race (Wyly, Ponder and Nettking). Nevertheless, the recent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri and in Baltimore due to alleged police misconduct resulting to deaths of black men brought light on the impoverished conditions in urban counties in America (Lemons). This brings questions to the effectiveness of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in devising more fair-housing facilities (Jost).
