You're kidding me right?

This is a joke right?

White people didn't "create" ghettos. People who were handed things in life and had no respect for themselves and their neighbors created ghettos !!

My Grandfather used to tell me how beautifull areas like Germantown used to be. NOW look at it !! He once told me that people came to Mayfair because it was an up and comming neighborhood. I'd hate to think that it has come and gone.

It was both white and black people who created them.

Never heard of redlining? Home lenders drew red boxes around Philadelphia neighborhoods where banks would refuse underwriting.

Mind you, these areas which were redlined were in MUCH better shape when the practice of redlining began than they are now.

Another tactic used to turnover loans was to capitalize on white peoples' collective fear of black people.

The way this strategy worked is that you take a few homes that are up for sale and broker them to black families at a deep discount. The existing neighbors see "them" move in, and thus they start to bail out of the block and leave the neighborhood, allowing the REALTOR to flip the other homes nearby the starter house where the first few black families moved in to. This was also practiced in several Philadelphia neighborhoods.

I'm not sure which is worse... the REALTOR who capitalized on racial bias, or the people who sold off their homes and fled.

Never heard of it, but it makes you wonder why the practice has stopped.

WHOA - someone actually did this?

I remember back in the day when I was about 22 years old having a conversation with my friends about how we should buy a house that I saw for sale in Hunting Valley and move our black friend Mike into it with his family ( Mike was in on the conversation ). Once everyone in the valley started leaving, we'd buy up what we could, and then Mike would move back to his old house and we'd sell off the houses at a huge profit and split it up between us.

It was just a joke at the time between us all, but I can't eblieve that someone actually did this.

Sorry, but I don't buy that theory you spew....
What about homeowners that died, and the homes eventually sold off?.... are the Realtors to blame now just because some scum moved in to rot the neighborhood?

Frankford used to be a nice clean neighborhood when I grew up there. People were respectable and kept their homes nice. They lived there for decades and eventually died off. The natural process of selling off a home then took place. Being fair in the housing market, the current inhabitants were handed those homes in good condition, then allowed them to deteriorate to ghetto status because they just don't care about anything. They'd rather pick up a crack pipe or a handgun, than pick up a paintbrush.
The gardens they neglected turned into trash-dumps for pizza boxes and beer cartons.

It's all about respect, and being responsible.
So don't go spouting that "whites are responsible for for the ghettos"! Us "whites" did not create the pattern of living that these scummy ghetto people seem to live by. Don't blame us for something we have nothing to do with.

Yeah, people usually FIX up their house to sell it. I doubt they call from the settlement to the operative and say "I just signed the papers, tear it up!"

By the way, YPP noticed the KSS posters lately and started a blog entry yesterday about it.

It was too good to let it go without commenting on it.


Sure enough, I was labeled a racist, a Republican, and also a slumlord by YPP posters before the comments section was shut down.
