Recommended: The advantage and disadvantage of segregation

Shelley v. Kraemer played a pivotal role in abolishing RRCs and opening urban housing to minorities. However, Shelley did very little to influence the patterns of segregation present in most neighborhoods. The idea that racial segregation or racial mixing did not change for people and influence the housing market for long after Shelley (Property Stories: Rose on Shelley v. Kraemer, pp. 218-219). “Legality helped to cement the idea that maintaining property values depended on segregated housing, and that was an idea that did not go away with Shelley.” (Quoted in Rose 56ArizLRevSyl11, pp. 15)
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) FHA that made RRCs an important condition of mortgage insurance continued to enact their policies to segregate white families to new and exclusive suburbs. Even after the courts prohibited explicit racial zoning, FHA believed that African American families threaten home value and their insurability. “the FHA took the position that the presence of African Americans in nearby neighborhoods was nonetheless a consideration that could threaten FHA insurability” (quoted in Making Ferguson, pp. 16). The effects of their actions of racial segregation persists even today in most neighborhoods. (Making Ferguson, pp. 15-17)

Louis is still being influenced by racial segregation due to its history and social norms present in the city. The segregated distribution of African-American or minority population influence the political power, cultural, health, wealth, education, and employment (Race in St. Louis. St Louis Magazine, pp. 1-2). Ferguson also face the same pressure of facing certain social and cultural norms associated with racial segregation because it still exists in these cities. Moreover, racial segregation and the impact of RRCs still continue to affect the educational opportunities of today’s Mexican-American community in San Antonio (Educational Legacy, pp.

Overall, the federal government was never really hands on in housing, that changed in the 1930’s when the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was created to be apart of the New Deal. After the Great Depression, the FHA sought to rebuild the housing market by introducing the mortgage lending system, that is still used today. The FHA actually did quite the opposite, “instead, the FHA adopted a racial policy”, that took advantage of racial covenants and insisted properties that were insured by them to use those covenants. The FHA introduced redlining policies in many American cities and with the Home Owners Loan Coalition (HOLC), a federally-funded program created to help homeowners refinance their mortgages, it seemed that it would never end.

we still have today and which someone knowledgeable on the situation would call “ghettoization” (Jackson). Massey and Denton’s book, American Apartheid: Segregation and the Making of the Underclass, hits strong on this topic of “residential segregation”. Massey and Denton, both went hand and hand with what Jackson was saying. This is a well organized, well-written and greatly researched book.

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.

In 1952, some residents of a neighborhood in San Francisco were victorious in keeping the neighborhood 100 percent white. A former Chinese Nationalist was trying to move his family in, but the residents did not want them. One of the many reasons was because of their presence, it would depress property values. However, all of the reasons added up to the fact that the family was Chinese(document 6). An argument is made that whites and minorities did things together.

As suburban Americans began to own the same consumer goods and believe in the same values, the prospect of inclusive thought began to disappear. The aesthetic homogeneity with men’s clothing, for example, left very little room for men to dress up in anything other than the bland suits characteristic of the 1950s. Among the varying forms of homogeneity present in the suburbs, none had the effect on conservatism that racial homogeneity did. From the 1950s until “the 1990s, nearly 90 percent of suburban whites lived in communities with minority populations of less than 1 percent,” showing how the suburbs created conservative thought that would last nearly half a century in the suburbs. In order to achieve this racial ubiquity, “the suburban builders…openly advertised the fact that their communities excluded minorities,” revealing their conservative and racist beliefs William Levitt, the father of the suburbs, argued that “if we sell one house to a Negro family, then 90 or 95 percent of our white customers will not buy into the community,” further showing how minorities were feared to be a threat in a white society These racialized advertisements and thoughts encapsulated the attention of their audiences by reinforcing the idea of minorities (primarily African-Americans) being a threat to security, which dates back to the 17th Century with the institution of slavery.

The relationship between society and the law is direct, and housing in America is a conclusive example of that. As argued by both authors, once society has made up its mind about a certain group of people or place such as the ghettos, even the law can’t change those facts. It often happens that people of color and minorities get overlooked and stereotyped into something that they are not due to the hierarchical and discriminatory principles of the law. It has been engrained into society to think that minorities are poor, lazy, and overall less productive in the public

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.

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

Professor Khalil Girban Muhammad gave an understanding of the separate and combined influences that African Americans and Whites had in making of present day urban America. Muhammad’s lecture was awakening, informative and true, he was extremely objective and analytical in his ability to scan back and forth across the broad array of positive and negative influences. Muhammad described all the many factors during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries since the abolition of slavery and also gave many examples of how blackness was condemned in American society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Professor Muhammad was able to display how on one hand, initial limitations made blacks seem inferior, and various forms of white prejudice made things worse. But on the other hand, when given the same education and opportunities, there are no differences between black and white achievements and positive contributions to society.

However in the 1920’s, rates of African Americans who completed high school and moved on to receive a college diploma began to increase (Juergensen).

African Americans have systematically been deprived of equal opportunities and fundamental rights in America since the establishment of slavery. Although the Civil Rights Act banned the implementation of segregation and racial inequality over 40 years ago, the overall concept of racial and cultural hierarchy still lingers at the forefront of today’s society. White America’s history of racially oppressing, isolating, and segregating African Americans have led to present-day issues surrounding the political and economic forces that intentionally limits Blacks access to and opportunity from social, economic, educational, and political advancement through the institution of structural racism. Structural racism within America’s governments and

Lance Freeman, an associate professor of urban planning in Columbia, wanted to investigate if there was any displacement going on in two predominantly black neighborhoods that was briskly gentrifying. Much to his dismay, he couldn’t find any correlation between gentrification and displacement. What was surprising to Freeman was his discovery, “poor residents and those without a college education were actually less likely to move if they resided in gentrifying neighborhoods”. (Sternbergh, 19) Freeman adds, “The discourse on gentrification, has tended to overlook the possibility that some of the neighborhood changes associated with gentrification might be appreciated by the prior residents.” (Sternbergh, 19)
