10 Things You Need to Understand About How Poor Black Neighborhoods Were Created

Uh, some of these are seriously appalling moments from our history – and some are still happening today.

Even with the complete abolition of slavery, Black people were not given the full benefits of citizenship or personhood in Northern states. Many Northern white abolitionists didn’t advocate for full integration or equity for Black people.

The legacy of slavery continued through segregationist, discriminatory laws that were seeped in anti-Blackness. Even European immigrants, such as the Irish or Italian, actively benefited from anti-Black racism.

Professor Margaret Washington has explained, “So it would seem as though the nation itself had an attitude that African Americans were inferior…. The whole idea of Jim Crow and segregation of the races really originates in the North.”

This isn’t to say that Black-only neighborhood have only grown out of segregationist laws. Many were actively created as safe spaces where communities could thrive and succeed.

However, it’s important to understand the history of how Black neighborhoods had to be created, because of systemic violence, segregationist laws, and discriminatory practices.

And the creations of these neighborhoods weren’t limited to the South. Northern anti-Blackness was just as prominent, if maybe more covert. These attitudes and policies also have continued well into the 21st century.

Katelan is pure magic 🌙✨ Looking forward to this ritual ✨ Posted @withregram • @katelanfoisy Just got back from the farmers market with all sorts of fresh beauties for the MAGNIFICENT CLARITY ritual Sept 20. Just two days away and right on the full moon, close to the Equinox and giving us focus for the upcoming Mercury Rx. MAGNIFICENT CLARITY RITUAL SERVICE - Sept 20 Magnifying clarity around your magnificence and how to put it to good use. The month of September will have us thinking about our place in the world and how we go about interacting within our personal, spiritual, and societal relationships. The full moon right before the Equinox and Mercury retrograde will have us going deep into purpose and using our imaginations to think outside the box on how to best magnify our life's purpose and joy. This will be a time of wading through intrusive thoughts and emotion to gain massive clarity on the “How to’s” and plans we make to break through any unwanted cycles. This is a time where we’ll be working through any illusion or even delusions we have about ourselves and others. It will also be a time of looking deeply at projections and what distractions may be keeping us from our greatness. The Harvest Full Moon in Pisces falls on Sept 20th this year and I will be offering a community ritual focusing on Frequency boosting, healing, and clarity. The ritual will be performed on the full moon with the focus on blockbusting.

I guess Blockbuster Video totally reclaimed "blockbust*" from "act as agent in a shift in the character of a residential neighborhood from middle class single-family white to (denser, subdivided, poorer) black, a 'filtering' process that had once been typical but 30-year mortgage standards and zoning had been specifically crafted to prevent; a process which might be profitable for brokers but could represent a substantial decline in quality of life a/o net worth for existing residents; implicitly as a Jewish realtor ignoring the professional practices developed to restrain individual gain in favor of collective or community gain, as even as 'white ethnic' folds into 'white' you don't appreciate or respect what you're inheriting or see yourself as part of those collectives and communities"
