Why black neighborhoods have high unemployment By Harry C. Alford, NNPA Columnist June 25, 2007 Despite what many bigots and ignorant minds would like to think, Black neighborhoods are blighted for a reason other than a biological one. The reason or reasons are calculated schemes by sinister and greedy minds that conspire to exploit naïve entities to quench their thirst of money and power. For every exploited Black family or household there are these conspirators profiting and solidifying their grip on a disparity that benefits them at the cost of others. We learned this early in forming the National Black Chamber of Commerce in Indianapolis. Prompted by a complaint from a local Black contracting group we began to investigate a particular Community Development Corporation, CDC, in a particular all Black neighborhood. This CDC was managed by Whites who did not live in the neighborhood. They were adding new homes into the community but were blocking Black contractors who lived in this neighborhood from working. We learned that they were building homes for three times the actual costs. Why would they accept such high bids? They could retail them at that price and that would cause the existing homes to increase in comparable price. Property taxes and rents were beginning to skyrocket and, thus, forcing existing residents to flee or be forced out. The beginning of "gentrification" was forming in another Black community. White Yuppies were beginning to arrive and bust up a stable historical Black community. It was time to go on the offensive. We teamed with the Concerned Clergy and demanded the board of directors of this CDC be solely made up of long time residents of the neighborhood it was serving. All contractors working there would be local residents. Any workers with cars having license plates not from that or neighboring communities would be subject to tire slashing and sugar in the gas tanks. Appraisers and realtors were warned not to consider the latest home prices as they were instruments of price fixing and gouging. Home prices would be monitored and the residents will appreciate their properties consistent with normal markets. We saved this neighborhood and created vast employment for the local residents. What are your local CDC's doing? Housing Authorities are authorized to train and hire public housing residents for 30 percent of the jobs created through HUD monies. This is Section 3 of the HUD Act which became law in 1968. The problem is no more than 10 percent of cities and housing authorities offer this. They want the residents to remain poor and unemployed so that their little futures are guaranteed. You can't service poverty if there is no poverty. Please consider your local Housing Authority corrupt and noncompliant with Section 3. Section 3 complaints are supposed to be resolved in 6 months. Our complaint against the City of Jacksonville has been kicked around for 12 years and counting. It is probably going to take civil disobedience to get the City to move. Remember it was the Watts Riot that caused Section 3 to get on the books. Banks in DC were touting their Community Reinvestment Act, CRA, activity by offering 2-3 percent mortgages to first time home owners in the Shaw District. The only problem was that the first time home owners were Yuppies making 150-200 hundred thousand dollars per year and they were buying new homes and converted condos at exaggerated prices the locals could not afford. Today, the Shaw District is about completely gentrified with the old established Black families pushed out. At the same time, the Washington Housing Authority has been offering section 8 rental vouchers to residents so long as they leave Washington, DC. Some have been displaced as far as Hagerstown, 70 miles away. I understand that Chicago has been transplanting people as far as Danville, IL hundreds of miles from the south side of Chicago. A CDC in downtown Indianapolis built the Madame CJ Walker building with a grant from the US Department of Health and Human Services. The grant was to provide full time employment to people living on welfare and under the poverty level. The building ended up providing low rent for the Indiana University School of Optometry and a large law firm friendly to the Governor. Not one job went to anyone living under the poverty level. I asked the federal government for a copy of the grant specifications and application from that CDC. I pressed and pressed and eventually they proclaimed "The file is lost. We cannot give it to you because we don't know where it is". Yes, they were in on the scheme too. These are just a few of the games played on us. They are harmful and, in fact, lethal in more ways than one. If we had jobs there would be no need to sell crack and rip off. As long as they block us, high unemployment will continue. Let's begin to fight it. Harry Alford is the co-founder, President/CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. Website: .>http://www.nationalbcc.org.

Good information - thanks. HUD scams are legion.
But for the grace of god my neighborhood hasn't gone section 8.
Q: What did the homeless Jew's cardboard sign say? I watched over a period of about six years as Guatemalans were the only people building "public" hundred million $$$ series of 7-12 story buildings plus surrounds. The lead companies were two international construction companies that I knew had started in the 50s and then sprouted with the interstates then branched out to saudi Arabia et al as Intl Construction boomed in the 70s and 80s. One day I saw the VP of outside contracting at a cafeteria and joined him for lunch. I had known him for about 5 years. I asked about the Guatemalans and told him I knew how much money they made - $18 minimum for laborers to $35 per hour for "supervisors", really a gang boss. The Guatemalans had also told me they had free food , board, clothing, medical and transportation PLUS paid no taxes whatsoever. I asked the VP what was going on since there were hundreds of black men totally unemployed or unwilling to work for $5 and hour taxed 1-6 blocks away. (Welfare and "baby-gittin' is far better but $18 an hour is another story entirely!!!) The VP shook his head and said, " It's the damndest thing I have ever seen in my 35 years in this role. All you say is completely true and more. The salaries are subsidized for the Guatemalans via an agreement through NAFTA for Guatemalan support. No locals are allowed to be hired. The projects will continue for the next 20 years , long after I am gone. The rate for some Guatemalans, no engineering, just a crew boss of laborers is up to $55 an hour with overtime extra. In addition, the contractor is not only paid whatever he pays out at this exorbitant wage scale, but he gets a flat 15% of the total payroll in addition. These Guatemalans should be able to retire for life after this job, but the black men from Cherry Avenue are not even allowed to be on the payroll. It is Guatemalans only." I wonder how many of these billion dollar deals are across the country? Sheesh, no wonder our people are starving and being pushed to suck the federal teat.
HUD scams are legion. Join the Ron Paul Revolution lodwick The Mall in Danville VA, sported by two of the richest in VA was built , according to the billboard sign on premises, "This Project Was Built With Housing and Urban Development Funds". A for profit Mall by zillionaires? sheesh !
I don't know why, but it struck me as funny that someone came up with a strategy for reverse block-busting.
that's incredible info & I believe you.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
that's incredible info & I believe you. Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Red Jones Curiosity question; "Why?" and thank you.
why do I believe you? Because that is the way things are. You said it was a NAFTA provision that allowed it to happen. I've read of similar policies that actually favor foreigners working here in the US over Americans. H1-b is sucha policy. and there are other special visa programs that also make it advantageous for employers to hire foreigners to work here in the US over Americans. they rig the rules to grease this stuff going on. tax policy, visa policy, etc. and then on tv they tell us loudly that Americans don't want to work.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
I hope that those of you looking at this info understand that what you are reading is the underlying reason for the street gangs that are running in all of the major cities of the US now. When you cut people off from hope, there is going to be a reaction. And that is exactly what was done to these people; they were cut off from all hope or any kind of a future. Nothing in this story surprises me, because I have read similiar pieces, with less detail, from the Nation of Islam and other organizations that have been saying for many, many decades that this kind of stuff is going on. Of course, not the street gangs exist, and the CIA and other Marxist/Jewish groups are feeding them and turning them to their own uses. That, also, is not surprising.
The Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
that is so true. America's cities are like that. and I got news for you - the disease is spreading, in rural areas they've been hit bad too. even in suburbia opportunities for Americans are down. We're a people that have in reality been attacked & sabotaged by our own leaders. and the whole world is hating us for what our leaders have done to them as well.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Yes, indeed. The chickens are coming home to roost. We are the ones who let it happen, who continued to volunteer, and pay our taxes while sipping beer and eating pizza in front of the tele. I think that Bible speaks of what happens to a people when they do not take their responsibilities seriously.
The Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Man. That's just about the worst that I've ever read. It's time to start all over.
I have a Section 3 program in place and actively solicit involvement from residents with little to no participation. I have hired qualified residents and continue to do so at every opportunity. +++++++++++++++++ Notice the "little to no participation." This housing bullshiite, EXCEPT for the elderly, and the disabled should immediately be discarded. HUD spends three times as much on the administration of its programs than it spends on its "clients." (Like most all fedgov programs.)
I'm working with a group that's doing something similar. a neighborhood council was formed, everyone in the neighborhood is a member, and everything has to go through them. they are really improving their neighborhood, and it's great to see it happening! they have actually turned down hud funding and habitat for humanity, because both groups require too much control over projects. so it's slow-going - we're talking about a 9 or so block area and they've been working on it for about 8 years, but all the steps, small as they are, are in a forward direction. to clarify, I don't live in this neighborhood, but I do real estate title work - my contribution is free title searches. I have no desire to exert any control or participate in decision making. that is what ruins efforts like these - people who see a buck to be made. that isn't the point. my hope would be that as this area develops, those on the outskirts would want to get involved and expand the area. it can only be good for the area involved and the city as a whole. other parts of this city have been targeted by the government for beautification and development, and it's exactly as the article says. yuppies with good jobs take all the government $$ and the poor are forced out, many to live on the streets. the plan where the actual residents of the neighborhood have control is slower, more painful financially and teeters on the brink of failure all the time, but in the end I think it's the way to go. a beautiful neighborhood built on the suffering of the poor is something less than beautiful in the long run.
Yes Yes Yes. People with no hope will go to the dark side and cause much more grief and mayhem than if an apple were thrown their way. I look at the young desparados coming into our liquor store and have to wonder where did all the money ($5200/year) for high school go for these guys to have almost no clue as to how to function and get ahead in society. Most of em have nothing culturally or otherwise . Some of them kinda know it, seems to me. A bit humble, willing to learn. They will do well, I think, as they can learn to strive for a higher life. Some are lost and like it. They scare me really, cause they will point a gun at you and not consider the consequences.
"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men" Plato
I know a man who has 3 high speed food packaging plants here and he used to employ local blacks, but he found that they'd all but take Friday afternoons off to drink, fight and grabass in the plants and many wouldn't return to work after a payday until they were broke again. Compare that to a job site with 3rd world laborers, and the beehive activity is shocking compared to the slow pace set by black workers. And, every time a worker has a dispute with management he cries "racism" and this nize, Jooish man I know particularly resented that. So now he brings a van load of Asian immigrants down from Philadelphia each morning and he has no problems with his laborers at all. When Frederick Douglass stopped here in Wilm, DE to speak to The Monday Club (a club of black domestic workers most of whom had Monday as their day off) after the Civil War, he was on a nationwide speaking tour to uplift blacks. But, after he arrived he was briefed on the local customs and he spent most of his speech chastising blacks for failing to return to work until all of their money was spent! So, blacks aren't the victims of anything but their own sleep-till-noon sloth, and skill at avoiding meaningful labor.
HOUNDDAWG I agree with all you say....and remind you it is in the interest of the Agenda-Drivers to do whatever is necessary to keep the Blacks Wailing as Surrogate Victims...part of The Plan. I also do not doubt your friend puts aside his public concern for his private profit. His friends and he also have called them schwartzers for decades...i.e. yiddish for nigger....but only in private....the publioc face is different. I also think and have witnessed you can get white young people to work their asses off if you give them the chance and do not suffocate them with illegals and knife-wielding belly slitters ! I worked high steel as a youth in the summer! with the big boys but one-third their wage. I have youth from 19-25 work for me 24/7 Whatever is Necessary !! They come in at midnight after having left at 7PM and stay until 3AM and are back at 7AM....however many days it takes !! Illegal aliens is NOT the answer....it is the same old self-serving quick fix and cultural and economic genocide....as per Plan. All they ask is the opportunity! and some leadership and motivation. I pay from $8 - $12 / hr....NO OT....for this.
Very good. And those high steel workers deserve every dime they get.
BTW, I worked for a minority-owned electrical contracting company once and the owner charged more than every other contractor. He also wrote letters to the editor explaining why the "constitution guaranteed him a percentage of govt contracts at whatever price he wanted to charge" shortly before the govt abolished set asides. He went under as soon as that happened. Now I wonder, why is that? His electricians (including me) were as good as any (mostly white) but he couldn't compete on level ground with every other company. He wanted folks to believe that no one would hire him because it was minority owned but that simply wasn't true. His bids were passed over because he bid too high. Had he been competitive he'd have gotten his share of work, and if he hadn't trumpeted his minority status no one would have known or cared! So, once he lost his "endangered species protection" in the form of set asides he just gave up. And that is the problem. Even enterprising blacks want special treatment because they cannot embrace the idea that racism didn't cripple them but that their own self pity did and does. They want to swim in competitions but with govt-supplied water wings in case they get tired from all "the racism" surrounding them....
LOL That they do! I look at the cranes today and realize I would routinely put my boot in the loop and signal UP...with no safety devices whatsoever! Damn good thing we are young and stupid at the same time !

I get dizzy thinking about that hoist in a loop! And, if I looked down I'd be dead before my body broke into bloody chunx all over the deck below!
LOL There are MILLIONS of sweetheart set asides ...at ALL levels!! Look at any state procurement policy....price is not a factor ! 2-3 times market is not a factor !!
Thank you.
That is funny in a way... I have a south african , cream of the crop, he does little in two years and the joke is " Where is _____?" He doesn't even show up, but is trying to get his wife pregnant on their fourth to have a US baby to stay here and live the cushy life as a "minority", which has so abundantly been shown him!. Where are the white kids getting these perks and preferences and shove to the front of the line PLUS $$$ ?
Great analogy and visual.
Look at any state procurement policy....price is not a factor ! 2-3 times market is not a factor !! Right. This black company owner would have us believe that his color was an absolute bar to his securing a share of contracts and my experience tells me different. If he played the game he'd find that the others' fave color was green and his color didn't matter one bit. They may not sit in lodge with him but they'd be happy to do business with him if he provided quality services in a timely manner at competitive prices.
Please post this for me, I am on the way late in traffic, ....SOMEHOW....ALERT NOW !! 18 MINUTES !! Senate Amnesty Vote starts 10:00 AM Just got off the phone with Dole's and Burr's offices re S1639 cloture vote. Dole is voting against cloture. Good! Can't get through to Burr's office in DC. Get busy signal or "system is busy" message. That's good, too! Called Burr's Winston-Salem office. I jokingly mentioned that his phone may be off the hook in DC. They said it wasn't, that he was getting overloaded with phone calls. They would not tell his intended vote. Burn up the phone lines!
Where are the white kids getting these perks and preferences and shove to the front of the line PLUS $$$ ? The preferential treatment should be reserved for the white Afrikaners who'd be a welcome addition to our gene pool. The last thing we need is more of the black African strain, and we have the crime and illegitimate births to prove it.
doesn't have to be quality or competitive... just have the gumption to fill out the paper work... or give your community rep a cut and have their office fill it out for you. I am not kidding.... just have to be barely breathing.
just have the gumption to fill out the paper work... or give your community rep a cut and have their office fill it out for you. I am not kidding.... just have to be barely breathing. Lemme share one moment of poetic justice with ya: An Indian I know, a wealthy Brahman philanthropist here not only set up minority-only scholarships-whites need not apply at U of D until the SCOTUS nixed them as discriminatory, but he's done much to boost the downtrodden blacks in America. He tried to set up a half way house in a black woman's WILM district and she wouldn't even meet with him a second time and he couldn't understand why. We had to explain to him that he hadn't shaved any of his own grant money for her coffers, and if she had to tell him that then he was white as far as she was concerned. When I asked why he didn't go back to India and abolish the caste system he said "Oh, you can't rush those things!" (I mean, who has it worse, downtrodden American blacks or Indian untouchables?) But in America it's "Justice NOW! No justice no peace!" and he's all for that in-our-white-faces activism! This man was appointed to the state ACLU BOD by our governor and he's anti gun, too. When I mentioned that India and Pakistan have nukes aimed at each other and bad tempers, and that we'd be better served by disarming those two hot headed religious zealot nations, he didn't want to discuss unilateral personal disarmament of Americans anymore.
The fix is in JC. It has been all along.
In this discussion, all of you are missing what is actually going on/has been going on, which is Economics. Simply put, so that anyone can understand it, economics is warfare at the most base level. It is also the only real reason for warfare, once all of the non-sense is taken away. What is happening to America is not an accident; not any particular of what is happening has occurred accidently. It has all been planned, and very carefully carried out over many, many years. And this includes the concentration of the poor in the inner cities where they could be milked and exploited. How? By two devices: the institution known as welfare, and, by the destruction of the only outlet such people have in a nation; the removal of subsistence farming from America. Any nation is made up of many, many different parts. But of all of those parts, the ability to feed itself is the most important, in two ways. First, just being able to feed the population of a nation is a big job, and, I am sure everyone will agree, rather important. Second, many of the poorest people of all nations live on farms, very small farms, where they not only provide food for themselves, but make up a major portion of the non-city population. When these people are forced off of those farms by deliberate actions of the government, the only place for them to go is into the city, where they provide cheap labor for the corporations. However, there is seldom enough work for all of them (which keeps pressure downward on wages), and, simply put, not all of them do well at such jobs. Enter welfare, which not only locked them into the city once they got there, but was set up in such a way that it destroyed their family connections. The end result of that was predictable, and predicted; hard core unemployed, riots, discontent, and, eventually, street gangs. Prior to the government attacking farming, there were slums in the major cities, but nothing like what exists now. In addition, those in those slums did not have the 'opportunities' to make money selling drugs that they do now. Nor, to accumulate money as they do now, with drugs. It is not an accident that all of these forces were brought into play at about the same time; making certain drugs illegal, attacking the family farm (America has lost 25 million family farms since these programs started), and welfare. (There was also Prohibition, but while that certainly gave a jump start to the criminal elements in America, it was aimed more at the destruction of the competition against gasoline from burning privately grown and made alcohol in cars and trucks.) Many of the people who have left the farm and came to the city were white, yes, but a large percentage of them were the poor blacks who had survived for generations on their small farms. There were poorly educated, and poorly equiped to compete in the cities. If you are having trouble understanding what I mean, the same thing is just now being done in Mèxico, and America is on the receiving end of the migration of those people newly forced off of their land in rural Mèxico. These people were/are the poorest of the poor and the least educated in Mèxico. But here, in America, when they were forced off of the land, they had nowhere to migrate to, except into the cities. If you do not understand what I am speaking of, remember these three words; thesis, antithesis, and syntesis. You can also look up the post of that name for further study. The programs that were instituted back in the 20s and 30s were designed to tear America down and rebuild it into a different image, without the people understanding what was going on. And everything that is being posted in 4um right now is simply info to digest to see how it is being done. For further understanding; The 'abolition of racial exclusiveness,' which has (also) been official U.S. Government policy since 1945, was, quite simply, the Jewish Marxist goal of planned genocide of the White Race, because the White Race remained the only possible opposition to the total domination of the world by international Jewish Marxism. No African or Asiatic nation has ever mounted a successful counter-revolution against a Communist regime, nor have they ever desired to. (Cincinnatus, Foreword, War! War! War!)

A reasonably astute analysis. Welfare is one of the dirtiest tricks ever played on Black Americans. Had welfare, Johnson's "Great Society", not "happened" Black Americans were building up, getting educated, and demanding equality. Whether you call them Marxists or the NWO you get the same bunch of criminals. Marxism was itself a tool for setting up the "Ant Hive" society that the Rothschilds, the European Nobility, and Rome want to preside over. To call it a "Jewish thing" misses the point though. Yes some of the big movers and shakers in this push for a totalitarian world government are ethnically Jewish, but they are no more good religious Jews than Hitler, or John D. Rockefeller, was a good Christian. This game is about, and has always been, the psychopathic megalomania of a few of different backgrounds with one common and abiding interest - a sick and twisted desire to lord it over others and to presume some innate superiority because one of their ancestors was a successful big time thief. They are basically philosophic materialists and ultimately anti-religious (unless one considers Satanism a valid religion which I don't). It is correct, I believe, though to say that the opening of the floodgates of immigration is an attempt to dilute the resistance posed by the American people, but it is not just "whites" that they fear as the spirit of liberty is shared by ALL true Americans whether they be the descendents of British Pikemen, Vikings, Saxons, Jutes, Vandals, Micks, Wops, Zulu, Masai, Bantu, Sioux, Apache, Commanche, Samurai, or Coolees. It is that CULTURE of liberty and independence that they wish to destroy. "How dare those damn commoners think themselves equal to their betters." That is the target in fostering immigration at a rate too fast to assimilate and aculturate.

Let's try this again: Thank you. (I tried to get cute in the last one and it evidently didn't like my html.) "To the degree that the government can take from you the produce of your labor without your consent you are that much a slave." - Me
Not really. "Some call it Marxism I call it Judaism." (The American Bulletin, Rabbi S. Wise, May 5, 1935). "The Communists are against religion (Christianity), and they seek to destroy religion; yet, when we look deeper into the nature of Communism, we see that it is essential nothing else than a religion (Judaism)." (A Program for the Jews and Humanity, Harry Waton, p. 138). There is no question that Judism, as taken from the Talmud, spawned Marxism/Comunism. In reality, Communism is simply a step in the direction of Socalism, which is another word for the New World Order. And there can not be much doubt that it flows directly from the Talmud. Rabbi Stephen Wise, one of the main Jewish leaders in the United States a few years ago, stated that when the Jews returned to Jerusalem from Babylon (with the True Israelites), about 536 B.C., they brought with them the teachings which became known as the Babylonian Talmud. "This was the end of Hebraism, and the beginning of Judaism," the learned Rabbi stated. "The Jews welcome this revolution in the Christian world...It is not an accident that Judaism gave birth to Marxism, and it is not an accident that the Jews readily took up Marxism: all this was in perfect accord with the progress of Judaism and the Jews." (A Program for the Jews and Humanity, by Rabbi Harry Waton, p. 148). Are they the only ones? No, not once you identify that the disease that is destroying the world started in Babylon with Nimrod, and most secret societies, at least, the worst of the secret societies, all hale from there as well. But the other big one is the Roman church, called universal, or, catholic. The book, Two Babylons by Rev. Hislop, goes into wonderful detail about the Roman church and it's histroy, back to Babylon. Of coure, if you read the history of the Roman church, you also find a lot of so-called Jews (they are not Israelites; they are Khazars: see, The Thirteenth Tribe, written by a Jew) have infiltrated it at the highest levels. And there is no doubt as to the influence that the Jewish interests have on the United States today. And, any so-called Jew who does attend the Syn-e-gouge, must of neccessity worship from the Talmud, because it is the only thing used in the Sin-e-gouge, and you can verify that with just a few moments of seach on the web. And if you really want to understand, try and look up the Kol Nidre, which is a prayer offered up by all Jews once a year. That will set your head on straight.
