[quote=Anonymous]Well, it is a bit beyond people having "poor credit." There have been and are structural injustices. Many blacks were consigned to living in certain areas by racially discriminatory property covenants. Watts became a predominately AA working class and middle class area during and AA WWII. However, later, as industrial jobs dried up or were taken over by recent immigrants, many blacks had trouble finding good paying jobs. U.S. Government under-writing rules for home mortages instituted red-lining among banks, which chose not to extend credit to black areas, and the "block-busting" practices of real estate agents combined with freeway construction, encouraged "white flight" to the suburbs. Gangs had their origins in the black clubs that established in the Watts, Crenshaw and other black areas to fight against white violence on blacks. [/quote]
