First of all AA is a particular diaspora and does not apply to all Black people. To answer your question in some cases the minute Black people or any other non WASP group move into a neighborhood no one wants to invest in it. Without resources a neighborhood won't thrive.  I'v seen this happen.  Everyone left and took everything with them. Only thing that was left was an auto parts dealer and Walmart, no one can live on those wages.  They left because of Racism plain and simple. I also think it is a mind thing, the minute a black child leaves the womb thier stamped with Deprived or Inner city or Ghetto or Crime.  It doesn't go away you have to make it go away, If those things were true I wouldn't be working on my 2nd Master's right now. Also there is this stigma that comes with black neighborhoods. That is, that their must be more crime there. So you will have, White males cruzing the streets harrasing women and young girls and trying to by drugs. Like I said before Black neighborhoods lack resources if their were more places to go for help instead of the police station we would be better off. \n\nMy Boss (who is white)asked if it is a good idea to start hiring students at the nearby high school.  The school is mostly Black.  She was concerned that she might have trouble with these kids.  I took offense to this and we began to talk. She asked me why don't we all stick together instead of killing each, why is there so much crime and black women on Welfare. I kindly told her that we are not the ones on Welfare, her people are, and White people kill each other all the time I don't hear the term White on White crime. I also told her that if she paid people decent wages and start some college and mentoring program that might help. She didn't like that answer and she stated a scholorship at a surburban prep school that was mostly white.  I didn't understand, most of the people at my job (who are Black and my job is in a Black Neighborhood) didn't either, so we started a mentoring program.  This reasoning is part of the problem. She completely wrote off a group of people imagine 20 people thinking this way now imagine thoudsands, get my point.  She had it drilled into her her whole life by watching tv and reading the newspaper that Black people are lazy and don't want to work, steal and rape white women. That's part of the problem and that's why there is crime because no one wants to invest. So people sell drugs and their bodies so they can eat and feed their kids. They feel depressed because of their state, so they drink and do drugs. The media creates a demand to have Ipods and shiny jewerly and cars, so they rob and steal to make themselves feel apart of something.  They  go to jail and when they are released can't find a decent job so the are back to selling drugs and their bodies.  They start using drugs again which is observed by their kids so they learn early. Then the cycle starts over and over again.  Just think that, if someone invested in some of these neighborhoods, with better health service and decent paying jobs the cycle would stop.

The project could be Questions and Answers On the Internet. You can write a report on what happens on this service. The rest is up to you.

If you have it planned, then it can be pretty easy according to me to establish a town. You need a large portion of land and an army of architects and engineer, to make the place more adaptable for human occupation. You have to be aware of criticism from environmentalists and social workers also.

Wow, thanks for that.  Not only did I sign it, but I emailed this to everyone on my e-mail list.  Hopefully these measures can be passed and other cities will follow in their footsteps.  It's definitely a start.  Thumbs up to you.  Good posting.
