Oh my yes. In fact one of the greastest factors in the decline of American cities was school desegregation. By the mid-1960s it became evident that merely forbidding localities from establishing seperate schools for blacks wasn't enough to ensure that black kids got the same education as white kids. The US Supreme Court ordered that municipalities bus students from district to district in order to spread out the ratio of blacks to whites in city schools. Whites raced for the city - county line in droves.

Of course, there is that whole grossly-underfunding-the-schools problem. Having grossly overcrowed classrooms taught by uncertified, overworked teachers does tend to pull the system down some.

one of the unfortunate side effects of excess democracy in the form of ballot measures is a lot of shortsighted decision making by voters.

One rule is constent though. If the street is named Martin Luther King Blvd then you want to avoid it like the plague.

****ing racist...

If anyone ever saw the movie Boyz in da Hood, Lawrence Fishburne stated it so well, you dont see Liquor Stores and gunshops in upper class white neighborhoods, and thus by providing quick access to these two you help contribute to a social enigma, keeping the Brother down, because he may not be strong enough to rise above temptation

Jesus Christ...

Oh, shut up, Drake. No one asked you to bump a half decade old thread for something so stupid (and true). Hell, numerous black comedians have even made the same point; the MLK Blvd is always the worst road in town. They said it because it's true.

Also the worst statues.

[Tupac Shakur]

Now we just need a DFG post and this thread will have all the racists.

Also the worst statues.

They named the statue a blvd?

[SlowwHand]

Have you been drinking? Can you read? Did I say MLK Statue Blvd. ? NO. I did not.

[Dr Strangelove]

Jesus Christ...

No, He was pretty good at resisiting temptation .... allegedly.

[Tupac Shakur]

Racist fight!

[SlowwHand]

He was talking to you. Being a nice guy, I tried to buy you time to think. Obviously, the attempt was futile.
