Kenneth Clark saw government policy as contributing to the continued existence of black ghettos.

"A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, typically as a result of social, legal, or economic pressure." wiki Preparing for debate. Political conservatives love to point out that failed communities of blacks have been in staunch Democrat controlled areas for decades, with some have black leadership - duh! That's called representation, are those critics living in the communities and running for office? Blaming them for the results of earlier multifaceted, structured, and coordinated, efforts driven by social engineers such as boards of realtors, banks, and the government to geographically contain black people. Black folk packed up and shipped off from neighborhoods into "The Projects". The name is the same all over the country. You know what and where it is around you without ever having been there. In favor of urban renewal with shopping, theater, and parks. And Starbucks (we're 5-7 minutes from Neiman Marcus and Tiffany et al, they have a Starbucks. We're also a couple blocks from a long major road. But there's not one SB in our area or on that road for miles. There's "low income, subsidized, housing" near by = no SB.) Imagine a long-distance telephone conversation. "How is she doing? Where is she now? I haven't seen her in years!" Answer, "Oh, she's okay. She lives in the Projects with her 3 kids." It's a heavy word. Not one of promise or opportunity. Details don't matter anymore. (what's the neighborhood like? good schools? what's her house like? she's such a great cook, I bet her kitchen is something? she lives to garden, no doubt she has one?)

Clark used this finding to bolster his argument that segregation...
