The urban underclass

These pictures show the modern white racist mind set - conservative as well as liberal. If there had been no racism blacks would have been spread out equally all over America just like most immigrants after a few generations. Instead blacks are forced into greater and greater isolation. In many cities such as Detroit and Chicago 96% of blacks live in all black neighborhoods - against their own stated desire, says all polls. In these pages you can see many of the people I lived with as a vagabond and still live with today between my lectures.
