Same with ghettos. One broken window and people stop caring about the property values. If you take a look at the businesses in the ghettos, they are not minority-owned. Neither are the properties.
Ghetto living conditions are deplorable and poverty and hunger are rampant. The government has little interest in rectifying this. Also, the very EARLY government made it impossible for minorites to have the same rights as their white counterparts, by ratifying laws in the constitution and encouraging segregation. Although today such things are not condoned, the ramifications are undeniable.
BTW, as for your 40 acres and a mule = wanting a free ride comment from earlier...I thought you were kidding, but maybe not. Were you?

No I wasn't kidding about the 40 acre and a mule comment. Anyone that wants 40 acres and a mule is looking for a free ride.
Why should the government fix broken windows that they didn't break? The individuals that broke the windows should fix them and if they dont fix them, then they deserve to live in a ghetto.
