Racial Segregation

                 I believe that the city still has racial segregation I believe because of how Chicago was built in the past. Chicago has traditionally been built upon segregation and immigration. They have always had people separated from others. The politicians did not want certain where they lived, so the made property values higher there and did not necessary want people of a non-white descent. Let’s face it America was very strong on racism in the past, technically our country was found on it, the South relied on slavery for everything. Their economy was based on this and the North is the first to have changed that, resulting in the Civil War dividing the country.

                Politicians have always been racist with setting voting lines strategically so other races cannot have a majority vote so they can stay in power and by also creating laws that affect only certain people. Such as the voting laws that forbade men from voting if their father’s father did not vote. They knew this would only target certain people and did this for their benefit. So I believe that politicians are inherently racist and they do this so that that may stay in power. But how can we dismantle the segregation that exists. It will not be easy but I believe it can be done.

                The only conceivable way that I can see this happening is a COMPLETE transformation of not only the state but also federal government system. The racism is inherently present regardless of the time and place. But the odds of convincing everyone in power to completely redo the system that they have in place and control, would never happen. Do you think that the people in power would ever agree to give up power to let everyone be equal?
