He shows urban blight was the result of a real conspiracy to diminish Catholic political solidarity by breaking up white ethnic neighborhoods. Blacks were the muscle then. Now the latest generations of blacks are being phased out, as other commenters here point out.<br /><br />Rather reminiscent of the "Simpsons" episode where the short-sighted town authorities try to get rid of different kinds of natural pests by bringing in rivalrous pests. For example, to free the town of Kudzu the authorities simply import Kudzu-eating tigers (or some such thing). When the tigers pose problems more significant than the Kudzu ever posed, the authorities import something bigger and more dangerous that eats the tigers, and so on. In the end, the town is lost.<br /><br />Another good text is the bio of Robert Moses by Caro.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-13587377907202934552012-03-15T22:38:23.633-07:002012-03-15T22:38:23.633-07:00My vague impression is that Chicago mayor Rahm Emm...<i>My vague impression is that Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel would like to drive hundreds of thousands of poor blacks out of Chicago.
