Historic redlining and other racist policies have led to present-day racial and economic segregation and disinvestment in many cities across the United States. Research has shown how neighborhood characteristics and resources are associated with health disparities such as preterm birth and asthma, but most of these studies are limited in scale and overlook many aspects in a neighborhood that are difficult to measure, including dilapidated buildings and crosswalks.
Now, a new study led by Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) and the Center for Antiracist Research (CAR) at Boston University (BU) has utilized panorama digital technology through Google Street View (GSV) to identify these neighborhood characteristics on a national scale and shed light on how they contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in local resources and health outcomes across the US.
Published in the journal JAMA Network Open, the study found that predominantly White neighborhoods had better neighborhood conditions generally associated with good health, such as fewer neglected buildings and multi-family homes, and more greenery than neighborhoods with residents who were primarily Black, of other minority races, or of a variety of races and ethnicities.

Or is there only such thing as "multi-culturalism" when it's convenient? (rhetorical question)
Total BS of course.
First time I had ever seen a "diaper tree". What's a diaper tree you ask?
It's a tree outside of an apartment building. When the residents change diapers they open their windows and throw the soiled diapers out and they hang up on the tree.
Independent objective research that is not looking to justify pre-set conclusions?
Bingo
Compare Black neighborhoods and mixed neighborhoods of the 1920s, 1950’s and post LBJ’s war on the poor.
It isn’t in the genes. We know where it is.
No, Obozo be cutting down all dem trees in da park to get rid o dem green places. Uh huh!
Fewer broken bottles in the street, less gunfire, fewer thumper cars, quieter voices, fewer police encounters, neater properties...
—Cars parked all over the lawn
—Liquor stores with bars on the windows on every corner
—People walking down the middle of the street at all hours of the night
—Broken down furniture on the porches
Cause they take care of sh!t?
Well, duh....
Free stuff has no value....it's free.!
so many "ohs"...
they as a group are more than capable...sometimes brilliant.....
Exactly.
Because they are invested…..with their blood, sweat and tears….aches, pains, harvests.
Amazing what the human race can do, when invested in something, for their own betterment.
Exactly my point!
😉
I propose another study.....this time study the garbage of each neighborhood....see how many fast food wrappers there are, how many soda bottles, how many beer cans and whiskey bottles.....see which group has more veggie peelings....
Could it be an absence of moral behavior, responsibility, self-respect or hard work thatâÂÂs contributing to the problem? Asking for a friend. ð¤Â
Most things in this world work on a normal curve—so there are exceptional black people—who btw are accused by their peers of “acting white”.
But—in a group neighborhood setting the odds are very strong that there will be severe dysfunction of the kind described in this thread.
Imho there are both genetic and environmental (cultural) factors—but it is a banned discussion topic in universities so it is very difficult to tease out the details with solid data and analysis.
Describing the real world is not “hate”—in fact truth-telling of bad news is tough love.
Your FRiend has a firm grasp of the obvious!
