The end of legal segregation caused the blacks who can function in a Western, technological society to move away from those who can't.

What's left behind are urban and rural concentrations of essentially third-world people, who are no more amenable to sociopolitical interventions than their brothers and sisters in the rest of the third world.

And nobody has any idea what to do about it.

I disagree. We know what to do about it but the liberals (and most conservatives) won't let us do it.

Here is my "End the Ghettos In Ten Years" Plan.

(1) Legalize drugs. That ends the street drug business.

(2)Legalize prostitution as well. Test them, license them, and let them be.

(3) No local, state or federal taxes of any kind in designated "ghetto zones" for ten years. You live there, you work there, no taxes.

(4) End mandatory public school attendance. The schools are prisons in these areas. Kids should only be in school if their parents and/or they want them there.

(5) Criminalize teenage pregnancy without a husband. If you have a child with no husband and you are under twenty one you go to jail until you are twenty one and society takes the kid. The kids are put up for adoption in two parent households.

Add to the list as you please. There is a lot that can be done--if we start thinking out of the box.
