The people who built the projects in the first place were do-gooder sociologist activists who wanted to help society. So were the people who wanted to tear down the projects and repair the empty houses for "scattered housing" . They meant well and it all sounded good on paper.

That's a GAS STOVE! How would it work if she didn't pay the gas bill??

"Man providing" versus "Uncle Sam providing" is a false dichotomy. Plenty of women are the breadwinners of their families, supporting their kids AND their husband /boyfriend.

So, the KKK rode up to Chicago and stole the copper wires and pipes out of those buildings?

??? Single motherhood isn't always a choice. Dudes die young and get locked up all the time. If you're against promiscuity and out of wedlock birth, complain about that. Don't forget, a lot of these kids are products of a grown man impregnating a girl too young to legally consent. They chose to put up with the judgement of society to save a life rather than have an abortion.

@neens6492 When they tried to close the failing schools and bus kids to the good schools there was a big ol' protest against "forced integration" ! By black Chicagoans! So how do we fix that " poor education"?

@Only1Jim The rat experiment and the projects aren't related. Why would racists want to pay the people they hate to sit idle and breed? They wanted men of all colors working to support their offspring, not sitting back and getting paid a "stud fee" in increased benefits due to more offspring. People back then saw welfare as a "widows and orphans fund", which it was when it was started. Politicians weren't psychic to see that the hippie "free love" era would come and illegitimate birth would skyrocket.

You should see the old TV reports on AIDS! " Sid, who is a gay, contracted AIDS while working as a male prostitute"...
