And the argument that I'm trying to make is that if there's a significant segment of the black community who feels, even if there are now things that are better, but they have not played a significant role in making it better, or they haven't played a significant role in the power relationships, or if you have significant numbers of people who see the effort to change education and the way that it's being done as a larger part of the disempowerment of black people in the city of New Orleans, even the good things that are
happening, in my mind, they are, uh, there's a danger in the ability to
sustain it if we, if we can't build
on a broader
base of support within the black community itself.

based on lending practices and mortgage interest deductibility tax regulations that lured new buyers into mortgages they couldn't
sustain.
