Document Summary
Once the racialized hierarchy starts, it is hard to get rid of. Government policy of segregation giving black people poor land. There was a refusal to sell or trade with blacks so long as their poor land would leave them vulnerable to accepting wages by white people. Black canadians were accused of undercutting wages (just like the chinese) The minority group is being blamed for the problem ideology of competitive racism. Blacks were not allowed to purchase land in many places in canada and were not given business licenses because they were not considered true citizens. Racialized space a space created so that it is an unfavourable environment to live in stigma attached to the people living there (dirty, etc. ) White people put the dump there, etc. but the minority group is blamed for living there. Asked for sewage, water lines, building permits, but they were all refused. All of this stopped the community from moving up.
