Chad Freidrichs on THE PRUITT-IGOE MYTH (AFI Silverdocs Interview)

[knightschwartz]

i love how he blames "racism" for its collapse. Yes, it was those evil whites in the suburbs with their "racism" that screwed up that project. It wasn't the inhabitants. No it was the evil whites. Ofcourse. The decline of America is all there fault.

@knightschwartz 3:38 <-- listen. if you see the doc, you'd see that pruitt-igoe's collapse was far more complex than that, but yeah, racism and classism were certainly part of the equation.

@knightschwartz He said not one word of blaming whites,your imagination is playing tricks on you again.There is a multiplicity of forces which contributed to pruitt-igoe,s demise.Life is more complicated then your defensive racism .

And who benefits from saying that it wasn't the authorities plan that failed - not the people it was desgined for we have one word for this covert operation to defend modernits urbanism - Revisionism.
