Abstract

The two great black migrations and the rapid development of industry resulted in rapid population growth, which quickly exposed the problems in the allocation of housing resources. However, due to the segregation of blacks and whites, the housing problem cannot be solved very well, so there is a more acute problem of housing segregation. Soon, this kind of residential isolation developed into a spontaneous isolation behavior. Government policies fueled the flames, among them, the exclusive zoning bill is more typical. This paper explores the plight of blacks due to the plundering of resources by policies, and the impact of central and local government housing policies on the promotion of the bill and residential segregation. Consequently, it made unpredictable social impact in the United States which deteriorated the problem of racial discrimination and social impact in the United States. Racial discrimination and residential segregation in the United States are not formed overnight, nor can it be promoted by just a bill. The impact of the exclusionary zoning act on American society is more harmful than beneficial. It has done indelible harm to blacks, that is, ethnic minorities. The elimination of racial discrimination in the United States still has a long way to go.
