Modern-Day Racial Segregation in the United States of America during the Trump Administration
Abstract
Racial Segregation is considered a relatively obsolete issue in many people's
perspective. But in reality, it is an issue that is still ongoing in the United States
today. In the era of President Trump’s administration, a new rule was issued to
overrule the previous administration’s act that strengthened the Fair Housing Act
of 1968. This caused the improvement of racially-motivated social justice in the US
to stagnate. Although housing policies may be the primary focus of the problem of
racial segregation, a complex network of other factors also contribute to this
problem. The six measurements offered by the Theory of Mechanisms of Spatial
Mismatch comprise these characteristics, and were utilized to formulate the study
question: How did the factors of Spatial Mismatch Theory intersect to influence
patterns of racial segregation in the United States during the Trump administration?
The results of the analysis conducted based on these variables met all of the criteria,
showing that there was modern-day racial segregation in the US during the Trump
Administration.
