“The unethical tactic of ‘blockbusting’ was employed by some real estate operatives, who played on the racial fears of whites and the home-ownership aspirations of African Americans. By invoking a scenario of black encroachment, blockbusters persuaded white families to sell their homes at a loss (and move to the suburbs -ed.), and then, in turn, sold the same houses for a high price to African-American buyers.” - from the University of Maryland Baltimore County Center for History Education
