Deracialization is essentially a political current within neoliberalism that argues black leaders should deemphasize race in favor of certain political styles and symbols. Upon examiningMayor Webb's administrations - from the perspective of community development - municipal employment, public scholls, police accountability, and affordable housing are found to have worsened, or reflected ambiguous change, for Denver's poor and working-class neighborhoods. Supported with social and economic data, as well interviews with community activists, the study concludes that race remains a significant issues for understanding how community development is pursuedin black neighborhoods in some cities
