Blockbusting is certain real estate dealers' practice of using racial scare tactics to persuade whites to sell their homes, buying them themselves, and then reselling the properties to African Americans. Blockbusting accounted for much of the racial succession and segregation in private housing in American cities during the 20th century. [Source: Encyclopedia of American Urban History; Blockbusting]
