True

Explanation:

Blockbusting is grabbing the land of the real owners by deceiving them in terms like saying them that the surrounding land will be owned by uncivilized black people (a tastic used in some 1900s), religions that are threat to your coming offsprings and stuffs like that to emotionally force the white owner to sell their property at below fair value. Then later the land was sold to other customers at above fair value due to provision of facilities that were rare in those days.
