Racial housing discrimination still exists but in different forms. New York City is segregated too!
That is everywhere. Especially Boston
It’s everywhere.
America is America because it's SEGREGATED
that’s more capitalism , not racism. New York is now rich vs poor in terms of housing
Thats a lie its against the law to discriminate. Im a real estate broker. Its more about how much money you have.
“People didn’t know about redlining.”
They knew. People always know.
They just never had to be confronted by it.
Exactly
Right, it was virtually the law.
Also, I am fairly certain when my ancestors were forced to work for nothing is when the gap started.
facts
Black world war vets were also denied GI housing benefits
Yet, fought (and died) for the same country that enabled such discriminatory atrocities.
So very true. Even after Vietnam, many blacks had difficult times getting the G.I. Bill, especially in the Southern states. They can either pay now or have the most HIGH tell them, "And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance." (Gen 15:14, KJV) You don't want him to tell you to do something, it won't end well. Obviously, its going to be very bad.
The very few and far between that did receive benefits were killed. Majority of the BM who were lynched WERE NOT involved w/WW it was BM who achieved economic success. Black Wall Street is how BM were actually lynched
@@mjohnson1741 They never mention there were many Black Wall Streets demolished.
@@therenegaderev469 Of course not, can't have it be known that black people actually did pull themselves up by their boots straps and created their own wealth and when they did they were promptly killed. Black Wall Street was not the exception but actually the standard✊✌

I like that saying I will borrow it ;-)) thanks.
Say it again for the people in the back😃
Facts
They knew it too! It doesn’t and still a never mind for themes long as they can reap the benefits by the systemic racism, they, dgaf. According to them they have done it all on their own and played along since the federal government approves.
Then add the fact that every self-sufficient black area was destroyed, burned down, a highway ran through or a central park. EVERY AREA...
EVERY single one🤦🏾♀️
Facts
It’s willful ignorance. That’s how they can claim that they didn’t know.
they never thought about why there were no people of other darker skin tones?
When it's Black people & racism why is the answer always "Move On"!? But everything else it's "never forget"!
Excellent point. Im going to remember that next time somebody says move on, like the holocaust.... move on.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thank you! Move on to what? 😐

"The Color of Law" is a great book that covers this issue.
This is News now?? Thought this was general knowledge
people don't want to believe it
It is general knowledge ! Nothing new! So we gotta stop crying about it. It is wat it is. Shows you that Nothing belongs to you. But your own spirit n soul you sell it out, or you hang on tight to your own ethics n values in this world. Love n light to all. Hang on to wat really matters cuz nothing is gonna go with you wen you die. And you'll never no wen that time will come! Be in the world not of it. The world is for the filthy n evil so called human beings. People make fun of people who prepare for hard times. But there the ones who servive through turmoil. Others take advantage of man laws and trust man as to all is well? Hmmmm?
Anyway... Just Trust the law of our one true God, our Lord and savior. Peace and love and Christ light surround each n every one of you. God be with you. Faith n Trust is the key😉🙏❤ 😊
Yes, find it hard to believe that old guy in Lyndhurst was unaware. Everyone in NJ knows.
Yes it's news because something needs to be done about it.
Back then people of color were driven to buy houses in neighborhoods where it wasn’t safe to walk your dog or children. Real estate agents were conditioned to keep it that way also.
Just sickening, they know this but still practice such discrimination. They truly donot want to change anything just talk to pretend as if they're are.
I assume you mean white people when you say "they". As a white person I'd like to say that I wish and pray for change. And that we can makeup for some of the atrocities perpetrated on non-whites by our ancestors. There is still much hate in the world but there are also plenty of us that don't have hate in our hearts but truly believe in equal justice and equality for all people. What's really sad is that, to be honest, I don't really know any black people and that really bothers me. I live in a predominantly mexican neighborhood by choice and maybe because I live in California and I love it. I love my neighbors. We're different culturally but we respect and acknowledge our differences as much as we appreciate our shared humanity. I've also had indian and pakistani neighbors and I love and appreciate their culture and heritage as well as all that we have in common. I ask that people not judge all white people by the same measuring stick. We should all appreciate our similarities and differences based on our shared humanity and definitely not by the color of our skin, religion, culture or bad choices our ancestors made. There are plenty of us that wish we were better integrated and have room in our hearts for everybody. It's the government and hateful people that we must all stand up to and fight together. The best way to show love to eachother is by example and by not continuing to divide people into separate buckets. Turning around people whose hearts are full of hate and fear is our biggest challenge.

We're on the human experiment list hun.
What's crazy is that people claim that they don't know what to do. But as soon as a black person opens their mouth to suggest something no matter what, it's like... No way! Not that!
Yet they have no answers.
They won't dare suggest something that may possibly affect their families futures. Meanwhile black people clearly deal with choices others made against them and their families and futures.
Seems every family's future is important except for a black family's future!

Chicago is so segregated it's crazy
Living in the city that has the largest percentage of black people ( Detroit) understand the city has been redlined sense the riots , there was white flight when the whites left the money left with them , we didn’t have a grocery store with fresh food for years , our schools was falling apart, jobs moved to the suburbs, so the average income in the city was 23,000 a year who can live off that ? Now car insurance the highest in the country facts ! Now insurance more than you car note , 77% had no insurance remember jobs are in the suburbs 30 miles or more for some people, and that’s not talking about the drugs that was put in our community, just for the people that made these conditions to sit back and say why they can’t pull themselves up my there bootstraps , while they were given the boot & the strap always feeling they are better then us , black city all across the states are like the D , I know they can start reparations by letting every black person go pick the house of there dreams for free ! That’s a start

Teach this to kids in school.. This is how everyone will find out. Stop teaching them useless information that doesn't transfer into adulthood
They won't have that. How can they deal with educated POC? They need to keep us as slaves feeding out of their hands.
A more important lesson is to teach people about financial independence and literacy, lots of people nowadays don't know how to invest or even pay their taxes appropriately, ruining their lives in the future.
FACTS MY BROTHER
I agree, but it starts at home. Parents have to teach their own children and stop depending on the system to teach your history.
@@pooh19818119 / our kids spend a huge majority of their youth in a school system that isn't giving them the tools to be successful into adulthood. Teaching them things that after middle school, are almost irrelevant in adulthood. They should be teaching them a curriculum that will help them prosper into adulthood and teach them the history and landmines that America has perpetuated on them without any doing of their own. Specially black and brown kids in America. We pay for the school system. The education system needs to be utilized better. There's 2 generations of parents in the world that don't know about the monetary and financial system and it's been systematically put against them at their inception.
My dad was a finance officer in the Army. I knew and my kids will know. But many people don't have my dad as their father. A child will learn it and grow to change and teach others while most adults have a complex of isolation and don't/won't reach outside their household to help others.
Children are the future to freeing America from its disgusting history. Our schools curriculum changing is where it all starts
I guess we never had those boots straps they keep talking about because they took the straps off our 🥾🥾
Girl they took the boots too...

@@tiag298 Absolutely correct. We never got the boots!

Reparations shouldn't be hard to do. It was easy for the government to work them out for Israel.
"We didn't know." Really? Never saw an African American living nearby and yeah, would have tried to drive them out if they had. Please.
We can't ignore the medical ramifications of redlining. Living near factories and retention ponds are a large reason for some of the many health problems black people experience in America.

This is not the origin of the racial wealth Gap, this was just another step in the economic oppression of ADOS.

She’s 94?! She looks great for her age!
I hate that he adds, “that is the origin of the racial wealth gap”... and in the beginning he deliberately stated it had nothing to do with slavery. Ummm the fact the in that time(or anytime) they were still treating black people that way is bc of slavery and white supremacy. Just stop trying to change history. Yes, what was highlighted here is obviously one way black people were discriminated against, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle. It was an inherited attitude passed down from the beginning of this country.
merary Thanks for acknowkedging that point. Because sometimes people see wrong but they have the power to create their own view to when and how. Even after claiming that they had not been awaee of these injustices.
You are correct. Although a good piece of news coverage, the piece was incorrect about stating that this is were the racial lineage wealth gap began. It actually began the day former slaves and newly US citizens were denied land reparations after the Civil War and during Reconstruction and also denied land grants during the Homestead Act, which was the largest government land give away in US history and in which an estimated 45+ million white Americans alive today benefit (wealth) from this very day (and this number does not include the New Deal and Fair Deal Acts that happened years later and these Acts also excluded most ADOS who were US citizens). Although many former slaves and their descendants miraculously were able to acquire some land, farm land being the biggest acreage, in just a few years, nevertheless, over time most of that land was taken or lost (schemes) or just flat out incorporated in other tracks of land without the legal ability or resources and most importantly government protections to fight back.
These acts by the federal government led to practices called slavery by another name, such as sharecropping, convict leasing, etc. It just amazes me how much pertinent US History were not taught and are not taught in High Schools or Colleges/Universities concerning the hundreds of government created and sanctioned policies (and I am not talking about conspiracy theories) but pure on the record government policies (Jim Crow policies nationwide) at the federal, state, and local levels that basically tethered ADOS to the bottom (wealth) as a collective no matter how hard they worked or how much education they had. I use the term collective as a statistical term for most data usually have statistical outliers for various reasons and during those times, hard work (feet, back, and hands) was essential for survival but sometimes luck and at other times pure strategy (Madam C. J. Walker comes to mind concerning strategy) or just flat out being chosen by the white establishment for various reasons, etc. caused statistical outliers.
This is why I say Black History Month is not just about individuals who accomplished great and extraordinary things which is awesome but also is about a SPECIFIC group of people here in the US whose ancestors SURVIVED the US Chattel Slavery system after building the country with free labor and whose very bodies were assets and collateral used to finance the growth and expansion of a nation and ENDURED AND SURVIVED 100 years of Jim Crow policies at the federal, state, and local government levels in the South AND North AND West) and yet we are still here.
@@carlyletom301 It all started with free labor. ie. Slavery.
He didn't say it had nothing to do with that, he said it wasn't just that. I'll literally rewind it right now to hear it again. "Its not entirely in slavery" doesn't mean it wasn't slavery, it means it was slavery with other stuff as well, like literally decades of post slavery segregation, exploitation, manipulation, and subpar education. The point is that the issue is MORE than slavery.
Exactly. The origin of the racial wealth gap started during slavery. Black slaves had no control over the land of which they were merely sharecroppers renting to white landowners. Land is a wealthy resource, and blacks were denied ownership of that resource.
The federal government was discriminating against their own citizens smh

Don't forget all the stolen land. It's shameful.
"The origin of the racial wealth gap"... Have you heard about slavery in America?🙄
My great grandparents had land they owned and lived in Colorado. The Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty was meant to protect them too but the U.S pretty much broke that treaty and she was kicked out of her home and land. She ended up in the barrios and never saw her land again. Many lost their homes and ended in barrios facing death, discrimination and poverty. I was never taught this and the only reason i know is because of my family. The US has a really dark past.
No "STUDIES" needed Tangibles and Checks.
This country has selective amnesia of its evil past and is blind to what’s currently going on with ADOS. They don’t want to see us progress they want to keep us at the bottom constantly mocking us and kicking us while we are down. Sitting up here in 2021 talking about studying the evil atrocities of slavery and further dragging out whether a debt “reparations is owed. Skinning and grinning in the media when really all they constantly do is paint the narrative that we are nobodies that deserve to stay at the bottom. Shame!
@@lalibel5310 ADOS?
I'll be 62 this year.
I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that THIS this sort of thing went on, and that it is the reason I was brought up in the house my parents built,
in the 1940s!
This makes me very, very sad and I don't know exactly how to repair what happened,
but SOMETHING DEFINITELY should be done!
You have failed to educate yourself and your children that makes you ignorant.
@@gray_foxx583 yes it certainly does!!
I guess I was trying to say that without using the word ignorant. but I was very ignorant of the fact that that happened.
have a good day. Stay safe
@@gray_foxx583 what makes you think I have children ...🤔
@@Nan-59 wilfully ignorant!
@@Nan-59 it's a good thing that was not pass on!
Families were hurt and some never recovered. Many were veterans!!!
It makes no sense we pay $1200 for a small place but can't get a mortgage for $500.00 , and my credit started off in the- negative because there was no education on it in school .
So glad this is being discussed. Now let’s make changes
That's what they said back in the 1960s
Yeah I'll take at least another 20 years , if it happens at all
400 yrs of them doing us wrong and we expect better from them? Never trust your abuser
They won’t make any changes.
@@christinet6336 We will though. We're becoming more educated every day
While we are at it, we should go back into the property records and ensure black families who were run off their land and had it taken away by local and govt entities should have their land restored to them or at least be made solvent financially. One example of this, look up Ocoee Massacre from the 1920's.
Their crime, they wanted to "vote". Shameful they have gotten away with this and benefitted from it for 100 years! I support this measure and think it is a long time coming.
I recently learned of that!!! Yes mam! It was shocking
@@wood8715 Agreed. I don't see how the land being stolen is considered "legal". Wouldnt that instead be a charge of receiving stolen goods? Profitting off stolen goods for over 100 fracking years? It is unbelievable what damage they have done *and continue to do* to this day.
This needs to be addressed and the family and people who pulled off this heist need to be held accountable.
Well go ahead and give all your land to the Native Americans because their ancestors were here before any of the rest of us.
@@jbo3887 Glad to see my comment ruffled your little white tail feathers so much dear, bless your little heart. Your account is now muted because I make it a point not to waste too much time with white propaganda apologists.
@@jbo3887 You first
So we black people have been saying this for decades...and people NOW want to finally look into this?!? Hey thanks for checking this out 50 years later-smh
God bless this 94 year old woman and her husband who took a stance
You think all of us want to be in the ghetto NO, we can’t move to the areas we desire because of racism. Thank God for my parents raising me in the Suburbs of GA after moving out of NY!
Oh! Now you acknowledge racial discrimination. On a previous vlog you stated that mentioning someone’s race during a verbal altercation should not be considered an insult. May I suggest you be more consistent in your arguments instead of hypocritical. After all , you are of Asian descent and your culture has been maltreated by whites on many historical occasions. Grow a spine!
@mauiportal I think that had more to do with wanting to get out of the ghetto, rather than getting away from any particular race of people. The ghetto just sucks.
So you like living with racist people? Doesn't make sense
Take a stroll to Florida red linings is up 100%.
“Now we’re going to follow the rules of the race, but don’t worry about the head start” said perfectly.
Racial discrimination in housing has never stopped I can't tell you how many times I went to rent a place I want to hear you on the phone and they are okay but when they see you in person it's just been rented are they never get back in touch with you this is an ugly practice and it's even ugly when the government is upholding it.
Come on nothing going to change we hear this every couple of years Biden not going to do nothing about it neither is what's her name i forgot already
@K. Will yep thats why they voted for trump to keep blacks out the suburbs and keep all the discrimination tactics for housing in place because they think we will destroy the suburbs even though lots of blacks live in the suburbs.
Seriously this information is known but nothing is done about it well stuff is being done well ... changes aren’t being made fast enough. Too much to type...
@@sweb3590 well those so called change's don't hold your breath if you do your going to die

@@streetfamdjs im not your boy white man go talk that too some one who cares what you or think you racist piece of well you know
I am an Uber driver and the majority of the black passengers I've had is in the hood still. My black passengers have been my favorite passengers. They have not tipped me the most (they don't have the money to do so) but they have been the most respectful and kind hearted and easy to give good service to. They tip also as much as they can I feel. My city that I live in has been working on the housing for a while now I think. I have seen many brand new houses that have gone up recently in the less fortunate areas. The city seems to be working on this situation but I can't tell really for how long and how much they will put into it. I hope a great deal of effort goes into it and on flip side I hope during this process people get closer instead of further apart. Believe it or not it makes me very happy to see new houses and apartments for people that deserve best. I haven't been a part of anything to help the African community except trying to build a good relationship with them on my time with them. I have my reasons why I don't participate in any community activities and it's really quite a few reasons, but thats a whole different story.
I can say most of my favorite people that have been in my life are black women. 3 that stand out because of time spent and what they did for me. One a couch, one a boss, and one a friend. They were all very good to me and no one else could top them with how they treated me. I will never let anyone take that feeling of respect and love for them away, no haters will ruin that for me. Its a tough world for me and I know the reasons and the silver lining with that is I can understand a bit of how the black community can feel so much resentment. I'm not saying I "feel" your pain completely but I do understand more and I do feel pain.
In which city are you located
This was so heartfelt. Thank you for sharing 💙
@MyTribe T.V All Out Attack What a sad person you must be!
If only more people could open their hearts and try to understand other people and their situation, then we would be closer to the American dream.
Absolutely hilarious post
It's not just the federal government, but all those good people that turned a blind eye
It's also important to point out that these Black families denied had generations of family members living and sacrificing for this the country for over a centurie and more while many of those "Whites" able to take advantage of such programs were literally first, at most second generation Americans. These gentlemen didn't know, but their parents did. Oh well.
Just the other day I was trying to explain to some one on a Huffington post story, the legacy of Jim Crow and his response was the same as the first guy, " Move on" . I really don't think people are able to critically think about how the polices of the past (and i am not talking slavery) i am talking Jim Crow, just how much it effects the present. My own personal story, I am 50 years old, and I am my grandfathers second grandchild and the first one to be born in my family with the full rights of a American citizen on paper , my sister was born in 1968 before the last Civil rights Bill was passed. To all those "white" people who may read this, I am not posting this to illicit any type of "White" guilt, I am posting this so people can understand we are not that far removed legal discrimination. What I find so hard to understand about this story and many like them, is the "black" Americans of this time paid local, state and federal taxes at the same rate as "white" Americans, "black" soldiers also fought in World War II but where unable to enjoy the benefits of their taxes nor could the returning "black" GIs take advantage of all the programs that other soldiers had, along with Native American, and Hispanic American soldiers. What we do about it, i dont know, maybe teaching it in a way that will help us understand why we are in the shape we are in today could be a starting point. But it will take Civic will and a cold hard truth willingness to talk about it. I just dont know.
they say move on cos they don't want to put the work . i don't want them to ask me questions i ask them to do the research work if they have questions.
Your comment is so very true, which makes it so frustrating to have to have most whites put so much passion into denying that there is such a thing as white prevledge . Sure it is true that not all of them inherited land that the government gave to their parents or great grand parents but they are in fact walking and driving around in a system designed for them to thrive in.
Best comment
Move on means they don't want to address their part in it!
Redlining and Discrimination to this daY 💯 % and these people still acting 🎭 dumb founded as if they didn’t/don’t know, and going off credit scores is another set uP to prevent from getting a Mortgage 💸
Shut down all the Mortgage companies and Banks that practice this, just shut them down!
🗣🗣🗣🗣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why would you buy things you cannot pay for?
Very true NewRez Mortgage with ShellPoint Mortgage have so many complaints. They charged me late fees when my Mortgage was received a week before the 16th. Yours Escrow they don't give you credit for the shortages they increase your mortgage payments. And tells you paying the Escorw shortages your payments will still increase.

Acknowledging that a problem exists is the first step to fixing any problem.
Less talk and more action!
The type of lifestyle you once took for granted in neighborhoods is gone they are now only available in gated communities.
People with any common sense know why the wealth gap is far . It's time for the government to pay up 🤑
Exactly. No need to study anything because it's already out in the open. Reparations Now!!!
Black and Brown people may need to sue the government for the money they owe!
@@gatorgirl5701 no such thing as brown people that phrase irritates me .
DONT FORGET JIM CROW!!!!
Mayor of Lyndhurst “ just move on” attitude won’t right the wrong done. Typical bigot response. If the wrongs weren’t done to them they don’t care.
Actual commercial that ran up until about 89..."On the wrong side of the tracks..."
Say it louder for all the privilege folks who think that some how their hard work put them in front, as if no other sinister plan had a play in it. Disturbing and evil practices intended to push a certain population forward and others were kept under their knees.
It's also the reason that America will never be able to catch up with China. It only wants to advance white people economically and marginalise everyone else. There simply aren't enough white people available to make America globally competitive. America needs everyone to advance if they are ever going to be able to compete, but they refuse to recognise this.
@@ratbatnufftime2861 that makes so much sense, but those who have the power to do so will always push a certain agenda forward.
Sue for what is yours!
I believe no apartment should be higher then $900.00 many landlords don't take care of their apartment building's, but want their high rent
i agree its a ponzi scheme by the banks first of all making people pay for the land. the banks done inherently own land its evil there so so much vacant land that you could build affordable housing apartments but the banks own it and would charge the landlords.
900 sounds way too high
$900 is cheap for a 2 bedroom in Connecticut.
And if people who rent them don't take care of them neither.
Wow 94 years old she looks good and sounds full of knowledge.
Thank you for this piece
Yep, that sounds about white.
That’s so funny considering the Bible screams gods chosen are native Americans Mexicans and African Americans and that god is black with the Bible saying that not me have fun with a black god killing you’re country
It’s in the Bible god thinks of romans less than spit and god calls whytes dogs in the scriptures lmfao nobody wants to be white considering you’re not gods chosen people god doesn’t love you at all
Have fun painfully and slowly getting put to death also Israel which was run by African Americans Brazil and native Americans we all were in Israel we killed Rome lmfao
David also smited goalith a 10 foot warrior vs the philistines and David prevailed all because god only loves the 12 tribes of Israel which is Mexicans native Americans Brazil Cuba Haiti Dominican Republic Puerto Rico and African Americans we are all through the Bible lol
Romans* (not woman’s auto correct )
It still exists just two years ago a black lady won a lawsuit against several mortgage companies for redlining in which the government still admitted they still do it. It's also done by insurance companies.
Source? I'm definitely getting to read up on that
So my family and I never participated in slavery, never owned, bought, sold or them. In fact, we only came to this country AFTER slavery was abolished. Are they trying to tell me I owe for something I never had any part of? Thats insane.
You benefited from the color of your skin, whereas black people were discriminated against for theirs... systematically. Just because you werent part of slavery doesnt meant you didnt benefit from systemic racism against blacks.
@@ShaynieB I THINK people are so busy looking @things thru lenses that are narrow, thus keeping them frm discussing the BIG PIC! IF YOUR COLOR ISN'T DARK in the United States, u have received benefits(big/small), that darker people have not!! WHY is that so hard to comprehend? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RACIST YOURSELF TO REC THE BENEFITS!! They were in place before u were born/migrated here!! What is wrong w/People???
Really...he just discovered this “new” information? The Italian guy in the shades response to what should we do about it is America’s response. “We move on. We are all Gods children.” Riiiiiight.
