[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3478760, member: 66082"] Lol, I don’t understand this response. One poster was claiming to know what redlining was in America. The poster says it was simply banks refusing to lend in high risk neighborhoods whatever that means and the federal government had no role in it. I then detail how redlining was actually created by the US government housing policy through the fha, and how it systematically denied home ownership to black Americans, helped create residential racial segregation, and helped white Americans build wealth while denying it to black Americans, and the response I get is to say what I didn’t mention. What I am claimed not to have mentioned wasn’t the topic of my post. this thing of comparing the past and the present is irrelevant and uninformed without doing reading on housing discrimination. Without reading about redlining cases from the past or the present, without looking up the banks being charged with redlining or racial discrimination or the studies that show housing discrimination, saying what does or doesn’t occur now in the US housing market without actually reading about the topic is just spouting uninformed garbage. Please gain knowledge. Do some reading on these topics or not, but you are glaringly ignorant about the wide spread extent of housing discrimination in America. [/QUOTE]
