It has happened to us twice. In 2010, in Austin, Tx the referred realtor took me to some low income higher crime Hispanic area. I asked him why, are you showing me here. He said “I thought you would want to be with your ppl”. I responded, “show me in the neighborhood where you live, my credit is that good”. Another time, somewhere else in Texas,, one seller asked me to provide him a letter of reference before he would consider our offer. We were offering the full price for the home. I surrendered to God and played ball with that buyer. I got us a letter of reference from a (white man) judge and now we are super happy we moved there. It has been a blessing. All the neighbors have been kind to us, it was just that one former owner who was racist (to our face).

One reason it persists is that Blacks still must be “exceptional” by “accepted standards” for mediocre whites to “accept” them. Even then, Blacks can be discriminated against but the act tends to be muted once they’ve been “vetted.” What’s more interesting are the conflict of values residing within transitional Black areas that were once solid, stable communities of mostly owners. As those areas lose value, often manipulated by corporate and governmental entities, more instability encroaches. In Chicago, for example, such a plan - some call a conspiracy - destroyed two such communities. One of them, Chatham, was hailed for decades as the largest concentration of Black middle-class home owners in the country. The second, South Shore, had transitioned from whites to middle- and working-class Black owners and stable, upwardly mobile renters. In each case, the values were apparent. Property crimes were comparatively low, public schools were decent, owners occupied most of the residences, small businesses thrived, etc. When the country’s largest housing projects were razed, rather than invest in new housing for occupants, it was decided to provide them with housing vouchers and the dispossessed were directed to areas like Chatham and South Shore, both containing a good share of multi-unit dwellings. Owners saw the writing on the wall and accepted contracts, they aged, died, etc. and in a space of a decade, the formerly stable neighborhoods were deluged by people with different values, lifestyles, habits… Property values suffer, businesses have abandoned properties in formerly commercial zones, property and violent crimes have risen, senior owners who did not relocate are terrorized… So, this is a more interesting story to me.

I think it all comes down to a few simple things.Many people don't want African Americans moving in because then they'd ruin a quiet neighborhood. I used to live in a nice Chicago Suburb. Me as well as all my neighbors had to move out because more African Americans started moving in and doing things such as blasting loud music not cleaning up after their pets and constantly getting into gang disputes which would lead to my family being woken up at 2am every single morning to gunshots. I also as well as many of my other neighbors noticed an uptick in theft. Everyday i'd see 3 cops on my street becasue someones car was stolen or broken into.

I am a USA Muslim woman, now living in Queretaro, Mexico, since 11-2-2021. Usa got too deadly and expensive for this 79 years old living on a pension. It is $850 dollars less expensive per month, and includes all utilities and maid service, and a beautiful view of the city. I am in a gated community with 24/7 security. I have been visiting and living part time in Mexico, mainly Acapulco, since 1962, and Spanish is my second language. I still get my groceries online, delivered to my door, and my laundry is picked up and delivered to me. I tried using Amazon-Mexico to order food, that I miss from the USA, but DHL would not deliver to my home, and said I was not home, so I took a taxi to pick up my products. Dented cans, but what was not sent was refunded. The Louisiana hot sauce was packed very securely, and my red pepper flakes. I will try to get La Comer supermarket to order for me, since they bring my groceries and they are EXCELLENT! There is not any food shortage here, and not any limits on what you can buy. I pray to God, that the world is rescued from the evil and greedy demons attacking us. I am very happy here in safe,beautiful and super clean Queretaro, Mexico. Americans voted for all of you.

Racism in housing has been well documented. Black homeowners houses often have lower appraisals but the appraisal of the same house have a higher value when it’s occupied by a white person. During the subprime mortgage crisis black homeowners were disproportionately given subprime loans despite qualifying for better better loans. Look up the practice of “Redlining” and how it still shape many areas of this country. Due to redlining many houses in black neighborhoods are still worth less than houses in white neighborhoods. Because schools are funded in part by property taxes black schools are often underfunded.
