2:34: "And this advantage compounded over time." This. So very much. The human brain is hardwired not to notice advantages that you possess (instinct left over from humanity's hunter/gatherer days that encouraged you to go out and get more food) so it's extremely difficult to get people to understand how advantages accrue on top of other advantages over time. To illustrate this, try playing a few games of Monopoly where the winner of each game (the only person not to go bankrupt) gets to keep 25% of the resources they ended with for the start of the next game. After a few generations-- sorry, I meant rounds of playing like this you will be all but guaranteed to know who will win the next game before you even start playing.

I would argue it’s any person far too thickskulled to comprehend basic fact checks and information, moreover they very well could not at all be unable to except that they’re perpetuating racist practices but rather wish for more of said practices. The fact is people are assholes and and just because people are factually incorrect and total dumbasses doesn’t mean we can rope them into a group and stereotype them otherwise we become just as bad as them.

[@hi_im_ruka]

Pizzalover346 My comment was based on my immediate shock after watching the video, I’ll be more clear: This problem not an opinion, it’s a fact, so therefore it cannot be ‘liked’ or ‘disliked’. You’re correct, we shouldn’t stereotype people because of their knowledge, any number of circumstances contribute to that. (place of birth, community, illness, etc.) Most you have no control over. Nevertheless, basic human decency isn’t something you can or cannot learn. So, completely disregarding this, even if it goes against some twisted belief, isn’t an option. If there’s a problem, then one cannot ignore it because obviously something’s wrong.

TheReUploadChannel They are. You're right. Therefore, they need higher quality teachers. But they don't have the funding for that. They don't even have enough funding for the same quality teachers as predominantly white schools. Ironically, the areas where this is going on the least? The Deep South. There, there's a lot of poverty in white and minority families alike. And, while poverty is a horrid thing, it means, for the most part, both are on equal footing when it comes to housing. In all it's irony, the racist slave owners of the past created an economy where most white people were already poverty-stricken, meaning that, in the far future, they were the most equal place. In one respect, at least. I'm sure the massive amount of racism and hate that happens there kind of offsets it.

And to even say what youre saying as a point you need to actually understand why those people think that way, which you obviously dont because you missing the OP's point... which was also the point made in the video and a point that's been made across history... segregation doesnt just mean things are separate but they're the same... which is why people fought against segregation in the first place, one side always gets the short end of the stick and THATS the issue... theres a clear correlation between minorities and poverty, crime, poor schooling etc and it all stems from the same thing, as outlined in the video...

Its actually much worse than this. The "rich" "wealthy" suburbs are actually subsidized by the urban core (many are poor renters). The public infrastructure and services needs of the suburbs is much much greater per person. The taxes generated by the suburbs do not cover all the cost to pay for all of it. We are talking about roads, sidewalks, pipes, electricity, storm water drains, parks, police protection, fire coverage, garbage collection, etc. The density of the urban core allows it to operate with economies of scale - more people serviced by the same infrastructure and services. This means more tax payers per unit of public services. The urban core have enough tax payers to cover their public costs and then some. Suburbs are money losers for city governments, while the urban core are cash cows that transfer wealth to the suburbs.

[@Basta11]

Let me add that the suburbs also consume more government subsidized energy per person. They pollute more per person and do not pay the externalities. They also benefit much more from federally backed mortgages which favors homeownership which is mostly in the suburbs as opposed to more dense areas where there are mostly renters.

its actually not that hard, the key is education, we here in America give benefits to people working really hard.

The same is for sports which is predominantly African American, and white. White are not the top for either, you don't see much asians playing basketball. We have laws in most University to accept an equal or at least try to accept an equal amount of each race. We do not do the same for sports. Me, being an asian, I have a ton of competition in terms of education, the same is with sports African Americans would have a ton of competition, when laws such as affirmative action which basically lowers the requirement for minorities are placed in University I get pissed off. That like reserving spots on the Basketball team for other races, even if it means that they are not as good. African Americans have more benefits then any other race to be honest. if we want benefits we should give it to everybody. Education is there to have the skill needed to make money and survive, same goes with sports, people pay to get money, to survive.

Basically, whites get to roll the dice first and get loans + the cost of cheap homes.

Their parents die and don't pass on any homes or wealth. Minorities continue the cycle while wealth continues to grow amongst white communities. Civil rights goes on which only happened about 50 years ago which isn't long. That's your parents age. Minorities start getting a little bit of help and handouts to even the playing field. The white kids who doesn't realize the handout they got 70 years ago start saying it's unfair and that they aren't getting anything and it's all anti white propaganda.

I've lived in the suburbs all my life, and as annoying and overwhelmingly conservative it is, people in lower income areas and primarily black neighborhoods will never have the same opportunities as I do, and it's not fair. To have the opportunity to invest in your home, raise your children in safe neighborhoods with good schools should be accessible to everyone.

@@Anonymous-wp7lm really? FDR made a deal with senate democrats, he'll block anti-lynching bills that hit his desk if they pushed his new deal through. the same new deal that had NONE of the promised economic benefits for african-americans until altered by republicans later on. the same FDR who ordered the illegal imprisonment of US citizens of Japanese descent and illegally ordered the seizure of privately-owned gold by executive order. and let's not get started on how he threatened to pack the court if they didn't stop doing their jobs and strike down his unconstitutional expansion of federal power and influence, which he had the senate numbers to pull off at the time BTW. He was no LBJ as far as blatant racism goes, but as far as actual crimes and corruption, he was among the worst of the 20th century.

[@killer13324]

@@Anonymous-wp7lm "it was a bad policy motivated by fear based on very little actual data" like the NFA, which was a knee-jerk reaction to a problem that alcohol prohibition created and did nothing about the gangster problem. And no, lincoln's first option was removing blacks from the country, emancipation was a fall back because congress did the right thing and stopped him. FDR, however, deliberately kept citizens in harm's way to push an agenda, one that we now know EXTENDED the depression by an estimated 7 years [according to the foundation for economic education]. And he's the only president i know of until now who threatened to put a bunch of yes men in the court if the court didn't stop doing their job. So there were no checks and balances to stop him. FDR pulled multiple BLATANT constitutional violations and he was allowed to unchallenged and set dangerous precedents in the process.

Sometimes people just want to live near the city but not too far away from the city in a quiet area. It's easy to say suburbs are racist for a place like Detroit but for a place like San Francisco or NyC where the city prices are too high, suburbs are logically inevitable and not a consequence of racism. Not everything is about race.

[@siddakid3207]

This is all great and stuff, I just want to point out that he said “separated by race” after the racist laws were repealed when at that points they were separated financially not racially. It’s just the black people and other minorities in the red area we’re predisposed to poverty BECAUSE of the previous laws. Great video, Adam, I love what you and your team are doing, I just wanted to point that out. The only people inhibiting the “segregation” (quotes are there because they are no longer separated by race as previously mentioned but the people separated are because of segregation) of these areas now are the racist loaners. Besides them the government and literally everyone else is now against this which we all are happy about. It’s just sadly the only people who remain unchanged are those capable of solving the problem.

"I did not get to pick what color I was when I started." Right wing response: "Sounds like an excuse for not working hard, you lazy bum! Make better life choices and you won't have such a crappy life!" If only that wasn't so common that it's almost a direct quote from countless discussions. Even worse, proposing solutions that address the underlying problems is met with a lot of resistance. Not just from right wingers, but also business interests. It's good for profits if there is no interracial (and other groups, including sex, religion, and plain old working class) solidarity creating a united front to push for change.
