As a licensed real estate agent, the prejudice story is not being accurately taught. After WWII, black soldiers were most often denied loans for housing and education. The FHA, primary housing lender at the time, had many rules discriminating against non-Caucasian’s and non Christians. With inability to buy homes, and lesser education, the blacks were inherently denied the ability to build the wealth the discriminators had.

Many people do not understand that segregation was not only in the southern states. Segregation was alive and well here in the state of California. Back in the 1930s there were four types of public schools in California. There was a school for Caucasian students. There was a school for African American students. There was a school for Asian American students. There was a school for Latin American and Native American students. I believe it was in 1947 (or around that time) that California abolished school segregation.

There are two kinds of segregation in America: de facto and de jure. In Latin, 'de facto' means 'in fact' or 'in reality'; 'de jure' means 'in law'. De jure segregation refers to the lawful separation of people, while de facto segregation refers to the separation of groups 'naturally' as a result of racism such as in schools and neighborhoods.

Excellent video...thanks! I learned of this hideous practice in law school. When I was buying a property later, I asked the title company to send drafts of all documents I would be expected to sign or accept at closing at least 48 hours beforehand so I could review. I saw the exclusionary clause in the deed (as it was in every deed in the neighborhood), called the title agent and told her to remove it. Her reaction was "It's not enforceable now, and besides, you're Caucasian, so why do you care?" I replied, "I am well aware that it's not enforceable, but I am going to sell this property some day, and I don't want any potential buyer for whom it once applied to even see it." She grumbled a bit, but I insisted I would not close unless she did as I asked. As far as I know, no one has to accept a deed with that offensive language, so hopefully it will disappear in time.

My parents bought a home in Shaker Hts Ohio in the 1950s. The deed said that the house could not be sold to anyone who was Jewish or Black. Of course, this wasn't enforceable when my parents bought it. Shaker, at the time, had other ways of steering prospective homeowners. The one I recall from my childhood...throughout the 70s was that there were no yard signs allowed for homes for sale. You could only find out about available homes through an agent. So, the agents and firms functioned as gatekeepers. That eventually fell by the wayside too. But, yes, this country had...and probably has...some complex methods for structuring exclusivity.

[@karanjain5663]

​@@heofthebee how is learning about explicit discrimination based on ethnic or racial background causing harm to the working class? The working class was (in the past) largely screwed over by the private sector essentially viewing them as tools to get jobs done. That's no longer true but the change came about because lessons from history were heeded. Working class moreover is not an ethnic group - it's an economic category which includes people of all ethnic backgrounds. So the comparison is not exactly apples to apples. It's lovely that you're bashing a person sharing their observation for playing the victim card by playing the economic class victim card yourself. Jewish people of ethnic European extraction look different from those of middle eastern extraction. That's just due to geography. There's a reason why I point that difference.

Government handouts are not going to help minorities raise out of poverty, instead, it creates a permanent class that depends on the government instead of themselves to survive!

[@terejosh13]

sure nice story david ❤

[@YaGudBuddyUncleNate]

Well, handouts certainly helped the huddled masses of European immigrants get ahead didn't it?

[@lala2u]

Welfare was created for poor whites, they were literally raised out of poverty because of it. That's how it propelled them and created the white middle class. No bootstraps involved!

I can't see anything wrong with living in a neighborhood where everyone has the same skin color as yourself

[@marcospintor1333]

There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just messed up when you go out of your way to exclude a group of people based on skin color and their only option is to live in the shitty parts of town even if they have money to buy a nice place

Yes, it has been said then and some WASP's still have this view now. All whites were not equal back then. At one time, Italians and Irish were considered scum so they were not welcomed in WASP neighborhoods. Later on they were, even JD Vance made a comment about how Italians, Germans and Irish led to higher crime and conflict when they came here.

Where I live in Texas while minorities can't be denied purchasing any home for which they qualify, White majority residents, businesses and schools make life a living hell from time to time. Crosses get burned on lawns, racist epithets spray painted on garage doors, Black children bullied in school and given failing grades by racist teachers, even though the work submitted was no different than that submitted by White students, the list goes on and given the conditions of today, it's OK to be openly bigoted.
