White-Only Suburbs: The History You Didn't Learn

[@twilajohnson2313]

I bought a house in 2020 in a predominantly Black area. My insurance agent told me she didn’t think they would insure my home. When she found out I was buying on the nicer (more asian) side of the community she told me they would be happy to insure my home. I quit that company. Laws to keep Black people from home ownership may no longer be legal, but it’s still happening.

[@Blaze6432]

Clearly you want to throw the race card without understanding the main issue. Your insurance company is denying based on risk and to completely ignore the risks associated with the average black majority neighborhood is not helpful to progress.

[@CarolinaRamirez-zi1qm]

@@Blaze6432 This comment is not throwing in the race card, rather a real current day manifestation of structural racism via redlining. Here is some background: Back in the 1930s, banks and the federal government made maps of neighborhoods to decide who could get loans to buy houses. They marked some areas as “high risk,” coloring them red on the map. These “redlined” areas were often where Black people and other minorities lived-not because the people were bad or the houses were bad, but simply because of their race. Here’s the kicker: race was literally written into the rules. It didn’t matter if someone was financially responsible. If they were Black or lived near Black people, they were automatically excluded. White neighborhoods, meanwhile, got green or blue marks, meaning “safe” for investment. The result? Banks refused to give loans in redlined neighborhoods, so families there couldn’t buy homes, build wealth, or improve their communities. Meanwhile, white families got loans and passed down wealth through generations. Decades later, even after redlining was officially banned in the 1960s, the effects remained: underfunded schools, less investment, and higher poverty in neighborhoods that were once redlined. Those “high-risk” areas weren’t risky because of the people-they were made risky by racist policies that systematically excluded them from economic opportunity. So if someone thinks it’s about risk, in this case the insurance company that may not have covered the house mentioned in the comment above, remind them that the “risk” was designed to keep people of color out of the system, and it’s still haunting those neighborhoods today.

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.

My grandfather bought a home in Detroit in the 1940’s the same neighborhood that Ford and Fisher and other auto families had lived. It was restricted, so he had his lawyer buy it and transferred the deed to him. When the subdivision found out he had to go to court to keep his house. He was threatened by neighbors, but he was not easily scared and they found out so he didn’t have problems after that.

We had four black people in my office and all of them quit after a few years. They did not like working overtime. We were often required to work late, without breaks or lunches. We worked mandatory weekends and some holidays. It is a lot to ask of a person. They all worked slowly and could never finish their work in an 8 hour shift. Often times they did half or one third what the average worker produced in a day. I could process 25 cases compared to one of them only doing 5 in a day. We had the same experience, but I worked at a much faster pace. Eventually they all quit and wanted an easier job. Back then we were making $150,000 and had they stayed could have earned more. I am also a minority who did not graduate from college. I worked hard and was able to provide for my family. It was a choice and the ones that did not want to work hard quit and went elsewhere.

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.

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.

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.

just because a house is nice does not mean that there is love. Love from your family is what matters

[@rawdawg9212]

Wrong. It's supposed to be love from your community. Love from your family in a house surrounded by have nots that definitely only love the things in your back yard, isn't ideal but is a soothing mindset I get it. Safety, crime, my kids school district all take precedent in 2024. Respectfully, we can't be that niave🤷🏾‍♂️💯

Only poor people are racist, the rich segregate based on economic status.

As a Mexican American, coming to this country I haven’t been nothing but work and educate my self, now as a psychologist, I can say proudly that opportunities are for everyone not only for white community, but for everyone that have the eager to grow and prosper. This will allow me to have a comfortable retirement T the same time provide the best weapon on modern society to my kids witch is education.

I work in Palo Alto area, I've met many nice people there. Still bump into some prejudice people who seem racist. Unfortunately, it's not only east Palo and Palo Alto. There's more areas around the bay area that are divided and it's not race anymore but rich vs poor now. It's not going too change that's just the way things work I guess.

One is discrimination based on how smart and hard you work vs the other where its discrimination on what color you are which isn't something you cant change unlike your work ethic and intelligence which everyone can change.

A Japanese farmer had a few acres near downtown Palo Alto and was sent to a relocation camp in 1942. He got rid of the land quickly and God only knows how much it is worth today.

@@Ap_twsh Two wrongs don't make a right, studies show intelligence has little to do with work ethic, or material wealth as well.

@@Ap_twsh intelligence is hard to change. i was declared healthy when i was born ... i excelled at school (not uni, haven't gone to one). but i recently learnt that i have complete aphantasia. tell me how that is not going to affect my intelligence? i can't change my intelligence.

I also was raised on the San Francisco Peninsula (in Belmont). Growing up in the 1960''s I never heard anyone say anything racist or negative about black people, not that anyone knew any black people. I remember very clearly the day my 30-person grade school class being shocked and horrified when our Catholic nun teacher informed us, that just a few years prior, black people were not allowed to buy a home in Belmont. I never understand why that would be in our liberal area. Thank you for explaining that decision was essentially forced by the Federal government.

[@Brando-wc8fz]

The good old days where people knew their place and didn’t complain about feelings. I would have loved living here back in the 60’s. I bet the crime was lower and people were more cordial towards one another other.
