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.

Right, show me all the white people who are treated as equals in African countries lol.... White people are the only people who are demonized for looking out for our own.

This happened in cities also - New York City's "Stuyvesant Town" - a large, middle-class apartment complex in Manhattan that was specifically built to house returning WW2 Veterans.

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.

[@omowhanre]

I think it’s important to acknowledge oppression from other perspectives as well. Just because she’s from a caste system culture doesn’t mean that she is perpetuating it. She’s simply sharing her story and it’s one that I often don’t hear about. The thing here is that folks of color are all oppressed and then some oppress each other or want to silence each other. I say, welcome other people’s voices and experiences so we can better understand each other.

@@jenaybrown4575 Your coping defense doesn't erase the fact that many Indians treat people of color the way white people treat people of color. Not a whole lot of respect. I don't know how many Indian people you know. Indians has been color conscious with each other way before the attitudes of house slave's vs field slaves. There's a whitening cream industry. Parents telling their daughters to not sunbathe and get darker. My wife is from Karala, but her grandmother is Chinese, so she appears to be from the north. She has a Bollywood look about her. My point was, she thought not having the darkskin of her "cousins" was going to make her skin color invisible to white people. A dark skinned Indian, like a black America wouldn't be this naive. It surprises me she had this experience, but not that she was shocked. Watch a video on Levittown. 1683 was the first time the word "white" was written into a document to divided non-British white Europeans from Africans who got along. Basically telling them you won't have out privileges, but you'll have more than the Africans. This woman's neighborhood gave her more grace than a black person but reminded her she's not white.

this documentary film is an historic approach of how the federal gov. in 40s & 50s developed the suburbs. on these days racism was strong an existed not only here, in most of the latin, african asian countries.... remember the new suburbs in havana, (Cuba) in the 40s & 50s. same thing happened,,,,, we (cubans)n were much more inclusive than many other countries , but what we had were neighborhoods for middle clase, rich people, had and others for not middle ,not rich .and poors (the mayority) Money, and race, (in this order) were in the box to live in nice, well designed , and excelent constructions , most of them in the new suburbs, . something important, some of them were kind of gated communities today.... on the other hand in the rest of the neighborhoods race not was an important issue. money was number one.... and the other was behave...it was so important to be a new resident there. of course there were neighbors for under level poverty, many like every where today. racism to me is "" you are not the same as I " so out of my way""". could be skin color, not same religion, not same etnicity, not same way of live, not same langues everything not like i am ... racism is not discrimination. (think everybody understand this) it comes for our up bringing , education, our posibilities of interchange with different people, from every where in the world... and thesse that not had did is very, very difficult for them clean their mind of this kind of prejudice. so to me is completed logical that here, and everywhere in the world by thesse time those kind of prejudices where in the governmet mind. no only one person, was the mayority of the popuation, those days were not TV, not cable tv, not computers and wiffi and.....that was the way it was.

A community's viability follows its average IQ up or down.

[@lynndupree1205]

It's not about just the color of skin of the homeowners. It's mostly about the age of the property and what local resources are allocated. If roads, and schools, and police protection, and drinking water, are all sub-par the real estate values will go down. And if certain people are discriminated against when hiring and promoting, how can they climb out of poverty? The whole system was rigged against black people for so many years. The main source of wealth for Americans is in the equity of home ownership. So, discrimination in home ownership was a main reason for black poverty.

[@timward3116]

Yes, that was the distant past. Now, all segregation is based not on race but on income: the wealthy and those who serve them.

[@ToddRogers00]

Who has the wealth? How did many of them acquire said wealth. Ill answer that, the whites largely own the wealth bc it was inherited from this "distant past" legal racism that happened in the 1930s. Get a grip with reality pal.

Yes, having none in certain neighborhoods after dark was to keep people safe, it was a solution to an ongoing problem, and what has happened since that law was changed, giving them more freedom? More crime, it's that simple.

[@Tim_Unfortunately]

@@malachi- "A 1996 study found a strong association between black-white spatial isolation and rates of black violence, consistent with the hypothesis that segregation is responsible for higher rates of black crime. Multiple other studies have reached similar conclusions." Crime isn't determined by someone's race, but by how they're treated by society. Instead of being racist, how about you show some sympathy for people who are systemically discriminated against and afforded fewer opportunities than you. It might help you grow as a person.
