Whites-Only Suburbs: How the New Deal Shut Out Black Homebuyers | Retro Report

[@KotyYell]

I was going to comment about the likelihood of people commenting negatively. It turns out that someone has already commented “boo hoo.”

[@JackParsons2]

I mean it's pretty silly considering the goals of progressive housing movements nowadays.

[@NoahFense69]

Yep. Who wants those ghetto smuts in our neighborhoods ??? NOT ME.

[@IAMNOTAYOUTUBER]

It’s too late to be “welcomed”. The houses are 1M+. No Black families were able to generate wealth. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@RudieObias]

Ah yes, the time certain people call “the good ‘ol days.” I wonder which certain people call this time period that. 🤔

[@JackParsons2]

The funny thing is that the people that were hurt by those policies now want separate spaces for themselves lol. Nowadays if white people move to an area with minorities they cry about gentrification. We got so woke we went full circle returning to segregation.

Palo Alto is one of the wealthiest areas in the United States. The people that live there now are extremely wealthy compared to the average American and fact that they are getting up in arms about this is an example of rich people finding problems to get mad at.

wait.. how is she offended when she is allowed to live there and that written for black americans. im confused to how people automatically attach themselves to an issue we have been dealing with for centuries.

The New Deal was huge package of benefits and projects of all kinds. As a black man, why should we even care about mixing neighbourhoods as an end?? If it happens, then OK! ... But its demeaning to think we blacks can't live with each other. Some wanted to integrate neighbourhoods to tie the economic interests of whites with blacks. OK, but I do think we should focus on helping ourselves.

[@Ian-pn1ff]

because integration causes more equity and equality as well decreases racial biases

[@skinnywizard103]

I mean this doesn't surprise me given the attitude of the world in general at that time.

What happened to old Retro Report that just followed up on all old news stories? That is needed in modern times with short attention spans. Now every single episode has to connect to some modern progressive trend.

[@VaePomegGlitch]

About time these stories were told. It's normal for this to be reported on, and the entire decades where these stories were deliberately hidden were not normal at all.

[@JackParsons2]

@@VaePomegGlitch None of this has been hidden unless you were just ignorant. It's weird that it's now flipped and black and Latino people actually want to have separate spaces for themselves and that's considered just fine by progressives.

[@victoire614]

@@JackParsons2 I'm a white person living in a gentrified area. There was no rule ever banning me from moving here and I've never been personally harassed for living here. To compare complaints about gentrification to straight up redlining and blatant discrimination is some serious mental gymnastics. Get a grip.

[@liamshaughnessy6246]

Ha ha lol ❤😂😅😅!

[@mrrogersrabbit]

I wonder when people will start realizing that "racist progressive" is more of a norm than an oxymoron.

Did you even watch the video.🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Weirdly, it was very often the Southern segment of the turn of the century Progressive Movement that legally codified Jim Crow across the region represented by the likes of James K. Vardaman in Mississippi, Hoke Smith of Georgia and Charles Brantley Aycock of North Carolina among others as opposed their more conservative intramural rivals the Bourbon Democrats. Aycock's ally Josephus Daniels went on to become an important mentor to FDR when the two served together in the Wilson Administration and Roosevelt called Vardaman’s Pro-New Deal segregationist successor Theodore Bilbo, “a real friend of liberal government”. Perhaps stranger still is how the preeminent representatives of black Republicans, the biracial Black-and-Tan faction in the South, were quite frequently aligned with the staunch conservative wing of the national party whether it be the Stalwart, Standpatter or Taftite Republicans rather than the contemporaneous moderate-to-liberal Half-Breed, Insurgent or Rockefeller Republicans. They even supported the fairly orthodox Tafts, William Howard and Robert Alphonso over the to each of their own minds progressive conservative Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower whose campaigns instead appealed to the white supremacist Lily-White Republicans despite their modern reputations as being the last vestiges of some radically leftist Republican Party of another era. The New Deal Democrats and Rockefeller Republicans both did come around to champion civil rights, unfortunately for the latter the black population had already largely shifted into the Democratic column by that point, but those are major parts of the history tend to be forgotten and seem worth addressing.

Ahh boo hoo!

What kind of imbecile watches this and dismisses it out of hand in this childish way. No surprise this kind of thing happened, with specimens like this living in the country

[@coolconfuzer]

@@VaePomegGlitch I know a lot about this topic. Im laughing because its bias.

[@holiver1981]

Whats bias?

[@JackParsons2]

@@holiver1981 Now we have black and Latino people who want to have their own neighborhoods for themselves, if white people move to their street they start crying about gentrification and "maintaining their culture". They're doing the same thing the evil white people did but now it's considered progressive.

[@maryvee61]

But to be fair when integration happened, communities did suffer.
