it's almost like there are no non-white people in any of the communities that will be bused far away. |
I'm talking to the people demanding that the government protect the property values in the areas that have benefited from redlining for decades |
Not true. |
That's a leap. I am completely sympathetic to anyone concerned about long bus rides, and have said so, though you keep pretending not to notice. I am not sympathetic to anyone who is demanding MCPS protect their property values. Property values that have benefited and continue to benefit from historical racial discrimination. |
what about non-white people wanting to protect their property values? |
yes this is discussed in detail upthread. No need to regurgitate it. |
Why, does it make you uncomfortable? People have been telling sob stories about their million dollar homes losing a bit of value throughout this thread. I will stop when they stop demanding the government continue to prop up their wealth. |
They have also benefited financially from segregation. I have never said only White people shouldn't demand the government prop up their wealth that grew because of segregation. |
it's not making me uncomfortable. the comment was "hasn't anyone ever thought about redlining" and the answer is yes, even in this thread. I imagine you are the one that brings it up repeatedly as your only point, so yes, everyone has thought about it. |
I didn't ask if they had thought about redlining. I asked if they thought about the wealth lost because of redlining. |
There are plenty of families of color on our neighborhood of $1M plus homes. Are they benefiting from segregation? I’m confused. |
There seems to be a lot of assumptions being made here. |
Yes. Being a family of color does not mean you cannot benefit from systemic racism, it just means the axes on which you benefit are probably more limited than a white family. |
It’s going to hurt the Hispanic Latino community much more. You are never guaranteed your house value will go up. |
Isn’t this … integration? I think you’re picking on the wrong HS here. WJ has lots of Black and Brown families who are very wealthy. I think all this segregation talk assuming the wealthy at WH are white or Asian is super offensive. |
