I'm talking to the people demanding that the government protect the property values in the areas that have benefited from redlining for decades

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.

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.
