[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth is that racist government-sanctioned housing policies for a long time DID mean that an influx of non-Whites would tank home prices in affluent areas.

If you want to understand the impact of housing policies on race and race relations in this country, I would strongly recommend that you read this article: http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/05/the-case-for-reparations/361631/

I am a conservative (generally) Republican, and I thank you for posting this. I have started reading it and find it very interesting. I look forward to finishing it later tonight. [/quote]

OP: here. Thank you for this.

Funny, before moving to the states, I always thought of liberals as more inclusive.  If thats the case, then why are liberal cities so segregated and there is such a disparity between blacks/hispanics and others i terms of education, wealth and health?  I know the answers to this are loaded, but it makes me wonder what liberal politicians are really doing to advance "equality."  Perhaps the idea of equality is joke in a capitalistic society.

Interesting article but I am torn. Africans have been exploited for centuries and it continues to this day but at what point does the perpetual target have to take responsibility for being an easy target.  It is human nature to cannibalize the weak, it would behoove demographics not to be weak. One on one discrimination is one thing but a systemic history of raping and pillaging and 500-600 years of more or less taking it speaks to some inherent weakness that must be addressed before true parity can be reached. And it isn't like Europe was the only people taking advantage either, China is repeating the process as we speak in Africa now but yet these problems persist.[/quote]
