[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CRT is the notion that current/past law generates/perpetuates racism. For example, a previous poster mentioned redlining. Redlining was the bank practice not to lend to people in certain areas. Who were those people? Mostly black people. What was the effect of they practice? To deprive black people of home ownership. Why does that matter? For many families, home ownership is the cornerstone of their wealth. Also, neighborhoods of homeowners tend to be more stable and provide better living conditions. In sum, redlining is an example of a law/practice that systematically disenfranchised a group from prosperity. Kids should know about that to ensure that future society doesn’t repeat it. If you don’t support economic handouts, don’t make it impossible for people to succeed. [/quote]

Just to clarify… redlining was not created by banks it was created by the federal government. They created a map for the banks and “redlined” neighborhoods loans would not by secured by the fed.[/quote]
