Housing segregation still sidelining people of color from dream homes | Nightline

1. America is systematically racist. We moved to an affluent neighborhood in Florida after retiring from the Air Force. The white neighbor across from me would constantly peek out her window whenever my family came to visit. My family members are educated and middle class. One white neighbor told another neighbor that when she sold her home in another area to move to ours, that the neighbors asked her not to sell to African-Americans. Nothing has changed in America. Except we are determined to live where ever the hell we want!

2. Our people can’t win for losing

3. I'm for segregation. All the good people on one side and all the bad people on the other regardless of race.

4. WHEN “THEY” TELL YOU TO GET OVER SLAVERY TELL THEM ABOUT JIM CROW AND RED LINES ON TOP OF SLAVERY!!!!!!!!!!

5. The yt couple completely oblivious of their impact is telling. They seem like really nice people but not aware of the impact of their presence.

6. Beautiful community Hala Park! 🙂

7. It has happened to us twice. In 2010, in Austin, Tx the referred realtor took me to some low income higher crime Hispanic area. I asked him why, are you showing me here. He said “I thought you would want to be with your ppl”. I responded, “show me in the neighborhood where you live, my credit is that good”.
   Another time, somewhere else in Texas,, one buyer asked me to provide him a letter of reference before he would consider our offer. We were offering the full price for the home. I surrendered to God and played ball with that buyer. I got us a letter of reference from a (white man) judge and now we are super happy we moved there. It has been a blessing. All the neighbors have been kind to us, it was just that one former owner who was racist (to our face).

8. I agree. My house value went up 8%, but my property taxes went up 24.5%. this is typical every year. I live in a depressed neighborhood, and it is very obvious with all the price increases (my energy bill went from 130 to 293, while my daughters, who live in better neighborhoods and used about the same as me saw increases of about 20 dollars), trash going up, all assessments going up, etc. Clearly they want us out of here.

9. Separate but equal 🤔🤨

10. Should I ask if they except section 8? Probably not.

11. I live in a white Neighborhood for a reason and we are going to keep it that way because it’s safe and clean! Maybe look to your own culture for the reason your neighborhood is the way it is and why nobody wants to live there

12. Time for whitey to take a back seat ! So irritating how horrifically racist whites are just because of a shade of skin .And before anyone judges, I am 3/4 white and 1/4 black and Spanish. I see both sides

13. That guy should NOT attempt to put any money in that really messed up home.

14. wow great video. I agree with this man in terms of him passing on her generational wealth concept.

15. It definitely still happens. I went to a neighborhood to see houses and the realtor at the model house wouldn't show me houses in that neighborhood. She said I know of a neighborhood that would better suit you. She said the name and thank God my God mom who was their and has lived in this city for over 20 years was with me. My God mom told the lady why are you trying to send her to a neighborhood with lots of crime, shooting, poor education instead of showing her a house here where she wants to see some. The lady started stuttering & saying uh uh I don't know the demographics of that area. My God mom said yes you do, it's your job to know that information. And let's say you hypothetically didn't know, then why would you recommend and area to her that you know nothing about. That doesn't make any sense.

16. Anyway it’s better to live in mixed suburbs than all white or all Hispanic suburbs

17. This video journalism is trash. They claim racism due to him not being able to purchase a house in the neighborhood he wants. They don't offer any data outside 90% majority white neighborhood composition and loan approval rates. What about credit scores, down payment amount, cash flow, debt level of potential buyer, etc? The video next talks about the history of reclining and than pivots to a Middle class black neighborhood and complains about gentrification.

18. White folks think black families will attract crime and bring the value of their homes down isn’t that sad

20. The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America (Richard Rothstein 2018):

    The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America is a 2017 book by Richard Rothstein on the history of racial segregation in the United States. The book documents the history of state sponsored segregation stretching back to the late 1800s and exposes racially discriminatory policies put forward by most presidential administrations in that time, including liberal presidents like Franklin Roosevelt. The author argues that intractable segregation in America is the byproduct of explicit government policies at the local, state, and federal levels, also known as de jure segregation — and not happenstance, or de facto segregation. Among other discussions, the book provides a history of subsidized housing and discusses the phenomenons of white flight, blockbusting, and racial covenants, and their role in housing segregation. Rothstein wrote the book while serving as a research associate for the Economic Policy Institute, where he is now a Distinguished Fellow.

    The book has been reviewed many times and was received with critical acclaim; among other honors, it made the longlist for the 2017 National Book Awards, was placed at number four on Publishers Weekly's Top 10 Best Books of 2017, and won Rothstein the 2018 Hillman Prize for Book Journalism. It went on to become a bestseller during the mid-2020 resurgence of national interest in racial injustice following the George Floyd protests. As of the December 20th, 2020 issue, the book has spent 32 total weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list. Source Wikipedia

22. He can buy a bigger home in his own neighborhood.

23. Harsh reality. Makes market value of neighbors houses drop.

24. My wife and I are a mixed couple and we were touched that some of our new neighbors came by to welcome us when we bought our house.
    Since then we always welcome new neighbors too. Be friendly once and for years you smile and wave at each other. I live in a great neighborhood.

25. When he said what's your number to sell she started thinking 😂😂😂😂. Everything they had just talked about went out the window
