I understand the intention and don't disagree with it, but is it now lawful to specify what races/ethnicities you will or won't sell a house to? Property sales are not private, they are public transactions.
If you want to keep denying the obvious, let's keep playing.
What if the said private transactions were brought to the attention of the public, like here by the NPR? Would the selective sellers not be branded racists?
Was Bill Clinton rich as a kid? What about Obama? I'm not saying redlining wasn't bad and do think many people need to realize how privileged they were at birth. But what is wrong with inheriting some privilege? If you get rid of that, then you basically have communism.
The instances in which the disparities cut out one class of people and favored another are so many that it is hard to even begin.
Let's start with one, It is a god-damn fact that blacks were not allowed to buy homes in certain neighborhoods - the better neighborhoods. And those were the neighborhoods where house prices were appreciating and people and families were growing rich in the process. But blacks were cut out of that opportunity. And it was pernicious, widespread, and very detrimental in the building of wealth, both on a personal level and a family level, and intergenerational as well.
Again, this is but one example.
It is not so much that there is anything wrong with inheriting wealth, but what is wrong is who were cut-out of that process. That is wrong. And finally our eyes are being opened to this inequity.
Blacks were NOT cut out of neighborhoods. You are a complete liar 🤥
Whoever could afford to buy a house has the opportunity. You post is utter nonsense

Are you for real? Google the quote below. You get hits for neighborhoods in Oregon and across the USA.
"No Negros, Chinese, or Japanese shall own or occupy property in this neighborhood unless they are a worker or a servant."

A good credit score is a gatekeeper to wealth, career opportunities and housing in the U.S., but some say current scoring models aren’t always fair. Credit scores have gotten attention over the past few years from critics dec...
Critical theory is not critical race theory. Critical race theory concerns the study of how race figures in the history of constitutional law. (Yes, you can find some critical race theorists going beyond that, but then that's no general truth about them). Critical theory refers to Frankfurt School researchers who were Jews fleeing the Nazis and who wrote Marxist but anti-Stalinist work that was anti-totalitarian. Good luck finding much direct connection to Black Lives Matter. And good luck finding any connection to revolution in critical theory, which was labelled Cafe Max (Horkheimer) for having nothing to do with any revolutionary action. Critical theory includes anti-communist figures such as Hannah Arendt. As for postmodernism, it too is influenced by many different thinkers, ranging from Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, and Heidegger, some of them on the left, some Enlightenment or centrist thinkers, others on the right. Postmodernism has even been influential on conservatives, who like to use relativism and perspective- or value-dependence of reality as a shield (e.g. Karl Rove, you in the reality-based community). So, what exactly are you trying to say?
Don't be obtuse. Critical theory is literally in the name, critical race theory. Critical theory focused on culture rather than economics but retained Marx's oppressor/oppressed dialectic. Some of the theorists, as you mention, fuse Marx and Freud and other thinkers, but this doesn't mean they've abandoned the core features of Marxism. Not only this, but the ideas fueling the culture wars are not pure distillations of Frankfurt School theorists or Postmodernists. They derive from people like Crenshaw and Derrick Bell, Patricia Hill Collins, etc. All of these latter thinkers fuse critical theory and elements of postmodernism. They're not even a pure instantiation of these thinkers. Herbert Marcuse was horrified by the behaviors of some of the 60s radicals who were inspired by him, but that didn't mean they weren't acting on his ideas.
I'm trying to say exactly what I said before. "Woke" ideas come from the same intellectual genealogy as Maoism and therefore operate in similar ways. The goal is to attack culture and remake the subjectivity of the people in order to transform society and break free from the prison of, in our case, intersectional oppression. For Mao, the goal was to eliminate bourgeois thoughts and values. It doesn't matter if Frankfurt School theorists were anti-totalitarian. The ideas operating downstream of them are clearly totalitarian, and some of this tendency has to do with the flawed map of human nature upon which much of Marxist theory rests.

The issue isn't race. The issue is poor people who don't have any credit, or who have bad credit. Turns out this is not a race issue, but an economic one.

From the Brookings Institute:
"When confronted with the mountain of evidence indicating racial discrimination in housing markets, many would like to attribute it to class, wealth inequality, or some other race-neutral cause. But that wish can’t be reconciled with the evidence."

Recent research shows that homes in Black and Latino or Hispanic neighborhoods are more likely than homes in white neighborhoods to be valued below what a buyer has offered to pay. Here, we examine these findings in the conte...
A lot of Gen Xers (41-65) are very wealthy and as a 39 y/o Xennial it'll be hard to outbid them for all the good homes. I'm willing to rent more and save $ until my career gets to the point where I can outbid people.
Not surprising. Anyone who hasn't should read into the Chinese Cultural Revolution. People with far left wing psychologies and personalities have done things like this throughout history. They don't worship anything but their ideology.
this is NOT TRUE. I also worship at the alter of Taylor Swift

Did you even read what you cited? The topic was discrimination in lending, and you posted something about discrimination in appraisals. The very article you cite says "[s]imilar work [i.e., research] needs to be done for lending and underwriting."
