The red lining was territories. Not individuals. I haven't seen any federal housing policy singling out a difference in guidelines for a race. Just guidelines for this side of the street versus that side of the street.

I get what your saying, but what's going on now has nothing to do with that; it's simply the left using historical grievances to extort, destroy and intimidate their opposition. If white privilege was such a big deal then their would be severe consequences for talking against it, instead the entirety of corporate America is all onboard with the woke agenda full throttle

The covenants are a different issue than the lending practices.
I get what you are saying. There was racism. In a lot of places. But there is revisionist history on practices that isnt 100% true.
The loan applications were restrictive on territory. Not race. You can say it was the same thing (because it did discriminate on black applications), but those applicants wouldn't have the same barriers to funds in different neighborhoods.

Seems like blacks want to go back to this.

And… What’s been going on for the last f*cking 55 years?
Ya know, for the vast, vast, vast, majority of the people are who are alive and pretty much everyone who is in the f*cking workforce.

Here's my perspective:
1. I never owned slaves.
2. No blacks living today ever were forced to pick cotton.
3. Blacks in America today have privilege because their ancestors got on the boat. I can say this with all certainty because I lived in west Africa for two years.

It was just banks assessing areas according to risk due to decay, crime and delinquency rates. With the help of dems it helped spawn the Community Reinvestment Act that ultimately metastasized into the sub-prime meltdown.

125,000 Vietnamese immigrated to the US after the fall of Saigon in and around 1975. Most of those people had nothing and could not speak the English language. It took them 10 years, 10 fricking years, to begin to flourish. It is education, hard work, and focusing on family. The Vietnamese didn't complain about "racial inequality" and "white privilege". They just went to work and got it done.
Why can one group come to this country and succeed in a short period of time and another who has been in the US for a long time continue to struggle?
Reading the OP, I was already formulating my post on the Vietnamese.
I'm, not saying anything in the OP is wrong, just that most of those things can be overcome quickly with an industrious, willing and determined culture to plow through problems.

I agree mostly. I dont pretend that there weren't racial undertones back in the 30s and 40s. But the majority of the decisions were to encourage good loans and avoid bad ones.
Similar decisions were made in 2007 and 2008 with all of the mortgage fraud. Lenders were denying entire zip codes. When challenged on a racial basis, the fraud rings were evidenced and the number of foreclosures were proof that the zip code "red lining" was a good lending decision.
