    Even when black folk try to get ahead, we can't get ahead. This country is still so disgustingly racist in so many different ways. There are so many benign things that you think a black person could escape racism, but once again, the reality of the country we live in smacks us right in the face.

    "After controlling for housing metrics such as education, crime and walkability, the study found “homes in Black neighborhoods where the share of the Black population is greater than 50% are undervalued by 23% — about $48,000 per home,” he says. “That equates to about $156 billion in lost equity.”

    The video accompanying it is disgusting. We need change.
    We? I thought you were doing well and successful

    You keep telling me how bad White Privilege is.. but you came here to this awful place... on purpose...

    Your family could easily have chosen a dozen other African countries where there was no White Privilege. And emigrated there. But you didn't. You came here to the land of evil White Men instead.

    LOL
    There are a lot ways to answer this question lol but this answer has nothing to do with my ability and desire to make the best of the place in which I reside.

    What's amusing to me here is that assuming you are black and want to live around other black people, which should be your right if that's how you swing, then you can get the same house with the same schools, crime, walkability etc. 23% cheaper than in a neighborhood where people don't look like you.

    That sounds like a deal to me.

Obviously, America can't provide that for you. But we still think you deserve all those things. That's why we are telling you to leave. We want you to be happy and safe.
    lol trust me, America is becoming more and more socialist by the day.....take a gander at the outcomes of nationwide local elections. Soon, there won't be much you can do about it my friend.

    Also, if MLK and Malcolm X could fight and die to rid America of racism, it's my solemn duty to continue that fight every day until I pass away

    If they were being sincere about their "gotcha" moment, they would have left all of the "Blackness" (whatever the hell that means...) up on their walls and book shelves and gotten appraisals from different people. Then, compared the appraisal reports. There is nothing scientific about their assessment at all. It's bull shit. Sorry, but it is. This is like wanting to know what people's opinions of red cars are, but you show different color cars to different people. There is no statistical control.

    Here is what you do with appraisers:

    1. Have multiple appraisers come through...probably at last 3-4 different appraisers. The average appraisal is probably what the house should be listed at or around.
    2. Have multiple inspectors come through so you have something to compare to the appraisal reports.
    I literally posted the stats that indicate that there is systemic issues. You glossed right over them lol

    Child, this country will never be a socialist country. Voting has nothing to do with it. LOL.

    You do know who killed Malcom X, right? And why he was killed?

    You don't seem to.

    But there were so many better options in Africa. Right?

    Dozens of countries without even a hint of this White Privilege that is holding you back and making your life so bad.

    Why did you come here? Where gangs of White Privileged cops roam the streets hunting for black men to murder? It's horrible.

    Why not Somalia? Or The Ivory Coast? or Wakanda?
