There must be some other explanation than systemic racism because as right-wingers have told us repeatedly, there is no such thing.

'Black homeowner's appraisal doubles after white friend steps in'

An Indiana woman was shocked to see her home appraisal value double after she stripped her home of Blackness and had a white friend replace her during an appraisal.

Carlette Duffy said she had two previous appraisals conducted, which saw her home valued at between $110,000 and $125,000. The home — which is located in the historic Flanner House Homes neighborhood west of downtown Indianapolis — was appraised again with her white friend present.

The new appraisal amount was $259,000.

Duffy told the Indianapolis Star she felt relieved and angry. “I had to go through all of that just to say that I was right, and that this is what’s happening,” she said. “This is real.”

The woman has since filed fair housing complaints against the mortgage lenders and appraisers who did the initial appraisals. She has the support of the Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana.

The complaint, filed with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, alleges that appraiser Tim Boston, appraiser Jeffrey Pierce, CityWide Home Loans, employee Craig Hodges, lender Freedom Mortgage and two of the company’s employees violated fair housing laws.

...

In February of this year, a Black couple in Marin City, California went viral after sharing the story that their home was undervalued by more than $500,000 when they got a second appraisal. They had white friends pose as the owners of their home as well.

Homeownership is one of the greatest ways for families to build generational wealth. The Brookings Institution found that racial disparities in home prices reveal a national trend of widespread discrimination, further deepening the wealth gap, even among homeowners.

Of course people are racist.

In a free society, the racist real estate appraiser would be broke, after making that mistake enough times.

What makes me suspicious about those bleating on and on about racism, is that they only see certain colours as victims.

It's almost like they are judging victimhood based on race, or other immutable characteristics.

Why was the property damage associated with the black civil rights movement of the '60s acceptable if the property damage happening along side BLM is unacceptable?

lol
You are cute when you are writing stupid shit.

Malicious trolling. Time to pull back I think.

Yeah, it gets tempting when he insults me again and again.

I'll try to treat him like a drunken kid when he gets like that. Sorry BP

I insult you because you are a serial insulter. Not to mention a fascist sympathizer.

No, Cunt, you only think that because you are, shall we say, a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Question, Cunt: are black people in the US poorer than their white counterparts because they are victims of systemic racism, or do you think they are just innately feckless and unproductive?

Two questions, Cunt:

1. Why is the property damage associated with the BLM movement unacceptable if the property damage that happened along side the black civil rights movement of the '60s was acceptable?

2. Are black people in the US poorer than their white counterparts because they are victims of systemic racism, or do you think they are poorer because they are prone to, as you say, making "shit choices"?

'Mistake', eh?

Yeah, the free market would do an outstanding job of eliminating racism, if it weren't for socialist 'Democrat' interference. Or something.

You have learned well, grizzled padawan. Soon you will be able to swing the right-wing sabre with the best of them, neatly decapitating any and all examples of systemic racism with blindingly fast non-sequiturs and idiotic bullshit.

Well, perhaps if Seabass didn't have their straightforward question about what you've actually posted serially ignored, dodged, batted away, and/or replied to with personalised irrelevancies (that can serve no purpose other than to antagonise) then things probably wouldn't have got out of hand. So why is the property damage caused during the US civil rights movement of the '60s OK when property damage during last year's civil rights protests weren't?

You know the suffragettes blew up railway lines and telegraph poles as well as hoiking bricks through the windows of their political opponents don't you? Did you know that a suffragette horse whipped Winston Churchil on the platform at Bristol Temple Meads railway station after he'd made a speech in Parliament opposing extending voting rights to women? What do you think of that?

Racism is not randomly scattered through all racial groups. In terms of real world effects, systemic racism against blacks in the US is very clear from statistics, as shown by Hermit...

Yabbut what about black nationalists!

Do you look at numbers for black nationalists as well? Brown?

Or are you only racist against 'whites'?

Would racial groups of other colours even warrant a mention? Or is it best if no-one examines your racist tendencies too closely?

If you define systemic racism, and what reasonable action would correct it, you won't find it hard to get agreement.

I'm pretty distrustful of people talking about it, while engaging in it. I think the phrase 'bigotry of low expectations' expresses why at one edge, while at the other, a tough-to-describe 'bigotry of high expectations' . Understanding that there is no WAY a Canadian citizen born in Grise Fjord can be said to have been given the same opportunities as the one born in Vancouver.

Disclaimer: That is just an example because I don't know the community, but appreciate how different it is for a kid who grows up where there is no doctor, school or cop.

I'm sorry I don't know comparable examples in your region, but I don't know if you have any. Basically, A kid growing up in that remote community, can end up being the fish judged on how it climbs a tree.

So your brilliant reasoning for why black people should shut up and endure all the racism is that some people are born in the boonies and short people are treated differently from tall people.

Hey Cunt, why is the property damage associated with the BLM movement unacceptable if the property damage that happened along side the black civil rights movement of the '60s was acceptable?

What makes me suspicious about those bleating on and on about racism, is that they only see certain colours as victims.

I apologise. I dismissed this claptrap as not worthy of response, but I've thought better of that.

'Certain colours' being discriminated against, in specific cases and systematically. That's exactly how racism works. Do you have some other concept of racism? You're suspicious of those who call out racism because they see and experience racism in action, eh? Are you also suspicious of those who observe that water is wet?

It's almost like they are judging victimhood based on race, or other immutable characteristics.

Again, people being discriminated against because of immutable characteristics that racists use to identify them is what racism is. You say you don't deny racism, but you appear to believe it's some sort of fictional horror story told by bleeding heart, pearl-clutching leftists.
