It's a great book and available in Audible. Here Mr. Rothstein speaks mostly on the primary theme of the book which is federal housing policy. The book however also addresses, banking and insurance policy, school and union policy. Also very informative. Not so much on healthcare, penal and voter policy which is better presented elsewhere. Highly recommend the book.

Thank you. I ordered the book today. Looking forward to educating myself on his findings.

I love these types of conversations, conversations that actually make us think about how we have the world we have now, and what can be done to make it better, I just wish those who cant understand honest dialogue stop watching them and posting their BS in the conversation they add nothing to the conversation at all.

Upsetting to hear this type of thing still happens today.

@@jocelynkelly3294 Peace. Be mad, but I propose that you don't just stay mad. Question the laws that are still on the books that have and still affect Black people by contact local, state and federal government. Have conversations yourself and your family and friends about this and other issues. It is a start. Start a petition that the old language be deleted and changed so that Black folks will be treated fairly going forward. If the rules of government do not change THEN institutional racism will continue because it is part of "our" government's infrastructure. Just a suggestion. Wishing you the best of health and happiness!

I read the book and it exacerbated my anger. I was aware of many of the historical facts in the book.

I grew-up in the SF South Bay (Santa Clara & San Jose) and the notion of the SF Bay Area as being liberal and modern is a phenomenon that started somewhere in the late 80s. Prior to that, I encountered a good bit of racial animus (I came from S. Korea in late 70s). Now I am not trying to claim anything and I am happy with my experiences in the SF Bay Area for the most part, but I just wanted to provide another anecdote to dis-spell the notion that the SF Bay Area was some liberal utopia where everything was fine and dandy. It wasn't. Things change, but it takes time, decades and decades.

I'm definitely going to read this book.

Great talk!

Thankful for this, learned a lot. Watching things like this are both rewarding and disappointing. Rewarding in that I’m now aware of a very important piece of history and disappointing in that I’ve never really come across anything remotely close to an explanation this in school. Just another example of how our education system blatantly skims over so many important issues that affect people of color.

Greetings, Jonathan. Our education system not only skimmed over much critical information and issues, but omitted by choice to keep people of African descent from knowing this info and keeping us ignorant of our ancient history and contributions to civilization and world history which leaves us in an ongoing identity crisis and the whole world looks at us as less than and we start to feel less than. Imagine starting one's life not really knowing their history? Also, check out "Zegeist: The Movie." It is important to better understand how organized religion, specifically, Christianity and the Vatican's role in history as it relates to African and African descendants. Our education in part was meant to groom us to be worker bees not critical thinkers. Be sure to share what you learn as opposed to what you/we were taught. Wishing you the best as you continue to be awakened. Best, Nefertiti

36:32 disgraceful stuff.

It is bizarre that in France for young people and families homeowners will prefer someone that is eligible for government rent help cause he/she will always have “smaller” rent to pay. I would prefer someone that owes me 300€ after the gov help then someone that owes me 600€. And often the money is directly transferred to the owner from the gov.

Fascinating.

Great watch. Bristling at the injustice. The story starting at 47:47 broke me: such a waste of human potential.

Great

@E, its not that government is bad because its not, its just that when people come into government they bring in their biases and sooner or later their biases creep into government policy. Creating housing is not a bad thing, creating housing using tax money from every US citizens and writing policy to exclude certain citizens is a bad thing. and that is what the man is talking about, regulations aren't bad per se, but creating regulations that favor one corporation over another, or giving a profitable corporation or industry government subsidies, but excluding start up business or industry no economic help is a bad thing. please tell me how these particular concepts are lost on you?

Rothstein conveniently forgets about all the failed attempts to integrate urban areas in the 1960s and 1970s. School bussing, blockbusting, etc. All it succeeded in was driving working-class whites out of the inner cities and into the suburbs. Formerly all-white neighborhoods were quickly changed to all-black neighborhoods. Poorer whites had to take pennies on the dollar for their homes in collapsing neighborhoods, and then move to the surrounding more expensive suburbs to keep their families safe. Rothstein, of course, wouldn't know much about that since he's never lived in the hood.

He talks about all that in the book!

As life would have it, greed has no bounds. The true middle class WAS mostly "White", and is now nearly non-existent. America is in deep debt, has been reduced to being the United States Corporation, being absolutely owned and run by International Bankers. Segregation is a past-time delicacy. The current ever growing trend is literally "on the street Tent Living", with little to no choice of who your actual neighbor may be, or could be. The luxury of gentrification, disdain, and discrimination is rather foolish when eating and showering with the general population at the nearest shelter. This particular delimma is not a black/white issue, but a condition of a fallen nation. While fighting each other, we somehow took our attention from the government's SOLE responsibility to protect our inalienable rights. We have acquiesed in silent satisfaction to being re-made as a government created straw man, corporation, and 14th Amendment "person", in lieu of being a living flesh and blood human being. We have only ourselves to blame, and only, we the people, can legally right ourselves by abolishing a government who is proven inadequate to protect our natural rights, upon which this nation is established.

It’s hilarious how people are just finding out about this. Americas apathy will be its downfall.
