I remember when Black people had their own "banks" in urban America. I haven't read the book, but will say this: Black banks went out of business (and also credit unions, most of them attached to churches) because black people didn't pay back their loans. There were a lot of bankruptcies and collections. I was in collections for a retailer and all the collections were black women who had good jobs, but who over spent. Now that there is a online payment system, and there are peer to peer loans, black people don't need to rely on banks for loans. There are ways of getting money working vs. banks. People like the author want to always bring up what happened decades ago. She should talk about "today" and the ways people get money.

Great show indeed. However it neglects to figure inn the majority of white families... who have little to nothing. Information can be translated into whatever anyone wants it to be my friend. Yes there are big realities concerning black Americans having financial issues. Yet you cannot build credit on social programs. As a white male I have had to spend 10 years building my Credit and saving before have enough of a down payment and the credit to get approved for a mortgage. I had many banks refuse me any help or loans.... And then I have had the privilege of working my ass off 80 hours a week doing what ever I can to pay $4,800 in bills per month.. health care alone for my family is $1,800 per month. And I worked through 7 years of college and never received a penny from the government or my poor parents. Today my family no longer lives in a house because it’s to expensive. We live in a three room apt for past 8 years. I have a bachelors degree and my wife has a masters degree. I short my life sucks. And you will all find out that this life is not easy and not free. No matter your color there are those who have and those who do not have. I can’t wait for Black American to rise up and live the life I live. A life of slave labor and zero privilege. Then and only then will black Americans realize the American dream not is the world fare. Blacks Americans will realize how hard so many work each and every day to survive. Many would beg for welfare and social help after a few years of what many do. This is why so many cry out for socialism. Freedom is just to hard for most. Yes we need to end racism... yet this will only happen through mutual respect and love.

@@dubbz1 of course. That's the problem with the uncomfortable truth. Societies lie to the public because if they told the truth they'd be torn limb from limb. Not that those in power normally suffer from too much honesty. I think it's a mutual understanding (in a sense subconscious- but still understood) that the govt. will do the dirty work that the people want done. Unfortunately, we have a situation where the govt. and most if not all of the institutions are fulfilling a need that the majority of the public no longer wants done. Puts the govt/ institutions at odds with the public they're supposed to be representing. Trump should have no problem with it, but his inherent nihilism is undermining the biased society he should be strengthening. Kind of funny, in a twisted way. The racist undermining policies he would support if he were aware of them. Fortunately, learning is never on his " to do" list, but unraveling the fabric of our democracy is. The question will be, unless the american people are so monumentally stupid they allow Trump another 4 tears to completely take control of the Justice Dept. and establish himself as a dictator, how do we excise a fundamental way of thinking from a society that is founded on that thought process? It's been pointed out that there is a large ideological rift between the baby boomers and their children and grandchildren. Shortly the younger people coming into power will be faced with operating a society who's institutions are unable to reflect or act upon the new values that are in ascension.

I'll get her book. A lot of what she is talking about is in the book The Color of Law.

Many aspiring upper lower-income whites who I knew in the 60's and 70's also bought in to the idea that allowing a Black family buy a house into their neighborhood would drive down the worth (selling price) of their property. I, as a young man, saw this happen in the neighborhood in which I lived. After the new money was enticed, sometimes from great distances away, to the bank-controlled area, they realized that their short term evaluations of property would be going up if the gentrification proceeded as planned. This caused even greater racial discrimination in the bank-lending policies, leading to greater reticence from the whites. The banks buying up property and selling this at in this way artificially bolstered prices had great economic reason to do so as there is no limit to the possible profit margin or institution of mechanisms of encouragement to serve the community (and its unalienable definition). To attract dollar-strong "investors" from outside the community who would then drive up prices of other bank-owned property, banks promoted this racist thought and investment thus securing high return in their customer's investment and security for their own speculation. As soon as we allow residential areas to behave as if they are speculation zones in which riches are to be made instead of areas seeking to better satisfy the needs of the already residents and those of the existing community, we've laid the groundwork for an exorbitant change in a community's ethnicity. A more recent example is San Francisco where the rocketing increase of rent prices and low bank-investment for ethnic safeguarding forced the ethnicity there to change, drastically. I know of two Bodego owners forced illegally out of business - without recourse - and many neighbors of mine forced out by the landlord by torture-tactics (turning off the heat in the winter, not allowing visitors to come in to the house, delaying services, water etc.) enabling them to cheaply "dispose" of lower-income tenants in this gentrifying neighborhood, re-organize the dwelling and selling the apartments then at a huge mark-up as investments for young professionals. This was the area called Park Slope in Brooklyn. The discussion with the Bodego owners and Korean-American vegetable store renters first made me aware of this, though I was much too young to fathom how profound the changes were to become. It hit home when my favorite pub and shopping-center closed and little restaurants sprouted up which were too expensive for me. Residential areas must be protected from speculation and investments in these communities must be commensurate with the needs of the already existing community. Putting a number on it of 85% with 3-4% profit margin, 5% risk-margin and 5% outside investment. This is just a model.

So true. Gentrification is a euphemistic term for eminent domain. Instead of building a highway through your property they get outside investors to buy up property around you to squeeze you out by increasing your property taxes. The only appreciation in property value is when they are trying to get you to sell , if not they force you out by increasing the property value around you. If and when you get behind in paying your taxes they will send Mr. Charlie...oops. 😂 I mean the master commissioner to seize your property and sell it for pennies on the dollar.

Only Eminent domain is a state-protected right and gentrification is "purely" commercial - if one can separate the two, at all. The book and its movie with Henry Fonda "Salt of the Earth" exposed to us so much of this. The idea that the institution which has lent me money will, after a fashion, squeeze me out in order to re-possess the property in order to re-sell to another debter at more lucrative conditions is so very repulsive. One is at the mercy of creditors who have neither interest in their investments' success nor have a caring for the debtors who build their lives around these investments.

The reason for folks to study African American history is the same reason that an African would study Asian or European history because we are living as human being with the same experience of survival and thriving, with very interesting expressions.

"The Color of Law": A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein supports some of the contents in this presentation.

We have postal banking in France for a long time. Great idea

The racial wealth gap has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not there are minority banks, and everything to do with the debt cycle which in large part is based upon improper, and disproportionate, taxation. What happens is that money is taken, inappropriately, from individuals through income and payroll taxes, then those persons are offered credit, usually at much higher rates than their rich counterparts, which locks them into a debt cycle that they have no possibility of freeing themselves from. These taxes and interest on debt are disproportionately paid by the poorest, whereas the richest pay little or no personal taxes, and their interest rates are low and in some cases zero! When a poor person buys a house, they pay 3 times for that house because of taxes and interest, but when a rich person buys a house they only pay property taxes, which in some cases can be negotiated, and they even may pay less than market value for the house because of market conditions, but the rich will never pay three times for that house that the poor will be required to pay.

Thank you for this insightful report. As someone from England, i hadn't really noticed that the black communities were segregated by the banks as well as by housing. When the Caribbeans came to England to work they could go to banks but they didn't trust them with their money, so they gathered together and formed groups who pooled their money together, so they knew where and how to get it back and not be afraid to try and buy property or help out other family members or others in the community. Some still do it today. They call it Pardner. Also, with our banking system there aren't that many banks, so we can move money easily and switch to another bank if one isn't performing very well. It's now done mostly online or with contact-less, so you don't need to actually use paper money.

I've been black all my life and have managed to maintain several brick/mortar and online bank accounts (never an issue). The notion that we're going to construct some alterative black pseudo-banking system to serve the unbanked will never get off the ground. In 2020 the issue here isn't that there aren't banks available in or near many of our neighborhoods, it's that many CHOOSE to be unbanked to avoid garnishments on debts and other financial encumbrances. I would love to see us work harder at resolving the true socioeconomic issues (both internal and external) that have plagued our communities rather than contemplating band-aid postal banking solutions. The true solutions are multifaceted and uncomfortable for many to discuss, but its the only way meaningful progress can be made.

I wish people would speak with more specificity when it comes to race. The "myth" that she talks about when she refers to American capitalism is the one that was planted in the minds of, and perpetrated by white people. Black people always have known the nature of the beast that we are dealing with. All of these books about diversity, racism, injustice, anti-blackness, racial wealth gaps and all of the other gaps are primarily written for white folk. The real data has been written on the bodies of black people for centuries and nobody has cared to read it. We also think that we have to crush these myths before we go forward. Not true...white folks need to crush these myths if they want to join the rest of the human race, however the path to racial justice does not have to go through them, and we don't have to wait until they get of the couch, get therapy, or find the right book to create a semblance of empathy in themselves to bring the world to fruition that WE want to see. Ugh...

There has never been or can be capitalism in America. Murder and slavery clearly tell you that you do not have capitalism. What you do have is slavery, welfare, and monopoly. In order to have capitalism, you have to have character, fairness, and intelligence and then allow markets to dictate supply and demand and profit. But we have none of that.
