She is really making her way through the who’s who of Black Studies, isn’t she?

His book, The Color of Law, is a phenomenal read. It breaks down everything and by the end it's clear we need reparations.

Stephanie Drake it’s a lot more empowering to tell yourself you have control of your life. Even if it is a illusion. I’m a Mexican woman first generation American and I’m not about to say “oh it’s a matrix of white supremacists that control my reality and nothing is in my control” I make it happen through my actions.

I was amazed, when I first read The Color of Law. It informed me of how we got to this point. How the institution is structured to discriminate. White racism is a structured, it is written into the laws, RIGHT NOW, that hold black people back, down and under.

cdrillbeatgames he’s a troll . The content of the video is above what he is able to comprehend. Give him a second to get through Green Eggs and Ham.

So, so happy you're talking about this because this looming eviction crisis was orchestrated: no affordable housing in predominantly white neighborhoods. Section 8 vouchers are entirely useless if no one will take them. Public housing hasn't been built since forever. Wage stagnation making housing unaffordable to those living on a minimum wage, and even those earning more who still make less than what housing costs. All of this is coming to the forefront. I just really wish it didn't take people being on the street during a pandemic for it to happen.

Great comment ! Of course it’s all purposeful

As an Urban Planner, I thank you for brining this conversation to your platform.

I distinctly remember learning about Levittown, and even reading some cases related to Levittown in law school, and it was NEVER discussed in these terms. Thank you, Kimberly, for this work. It is so important.

Praying you get a bigger platform/more awareness. You are awesome for bringing these awesome people on this channel!

Kim, thank you SO MUCH for this video. I keep needing to point this out when discussing financial literacy and wealth disparities being directly connected to racist policies of the past and present. We are not in a vacuum yet many want to believe we are to be able to place blame on the very victims of the system. All of this is connected and generational poverty for blacks was never a choice.

Yes! The Financial Diet just did a video on the impact of systemic racism’s black wealth. Think it was mostly well-received, but a handful of commenters didn’t see how a macro-eco, racial politics discussion was in their lane as a personal finance channel.

Whenever you hear someone placing the blame for the struggles of a group of people on the individual rather than the system, know that you’re being gaslighted. That’s a classic ploy of the elite to ensure that the system that serves them is supported by enough of the population to keep that system in place.

He made some really great points in support of affirmative action in housing. My favorite: white people received race-based housing benefits for generations that allowed them to generate wealth and financial stability... which during a crisis like the current one (or 2008, for that matter), means they're far more resistant to being completely wiped out financially. Add on top of that the regressive policies enacted to make it more difficult for Black Americans to own homes, and the predatory lending practices of banks, and it's no wonder why things are the way they are. He did a great job of drawing a line from the past to the present, which I think is something that we need to do more often with history. Our current circumstances didn't come out of nowhere, and the more we learn about why and how decisions were made in the past, the more we can do to make things more equitable and fair in the future. Great interview!

Saw a clip of Rothenstein making the social media rounds and was so intrigued with his assessment of housing discrimination. I’ve always been a proponent of reparations coming in the form of housing, among other things. This was an awesome discussion. Thanks once again for putting great thinkers on your channel!

His book is on my reading list but I am so glad you did this interview. Thanks, Kimberly!

I think some of this discussion is about environmental justice but that word never is specifically mentioned.

Excellent interview. Definitely learned a lot. and will be getting a copy of his book.

I was listening very closely but raised a brow at the point that Black children are struggling due to factors unrelated to the quality of education and lack of access, which causes them to perform lower. Also making the point that schools in predominantly Black low-income neighborhoods receive more funding is VERY questionable. Despite that, thank you so much for this video Kim. This video was necessary as housing discrimination is often left out in the conversation of fueling racial discrimination. Thank you Mr. Rothstein for the Color of Law as well.

They sometimes receive more FEDERAL funding. However, schools are PREDOMINATELY funded by the (local) property tax base. So, while they may receive more in federal funding, that may make up only 10-20% of the overall funding. The point he made about the other reasons for poor performance are apt. How can you perform well when you're not eating a nutritious breakfast, or because you're mother has to work outside of the home at all hours due to so called welfare "reform?" & therefore can't help you with your homework?

Kim you are doing important work, thoughtful and well educated interviews

Thank you for shining a spotlight on this issue. Misinformation and misdirection is a powerful weapon used to propagate systematic racism.

Our girl Kim is not fucking around

And then one day, for no reason at all...

Amazing thank you for this!

this whole discussion basically sums up the city where i live. this is st.louis. housing, education, and class are so intertwined here it is ridiculous. if you are a stl louis native or if you come to stl, the first question we ask is “where did you go to school?” this tells us so much about your family, income, neighborhood, etc. i’ve actually wrote about this and making friendships in my communications class lol.

So so glad you had him on. I already had some cursory knowledge about the history of segregation, but his book was a revelation.

Kim, thank you for having Rothenstein as an interview guest. Such an important voice!

I’m not sure I agree that the reasons Black people might be less likely to appeal property tax assessments and other de facto or de jure discriminatory practices is due to an education gap. I’m thinking this is due to distrust of a discriminatory legal system plus lack of wealth (in the form of both time & money) required to go through appeal & other legal processes.

Great interview. I've got to read his book.

A few ways. Certain guests (the most famous ones like Rothstein) don't regard Kim as highly as she does them. For example, Professor Rothstein seemed annoyed when Kim asked him to answer a question which might refer to one of his earlier answers. The way he said "as I said earlier" seemed out of place for an environment which was nothing short of celebratory for him. Kim creates a really welcoming environment for guests like Rothstein despite the mountain of work she has to do and it just feels like guests take that space and respond to it with clout. It just seems really jarring at the very least.

LiAna Curry-De Salas I think it has more to do with connection or vibe. He's an old white man who I was getting "racially animus" energy from. You know white folk (esp white men) are naturally less welcoming, less warm, less empathetic to the day to day experiences of marginalized individuals, although he understands the systematic structure of black oppression. He's still playing his role because he can and he's old.

Just watched this and it was really excellent.

(Also ties in well with The Color of Money, by Mehrsa Baradaran , which I read a few months ago - about Black banking - if anyone has interest in that topic).
