When redlining was in place there were 10,000 more banks than there are today. The racist policies were instituted by local banks. Do you really think jews would look out for a white protestant majority over profit?

Explain. This was back when middle class wages were growing faster than upper class wages. There were black nuclear families making median wages all over the midwest and California in the 1960s.

they didnt get the loans they wanted because their credit history was significantly crappier than similarly situated whites.

The outcome may be "racist" but it makes absolute financial sense and always has.

Aint nobody ever walking away from a chance to make money, son! Aint no bank turning down a loan at certain terms unless they HAVE to, son!

Redlining is bullshit--get redpilled on this for a minute or two.

Their credit history was similarly crappier because they just moved up from Alabama and had only had the union job for a year or two. The bosses literally drew lines and said NO BLACKS get loans for this area, so unless they had cash they didn't get a loan no matter how much better their financials were than whites.

Do you think the average 1960s black father of two was the same as the average 2018 black father of two who regularly hires Spaceporn?

redlining makes utter and complete financial sense.

Blacks are WAAAY more likely to default on their loans. En Masse. I think recent history speaks to this as well.

Western Civ is just too darn hard for most blacks to make it on their own.

who knows whether it was or wasnt then?

Its a serious subject and the redpill clear answer is redlining should happen if the playing field were balanced but its not so even the threat of being accused of redlining forces banks to settle such allegations and walk as fine a fine line as they can in light of their fiduciary obligations to their shareholders and the obvious decades on data on who is more likely to default.

So why ASSUME it's "RACISM"?!?!? Why not entertain any number of other possible causative factors first?

Because cries of RACISM are nothing more than cries for "GIMME MOAR!" in the modern world.

Fact: Blacks are waaaay more likely to default on a mortgage set at the same rates and terms as whites.

and no one can show me the data to indicate that this was different at some prior point.

Aint no getting around that, son.

Redlining at least if it WERE happening today, would make absolute rational sense by any measure other than some humane ones about giving blacks some extra bennies.

Welp, let's see what those criteria are, and how accurately they gauge lending risk, particularly in comparison to criteria that expressly factor race into the equation.

something tells me far and away race--that impermissible factor--is far and away going to give the greatest predictive accuracy for who is going to default on a home loan.

I think the former. I'm watching the Frontline documentary on Dayton, and that combined with many, many other examples show how the obviously racist policies of the 1960s and 1970s exacerbated or even created our current racial problems. If society had been prepared to welcome the most talented and best african-americans into the elite in 1960 then many many more blacks would have a dedicated stake in the American system as it would exist today.

But if you were to accept the best of the best into the elite, wouldn't that cause them to buy into the elite? Instead we end up with ghettos where obviously talented, hard-working blacks are forced to live. And they recognize the reality of the system and they agitate against the status quo.

Malcolm X could have been a rainmaker at Sullivan Cromwell if the system had welcomed him.

You don't seriously believe this, right? Yes, Malcolm X could have been the first man on the moon as well.

How many years has that argument about talented, hard-working blacks being trapped in these communities been part of the national discourse? 35 or so years? Any measure of elite status (college admissions, number of MD/JDs, corporate board seats) over that period will show an increase in black people. There are tons of charter schools now, even in shit neighborhoods - any talented black kid will end up in one of those. I think upward social mobility among blacks has accelerated since the 90s but has basically peaked. I don't think there are many more hidden black Einsteins who aren't already running the table at ivy admissions.

okay, let's do the debating society thing where we take a proposition and defend it to the hilt. the first thing i'd look at is what happened once redlining STOPPED. in other words, are things BETTER for "blacks" as a group today than they were in the 1940's and 50's? murder rates are certainly a lot higher, along with some other negative indicators. that suggests that the story is more complex than "redlining = evil" and "not redlining = good."

Yeah, I'd agree with that. It's all multi-factor. I think redlining played a role in the ghettoization of blacks that didn't have to exist at that moment in history where blacks moving out the south (i.e., the best and brightest) were seeking the American dream.
