Reply to comment by Moont1de in For most Americans, housing was a key component in personal wealth accumulation. However, racist housing policies eroded black wealth in pre-WWII American cities. Black families paid a 28% premium to buy a home on a majority white block, after which their homes lost 10% of their value. by smurfyjenkins

It means believing that a certain race is inferior, and politically it means keeping people off that race from having any power or getting any benefit from government. Using the government to oppress them has always been systemic racism.

“Keeping that people from having any power” is literally “using the government to opress them”
