Reply to comment by IdlyCurious 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

Completely over as in “it’s not a law anymore”. Not completely over as in “racism no longer exists”. Racism will probably always exist given how stupid humans are.

As a non-white, I say the biggest issue holding back another non-white here in the US is our propensity for blaming our issues on others and failing to take responsibility for our own choices and actions.

The racism both of my non-white parents experienced along with their parents before them have basically nothing to do with how successful or unsuccessful I am today.
