i hadn't even realized 'redlining' was fake until I read the 2021 fishback paper. what convinced me was not only the strength of their evidence, but the incredible way they dishonestly downplayed the importance of their own findings even as they promoted them. it was so wild

i have watched absolutely atrocious 'redlining' stories get forged, shopped around by unconscionable academic economists, repackaged, and used by corps for PR and for government relations management

however cynical you are its not enough

anyway tho i am curious abt blockbusting

'If you think people benefit from not being denied access to housing you're pathetic asf I'm sorry'

My man is coming out in defense of redlining lmao.

another reason i am skeptical of these stories is that they seem likely, like narratives about how redlining in the early 20C causes black people to murder at 4x their share of the population, to be complete garbage, epistemically speaking, and generally politically motivated

John Fugelsang Absolutely true. Indicted for redlining his properties to keep out minorities. Pleaded guilty, settled, then came out and said he won. Even then a lying 💩

Redlining Gaslighting Gatekeeping

Ya Boy💯🐕 𝕴𝖓𝖋𝖊𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖗𝖎𝖝 𝕾𝖔𝖕𝖍𝖎𝖆🦂🥛 Redlining and segregation being a privilege actually is not the hill I'd think you would take but I guess birthday Boys are full of surprises today

Immigrants are the primary beneficiaries of redlining and anti Negro economic apartheid. Of course your income AND remittances should be taxed and contribute to BANF reparations

I’ve been behind reparations. It’s an individual choice. The government participated in harms and I believe they need to pay for them. I have living parents that went through Jim Crow and Redlining that affected my family’s trajectory and equity outcomes.

People in the comments are like 'This is why voting MATTERS' as if gerrymandering, redlining & party switching hasn't been rampant this past decade

The Evil Dad BDMII Do you not know what Redlining is? Its entire purpose is discriminatory. There’s no exception to that.

'You're redlining' - ☝️🤓

Gunther Eagleman™ My sixteen year old just told me this is called “redlining” and that it’s completely acceptable if you’re black because “in-like the 1920’s even if blacks acted like whites, they were treated badly.” No, I’m not kidding, this is what TikTok is teaching our kids.

Eric Metaxas It’s not even debatable. Redlining is a part of history 🤦🏼

ECONOMIC REDLINING ‼️

Now these white folks wanna be mad about the effects of historical segregation and redlining 😂

Perhaps we can point out where credit is due:
Jim Crow
Redlining
Voter suppression
Police profiling
Discriminatory hiring, lending, and healthcare practices
Failed equality in application of the GI Bill
Public school funding

It’s called systemic oppression… and as far as African migrants they are usually the best of the best. Well educated, have money and their families didn’t endure the traumas of Jim Crow, Redlining, and overall segregation

Joesph Blockberg Frank Compote James T Carter TryAgainSweaty kimidunnfishman.bsky.social newts in bio So you support redlining and urban blight?
