White America used everything including law enforcement, federal, local, and state policy, unions, infrastructure construction, and more to purposely prevent people of color from having a path to homeownership and wealth generated by equity for over a century....
and then have the nerve to pretend that they don't understand how race is possibly involved in income inequality and poverty...its insane. White Americans have this crazy ability to pretend that everyone started out in this country on equal footing and entirely ignore history.
One group of people in this country controlled access to resources and wealth and openly discriminated against and prevented others from sharing...so after benefitting from decades of access to equity and land ownership and higher wages and better jobs...then ask why talk race?
