What Is Systemic Racism? - Housing Discrimination

What would you call it if lifetimes of legal segregation followed by decades of pervasive racist housing policies still, to this day, disadvantage Black people in almost every aspect of life, because where you live can decide everything from how safe you are, to what food you eat, to the quality of your health care to the quality of your job, to the quality of your children's education?

"What Is Systemic Racism?" is an 8-part video series that shows how racism shows up in our lives across institutions and society: Wealth Gap, Employment, Housing Discrimination, Government Surveillance, Incarceration, Drug Arrests, Immigration Arrests, Infant Mortality (. . . yes), systemic racism is really a thing.

Featuring Jay Smooth, produced by Kat Lazo.

Went to the site to look for some facts behind "decades of pervasive housing policies". These are the type of racists that thing the word "illegal" to describe the status of someone who is in a country illegally is dehumanizing. You expect respect with that type of ignorance?

Most Americans are angel believing idiots
