The redlining map is a poor indicator for how much tax an area brings. For example, in San Diego, almost all of the highest value per acre areas were deemed "definitely declining". The green and blue areas just pissed away all those low interest loans on pools and palm trees.
Did you know? The government drew maps deciding which Americans could build wealth. They colored Black neighborhoods red.
Federal homeownership maps graded neighborhoods for mortgage lending. Black areas were marked 'hazardous' no matter how stable. No mortgage, no home. No home, no equity. No equity, nothing to pass down.
The wealth gap you see today was drawn by hand, on paper, by officials. We put the maps and the proof in our book — 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For. Link below https://t.co/V6OJtayKnF
@OGBlackRedGuard Here in SD, Chinese immigrants owned the fishing businesses so the Catholics (Portuguese and Italians) used the Chinese Exclusion Act to force the Chinese out of the business. The ruins of the old Chinese fishing town became the Convention Center which is hosting Comic-Con now.
It's surreal cuz in Shanghai you're beginning to see all these meetings happening where the old people yell at gov officials against bike lanes, schools, etc. (not sure what they would say about hospitals though). The social conditions determines one's consciousness.
we need some kind of enrichment program for seniors so they can occupy themselves with something better than attending meetings to whine and complain
gotta funnel this energy somewhere productive
I just don’t agree with this sentiment. @NYCMayor@ZohranKMamdani made an excellent statement, unprecedented in US politics. It sets a standard for other politicians worldwide. Yes it’s worth celebrating and at the same time we must always keep pushing him and others for more.
@xspotsdamark Afaik it was heavily related to white people tearing down public swimming schools post-integration, which blocked black ppl access to swimming.
I'll tell Breaking Points "Leftoids" what Russia did to the peoples of Asia and they'll tell me "there was no civilization there". And they wonder how can anyone support genocide?
@MaitreyaBhakal Today I learned that FLOCK cameras and ICE are bad but Hikvision setting up all the cameras on the Apartheid Wall and Triads beating up Hongkongers are good. I wait in enthusiasm to see what else I will learn about China from "the left".
Don't whine about fire insurance rates. Insurance companies do not lie about fire risks cuz they will lose money if they do. You should also look closely at your neighborhood ads. They tell you much more than what their "leaders" will say about what the neighborhood wants .
"721 篡改歷史 指鹿為馬" - Today marks the 7th Anniversary of the 721 Incident. On this night in 2019, a pro-CCP mob affiliated with the local mob surrounded and forced their way into Yuen Long subway station, viciously and indiscriminately attacking anyone they could find.

Shanghai replaced the wide sidewalks with extra car lanes so the new ruling class could plow their cars through the streets. Shanghai got more congested as a result.
Look man just like you ain't no American citizen if you can't describe how OJ Simpson led to Kim Kardashian, you should be banned from discussing China unless you can describe how Qian Xuesen led to Falungong.
