Thanks to Child & Teen Checkup, we have a whole host of bonus episodes this month focusing on black history, written by SVP.

We're kicking it off with something rather serious, but extremely important for contextualizing a lot of the problems we're looking at now in 2021.

Redlining - Income and Housing Inequality - Extra History

Thank you to Child & Teen Checkups. If you live in Minnesota, learn more at http://U21checkups.com. If you don’t, check here: https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/benefits/epsdt/index.html Redlining has come up often in our discussions of systemic racism in the last year and a half but it's poorly understood by folks who never have had to face economic discrimination. Worse, some people believe that the effects of redlining were ended as soon as the practice was outlawed in 1968. But it isn't that simple. Redlining is an octopus with many tentacles and housing discrimination is just the beginning. We take a look at the history of redlining to understand how it impacts the present and how folks like George Morrison & Daisy Myers fought against the system.

That hurts to watch, but it's really important to know. Good work on the video!

I'm glad to see this getting covered. Redlining and its consequences need to be better known.

The critical takeaway is that just removing redlining doesn't fix the problem. Poor neighborhoods still have no money flowing through them, so any improvements will come slowly. Black neighborhoods could potentially build wealth by keeping money within a neighborhood, but the EC video on Tulsa shows what happens when they try.

Adding at 5:40 that increasingly activists refer to "what the department of agriculture class 'food deserts'" as 'food apartheids' to underscore the intentional systemic causes of this lack of access to food as opposed to the natural connotation of the word desert, would help listeners better understand the racist octopus and would help popularize the 'food apartheid' terminology.

Just emailed the link to the church I've been attending, telling them to get off their fat, mostly white asses and make "justice, quickly" happen, for a change.
