Thank you, Kevin, for providing exactly the kind of response that proves my point. You start out denying the existence of any kind of special white status, then go on to describe how you’re being discriminated against, all the while as a group holding all the power.

My article is flawed only because of all I left out. I could have written a whole book on homeownership alone. (Maybe I will). The entire middle-class was created by establishing Veterans Loans and FHA Housing which were offered almost exclusively to white people. Redlining and steering forced the few that could get loans to live in less-valued neighborhoods. Today, and I mean 2022, a Black-owned home in any neighborhood will appraise for less if any sign exists that a Black family lives there.

You, Kevin, are exactly the kind of white person whining I was describing. I am including your quote to others in the story so you don’t feel left out. Whine on!
