Can we not agree on that? I accept that there were issues affecting granny, but for Tyler, 45, it is a different rulebook.

From the article:

"The Minnesota Legislature prohibited the use of racial restrictions in warranty deeds in 1953. But covenants remained commonplace in much of the nation until 1968, when the Fair Housing Act made them explicitly illegal."


1968 Miles.......... 1968.

Maybe a lifetime ago to you..... but certainly recent enough to represent not decades, but CENTURIES of discrimination on something as important as home ownership.

Now..... if you can't see how this is proof enough of the damage done to the black community over time, and the effect it still has on the proportions of home ownership in America......... I don't know what else to say to you.
