University of New Mexico: UNM researcher uses social media to map public perceptions of redlining across the U.S. . “A new study from The University of New Mexico offers a nationwide look at how Americans discuss one of the most enduring forms of housing discrimination — redlining — using more than a decade of social media data.”

I have a conspiracy theory I believe in that I have no solid evidence for.

People talk about China and their Social Credit System where they watch you all the time?

We have that already in the US but no one talks about it.

There is a digital caste system that is being applied, even here in the US.

It is digital "redlining" segregating certain people into poverty and certain people into the "management classes" all to support the Oligarchy.

Neighborhoods with trees are healthier, cooler, and safer. Black & Brown neighborhoods are more likely to lack tress. That is systemic racism. The harm of redlining isn't only historical, it continues to this day.

One of the many harmful legacies of redlining is inequity in neighborhood tree coverage:

“Tree equity: Who gets trees in their neighborhood?

Why are some neighborhoods so much greener than others? ... It turns out that neighborhoods that were historically redlined in the ‘30s and ‘40s live today with only half the tree cover of their "greenlined" neighborhood counterparts.”

I-75, I-85 & I-20 are racist and a continuation of colonialism.

Redlining was the geofencing.

I can’t imagine why SCOTUS justices would find affirmative action for people of color “unconstitutional.” It’s been “constitutional” for Whites for well over two centuries.

Exploring #WestHartford data from the 2023 Greater #Hartford Community #Wellbeing Index: https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/west-hartford-ct-data-haven-well-being-survey-17853739.php

It's helpful to acknowledge factors that contribute to quality of life, like intergenerational wealth. As @jackdougherty has shown, local wealth accumulation relates back to rules that prohibited Black people from living in large areas of #WeHa. (see https://ontheline.trincoll.edu/restricting.html, and #redlining data/maps in the previous 2019 edition of our CWI).

I designed a lesson exploring how systemic inequality has shaped communities, using redlining maps and the 1940 Census. It’s a powerful way for students to connect history with personal narratives and understand the impact of policy on people’s lives.

Great work.

#Reparations, in part, means addressing #FederalGovernment policies that gave financial assistance, guarantees, and advantages via the #NewDeal and post-war #VA benefits explicitly to white people, creating the #American #MiddleClass and its legacy of #GenerationalWealth, while denying the same, then and now, to #Black people.

#Redlining, created by the Federal government as a #segregationist tool, still underlies all financing, including credit scores and home loans.
