@ashleytheebarroness: White families were scared into leaving. Black families were overcharged when they came in. And somehow Black people still ended up carrying the blame for what happened to the neighborhood. That part pisses me off. Because the people who created the panic got rich, and Black people got stuck with the reputation. #BlackHistory #americanhistory #reparations #historytok #fyp
I met Clyde Ross working with Robin Hood and Acorn....He was an amazing kind man that fought for Social justice until the day he died

I really enjoy your content and I wish I can get someone to talk about Mexican-American history of the way that you speak about black American history. We need to remember these things and we need to know the atrocities that happened.

The original mortgage documents for the loan on my house, which was built in the 50’s, states no color people. I was shocked to see this statement but not surprised as the neighbor is still predominantly white. 🤷♀️

My parents sold in Chicago at a loss during the "white flight" when I was 9. I loved all my multicolored multicultural friends and neighbors so much, I loved everything about my neighborhood on the west side of Chicago. I was inconsolable and angry that my parents were so racist. It was all so much stupid unnecessary trauma.

First I love your content, it’s top tier. Second, all of this continues to happen to this day and people will try gaslight by saying that not everything is about race. Yes it is.

Sarah from up north :
they are still doing it today in Chicago. we have still have communities on the south and west sides that are 85% black, but only 15% black ownership. Even worst, we are barely able to get around the red tape of being business owners in our communities, while organizations like United way zone us as Food deserts only, meaning they won't fund nonprofits to provide other services like Art, Healthcare, Workforce Development....
