I said "I think", i.e. asserting a possibility or opinion. Then you change it to "know", as in asserting a fact. This is one of the deceptions the MSM and politicians use: Change what somebody says then attack it. One of the tools to split the population and keep them fighting each other. More famous examples are that Trump said to drink Clorox and inject Lysol.

Why is it that black cops are more likely to shoot a black person than a white cop....just curious?
What is redlining?
For decades, many banks in the U.S. denied mortgages to people, mostly people of color in urban areas, preventing them from buying a home in certain neighborhoods or getting a loan to renovate their house. The practice — once backed by the U.S. government — started in the 1930s and took place across the country. That includes in many of the nation's largest cities, such as Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Tampa and others with large minority populations.
As a result, banks and other mortgage lenders commonly rejected loans for creditworthy borrowers based strictly on their race or where they lived. As part of that practice, financial firms, real estate agents and other parties demarcated geographic areas that were effectively off limits for issuing loans.
Scholars who study housing discrimination point to redlining as one factor behind the gulf in wealth between blacks and whites in the U.S. today. Black families have lost out on at least $212,000 in personal wealth over the last 40 years because their home was redlined, said real estate app Redfin.
In 1933, faced with a housing shortage, the federal government began a program explicitly designed to increase — and segregate — America's housing stock. Author Richard Rothstein says the housing programs begun under the New Deal were tantamount to a "state-sponsored system of segregation."
Historian Says Don't 'Sanitize' How Our Government Created Ghettos
The government's efforts were "primarily designed to provide housing to white, middle-class, lower-middle-class families," he says. African-Americans and other people of color were left out of the new suburban communities — and pushed instead into urban housing projects.
Rothstein's new book, The Color of Law, examines the local, state and federal housing policies that mandated segregation. He notes that the Federal Housing Administration, which was established in 1934, furthered the segregation efforts by refusing to insure mortgages in and near African-American neighborhoods — a policy known as "redlining." At the same time, the FHA was subsidizing builders who were mass-producing entire subdivisions for whites — with the requirement that none of the homes be sold to African-Americans.
Everyone Pays A Hefty Price For Segregation, Study Says
Rothstein says these decades-old housing policies have had a lasting effect on American society. "The segregation of our metropolitan areas today leads ... to stagnant inequality, because families are much less able to be upwardly mobile when they're living in segregated neighborhoods where opportunity is absent," he says.

Larry Elder sums it up in this video. And he talks about how not only are the cities run by Democrats but in cities like Baltimore where the Freddie Gray incident occurred they are not only Democrat they are also Black...
ctgoldwing, I really recommend sociology books, especially by black professor Thomas Sowell(who was born in NC and raised in Harlem) about Blacks in America. I'd even be willing to share them with you as an epub.

Interesting to note that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was President in 1933, a fact that seems to always be omitted.
The history you outlined is horrendous. Please post a link to the source material.
The quote "The segregation of our metropolitan areas today leads...to stagnant inequality" is BS. It does not take 5 generations to overcome the bullshit that happened decades ago. That shit practice regarding loans does not happen today-- it's ILLEGAL -- AS IT SHOULD BE! Those wrongs from the past have been corrected. How many decades does it take to remove the victim label? I am tired of white people working overtime bending over backwards (and now on one knee) out of pure Guilt imposed on them for the color of their skin. It's Bullshit. Here's an idea--- just live your damn life without caring at all about COLOR. What a novel concept. We are PAST the time when we should judge people:
"... not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Police brutality and excessive force is tragic for an unarmed victim of ANY race. Why does it happen 2.5 times as often to Blacks versus Whites? Do you suppose it might have something to do with the fact that about half of the violent crimes in this country are committed by the 13% of the population that are Black? There is a deep CULTURAL issue there that only the Black community can fix.
and TODAY--- if I were black, there is no way in hell I would live in a city run by Democrats, especially Dems of Color--- pretty crazy that those are consistently the worst places for POC to live.

I'm interested in where this information comes from. I think one of the traffic stops a few years ago in Minnesota had a black man killed by a cop because he told the cop he has a gun (just giving the cop a heads up), and then boom! Cop shoots him dead. Like, man, what a reaction. Where y'all getting these ideas about blacks being treated better than whites in the last twenty years?

Trump campaign claims record number of ticket requests for rescheduled Tulsa rally (over 800k)
President Trump’s rescheduled campaign rally next weekend has received the largest number of ticket requests for any of his events, his campaign team claimed on Sunday.
“Just passed 800,000 tickets,” Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager, tweeted. “Biggest data haul and rally signup of all time by 10x. Saturday is going to be amazing!”
Trump had originally scheduled the rally for June 19, known as Juneteenth, a commemoration of when Texas slaves were made aware of the end of slavery in the United States two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Tulsa, Okla., the location for the rally, was the scene in 1921 of one of the most severe attacks on blacks in American history.

The only people who created the ghettos are Democrat Politicians rewarding young black mothers who have children out of wedlock without the support of a significant other. That is the black babies that survive the murder that you call abortion by Planned Parenthood that was formed on the Belief That society would benefit the murder of black babies.

As interesting as the fact that the Democrats and liberals, who support Planned Parenthood, don't want to discuss the organization’s origin or its racist founder, eugenics advocate, Margaret Sanger.

What I like about Larry Elder, and other Blacks like him, is that he is willing to move forward and finds benefit in what America has done along racial lines to move forward and be equal. He understands the benefit of not following the victimhood route. He also understands how divisive the victimhood narrative by the left is.
There were 2 flags that flew during the civil war, and the one that fought to end slavery won. I had 8 blood relatives that died in the Civil War on the Union side, some were known Abolitionist. Should I be proud of my relatives of the past?
Larry understands that we as a nation could move forward TOGETHER, as a people of many races with equal opportunity.
Democrat policy has done nothing for Blacks. And their welfare state policies has only hurt Blacks tremendously. Again just look at the cities where majority Blacks live, these areas have been Democrat for years, what have their policies done for Blacks?
Research for yourself what political party created the Abortion polices we have now and how it currently affects our Black Americans. If BLM and Leftist really cared about Black lives, shouldn't they do something to stop abortion of Black babies.
BLM is a fringe group that has hijacked the leftist Black Victimhood "Narrative" for their own Marxist / Anti-American/Western/Christian agenda. They are very similar to Antifa.
There is racism in all areas of the world. I lived in Hawaii for 12 years, where I went to college(UH). I know what it is like to be referred to as a "Stinkin' Haole". I felt racism/discrimination there in Hawaii, against me a white person because of my race, I felt it fairly regularly if not weekly or even daily at times.
I know that there is racism by illegal Hispanics in America against legal Whites and even Blacks in the Trade Industries which they have pretty much taken over these industries in California. They use this racism and prejudice to keep themselves employed and now might even have a monopoly on the Trades because of racial prejudice.
I do like our Latin American neighbors as a people, but we as a Nation of legal Americans should have been looking out for the legals first. Are we not a Nation that follows the Law? Why have we not taken the Blacks in California and put them to work in the fairly high paying Trades, rather than keep them on welfare and abort their babies? I don't believe in open borders. We need to look out for Legal Americans of all races first. What is so wrong about following the laws of legal immigration?
Latino's from south of the border know that they can come here illegally and get into the construction trades, even landscaping, where they can learn a Trade and within not too many years be making near 6 figures + working for themselves all the while not paying Federal and State taxes. I guarantee you that there are many non-tax-paying illegals making 6 figures in the landscaping and construction industry here in CA. While at the same time there are Blacks in Compton and elsewhere, etc. stuck on the welfare system and being fed the victim narrative by the left. What are the Democrat officials doing for these Blacks by keeping them on a welfare system? What dignity is there in that?
I could also mention that my sister married a black man and also my niece(her daughter) did too, and I now have others in my family that are mixed race Black/White.
Color does not make the person. But as far as pride goes, sure go ahead and find pride in your heritage. Better to find positive pride than to focus on anything negative.

You think? Why would you post an inflammatory and false stories? Why would you lie? Post a link to what you "think" happened.
Study after study shows that if you are black you are less likely to be unjustifiably shot by police if you are black. To understand this, you must understand that we simply cannot look at the percentage of black people in the population vs white. We must look for the percentage of police interactions and more specifically, violent interactions. You must concede that while the black population makes up 13.4 percent of the population, if we look at 2017 they commit 53% of murderer, 28% of rapes, 54% of robberies, 30 percent of aggravated assaults and so on for other crime categories. This is FBI data as seen here.
