The statistics of a white family having $100 for every $5.04
of a black family was eye opening and grabbed my attention. It is depressing to
think that in the 80s it was still common that loans were based on a persons
race and education. The redlining does make sense in the sense of just thinking
of the city of Syracuse. I think a real eye opener was when describing that the
two boys with the same GPA and education would not get the same job offers, and
the individual with the “white name” received twice as many call backs. I
really enjoyed the last 30 seconds where it described that there is no single
person or entity responsible for systemic racism, but that we can work towards
equality by: working towards being aware of your own implicit bias, support
changes that increase opportunities for equality, increasing public school
funding and make it independent from property taxes.
