Follow the Line: How Redlining Separated Black and White New Orleans 

This excellent reporting by an excellent reporter! This reporter needs a raise! Thanks to all the experts that were interviewed who contributed to this report.

I wish you would have added New Orleans east to this story what happen but it was nice though

Fascinating. Sadly the rich have equity and will use it to purchase rental properties in poorer areas.

Ruled unconstitutional in 1927. CRYING ABOUT IT IN 2023 🤦🏿‍♂️ Embarrassing.

New Orleans has had two Republican mayors, both during Reconstruction. The last one left office 150 years ago. If you want different leadership, you have to vote differently.

I was unaware of how these lines work and were drawn. This is a very good strategy to use when investing in property. Never used it before but now I will not only look at flood maps I'll look at these maps as well. Banks and insurance companies do so if they charge more then you must charge more. If you know that neighborhood can't afford to pay their rent then naturally don't invest there. Then abandon buildings and homes are 5%. Crime and fires because homeless are trying to keep warm. Insurance goes up more people leave . Did I mention what color these people are? This has nothing to do with color has to do with behavior. Money talks and the rest of that walks.

I don't think the Civil War should have been fought in the first place. Irish labor was cheaper than Slave labor, and the industrial revolution had already started. Follow the money, who really benefited from the war, the Blacks, ... No. ... How about the Rich White Capitalist in the North? By 1875 slave labor would not have been economically feasible. Blacks and white would have just formed bonds like we had before the war.

Crime seems to follow single parent neighborhoods. Huh

Told yall but nobody wants to listen

The proof can be glaring them in the eye, and they'll still say it's bs. So, I guess all of the people in the video made all of this up? I didn't need to see this to know what happened. I can see the effects with my own two eyes.

The part about white flight is very real. 70% of New Orleans was white in 1950, the vast majority of which were native-born New Orleanians. Just before Katrina in 2005, nearly 70% of New Orleans was black. A complete reversal of demographics in just 50 years, completely flipped. That’s outrageous. Something they didn’t touch on in this video too, black migration into the city is also very real as many blacks came from outside of the city and outside of the New Orleans area and moved into New Orleans largely after 1968 when blacks were allowed to move into white neighborhoods. This contributed heavily to the cause of the white flight since whites were interested in retaining the white demographic of most of the neighborhoods in New Orleans, the same how blacks in New Orleans today want to retain the black demographic in those same neighborhoods that were previously white neighborhoods decades ago. Now gentrification is setting in and more and more whites are moving into the city as time goes on, but this time they are not native-born New Orleanians like before but are from outside of the New Orleans area and often from other states. New Orleans is moving toward a white majority again and it will intensify in the coming years when many native-born whites in the suburbs feel the city is “white enough again” to move back into in large numbers. There is also another phenomenon happening at the same time where blacks in New Orleans are moving to the surrounding suburbs in much the same way New Orleans whites did decades ago.

Fatherlessness

Martin Luther King Jr. Said desegregation was racist.

Blame everyone else. The forever victim.
