Redlining: Mapping Inequality in Dayton & Springfield (online version) 

One of the better documentaries I've seen about redlining. A lot of information you don't see in other independent documentaries on the subject on here.

Build more expensive properties as the new residents will pay more tax, which benefits the city and push out the peasants to reduce crime and make it even more enticing for those on higher incomes.

Wow!! I attempted to help a friend purchase the home she lived in for 5 years. The home was on the market for $27,000. She lived in the home for 5 years. She paid $850 in rent. She had a credit score of 775. She had an income of $38,000. I had purchased a home before and understood the process. THE ISSUE...Not a single bank would allow a mortgage below $50,000. She did not earn enough for a personal loan. It was a defeating experience.

This is really well done. For anyone interested in learning more about this history and its repercussions, I highly recommend "The Color of Law" by Richard Rothstein.

Its really something useful

Redlinibg is unnecessary. No one wants to live in dayton or springfield with the terrible crime and low scoring schools.

This is a lie, my ancestors were in Ohio from the 1700s til they left and moved to west virginia. Theyre were colored folks all over the southeastern seaboard as they arevthe American ingens[ indians]

Also while getting better over time, testing results from recent years unfortunately still show significant degrees of racial discrimination in mortgage lending, home sales, renting and appraisals even now. Also notable is the redlined area of East Dayton, which today is filled with poor whites.

Thanks for sharing. I hate our past but love to see how I and us all can start making change

awesome educational video thank you

I met Michael Carter at Sinclair last year! He put together an exhibit there in the library of the history of black people in America with tons of vintage posters, books, dolls, and more. He's a great guy to talk to. If you're in the Dayton area, you should visit it!

In the telecommunications industry (5G) redlining is what we call when we are making changes to the existing plans

ALL TAXATION WITH ZERO REPRESENTATION. REPARATIONS MUST COME. IT IS OWED✊🏾

Dayton is a really hard place to live in. Great people though.

White developments are such clean, beautiful places 😊

Well informed thank you . I was taught this back in the 80's and saw it for myself in 92when we bought are first house with good credit but told by the bank we're I was only allowed to move they were all in bad areas the bank would not approve my loan unless I chose one of these areas and the loan amount was so low I had no choice but to move in a bad area.

This applies to cities all over the country! I see it in Portland, Oregon. Such a well done documentary.

This documentary does a great job at explaining how neighborhoods that are majority black became dilapidated and full of blight (denied financial resources). The people there did not intentionally turn their neighborhoods to pot; banks simply would not offer home improvement loans, period. Also, many people did not have the financial education to avoid pitfalls such as equity loans, subprime loans [adjustable rate mortgages], and rent-to-own agreements. Also, placing a threshold for financing a new home [$50000] hurts a lot of low-income residents (this same practice is done with vehicles: typically $20000 and/or 10 years old). Growing up in these types of neighborhoods in the South (now I live near Springfield), I have definitely witnessed it firsthand.

Consider this: Foreign investors who have never been in America are purchasing real estate anywhere they choose in 2024, despite the fact that black families were redlined access to particular neighborhoods and homes for years. This actually took place in America?!?!

I was born in 1960 in New Bern, NC moving to Brooklyn, NY in 1967. I eventually grew up and left NY in 1990s. My point being that very few people I knew lived in the same area that i grew up in the seventies and eigthies when I left in the nineties.

😮 it is so sad that Mr. exe’s original home gained a whopping equity of NEGATIVE 77%. 🤬

Will a racist or non racist white person please explain to me why people deny racism exists in America to the extent that it does

Fantastic documentary. I'll just add that while this does need addressing on a national level, African-Americans do need to band together to support their own communities and show strength. There are plenty of African-Americans making generational wealth nowadays, not just in sports and entertainment, but also in other industries. We're talking about wealth that can support more than 5 generations of families, so they can definitely spare some money to reinvigorate communities like Dayton by investing into their local economies.

How do we change this?

They make car loans for $50,000 they can easily make mgt

I understand this but I'm white and am just as poor as any black. While my brother has a different dad is 45 retired with a farm and 3 houses. I'm 34 and live in a apartment with my mom that struggles as well.

Americans will always find workarounds, we simply don't want to live in little Africa.

That's why Black Americans need reparations.

Great documentary video ❗💯🔥👍

The scientific literatue does not find an effect of racism on lending. 'Redlining' did not have any racist effect and the fact that that the producers are ignorant willingly or not of the reality of the effect is damming.

Yes, poor whites could be presant in green areas to an extent but actual poor white areas were indeed redlined even without blacks. Yet the presence of even a single non servant black resident regardless of socioeconomic status routinely meant an area was redlined.

This is disturbing.

It's all staged, and scripted

Before, I didn’t want to believe that integration in schools and home communities would lower the standards of academics and the value of housing in the neighborhood respectively, not to mention ruin the neighborhood, until I see what’s going on today in high school, colleges and closure of stores and restaurants in the neighborhood where there is diversity.

Do a documentary about my ancestors! The native American Suix nation!!! Yes this is history but the context being used is just willingly causing modern segregation

These were Indigenous people...the term African Americans was coined in 1988...name changed for the eighth time. Natives American Indians to be exact!

Redling makes more sense to me now in light of all the skyrocketing crime, riots and looting going on in the U.S. it’s not about racism, it’s about facts. Black areas simply have more crime than other areas. It’s foolish to invest in those places. Back then it wasn’t taboo to have common sense. “Hey new guy - here’s a map of all the places you should avoid. Lots of crime here. Don’t sell real estate here ok?”

Red lining is not outlawed just rename as gated community. Just take a look at North Florida, west Florida. Some of these places are 95 % European American and racism is food for the soul of these state.

The redlining maps were NOT based almost solely on race except in one very important sense: that is that areas with any black population of note were consistently redlined, regardless of soceoeconomic status or anything else. Plenty of other areas without black residents were redlined too however!

This story is outdated, and a Great big lie

Just because your grand or great grand parents owned a house doesn't mean you would inherit it. I know people that inherited a lot of money and property and blew it all in their lifetime leaving nothing to their children. I think this is a way to excuse the failures of African Americans in modern society

If you’re White and just had this History lesson. Imagine a Movie 🍿 you guys like Pretend, imagine doing the Right things from the beginning. Maybe no Rap but still Elvis and the Beatles, Which gave us The Rolling Stones 🎤 Pre Rap after Slavery the Blues give us Evils. Blacks. Sorry degreased, if you’ve ever met a normal black person usually your seeing his family as well as Ghetto guys. For the Racist and young who keep saying why don’t they........Well it’s because of you and the nice ones not seeing Cause and Effect from FDRs New Deal to make your White families able to do almost anything. You can not compare the two when considering blacks. Being Systemic is like the documentary said.. If Grate Grandparents Aren’t Selling Well they don’t Hire in Corporate America. So when everyone’s always White where you walk....it’s Systemic. Your Birth to your Schools to your Jobs to your neighborhoods. It’s was built before you guys got here waiting for you. Why do you think your not super great athletes? Really come on tell us maybe it’s because someone maybe better who’s not White and doesn’t just have to have Pretty Eyes and nice hair for the meeting and Dinner parties. It’s someone who’s faster jumps higher and stronger. Personally it could be anybody but in life it’s usually Black Americans who are the best on the Planet. My point is this try being fair and see how it ends up because Redlining is a Holocaust given by White Americans.
