The original version did not allow racial discrimination, but the American Federation of Labor fought against it and the final version permitted unions to exclude BIPOC. As a result, people of color were not only locked out of higher-paying jobs, they were also denied union protection and benefits: medical care, full employment, and job security.

At the same time, the government introduced a system connecting home value and loan eligibility to races. All-white communities received the highest ratings and benefited from low-cost, government-backed loans, while minority and mixed neighborhoods received the lowest ratings and were denied these loans.

Shelley v. Kraemer was a Supreme Court decision to stop this, but exclusion continued. Private developers could still refuse to sell homes to nonwhites, and real estate agents steered nonwhite homebuyers away from white neighborhoods. ]]> 2021-01-29 16:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1141323829 sueugam https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1141323833 2021-01-29 16:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1141323833 sueugam https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1141323836 The housing market available to most BIPOC was rental and later, public housing in segregated urban centers. Government-sponsored urban redevelopment programs destroyed more housing than they built. Ninety percent of all housing destroyed was not replaced; two-thirds of those displaced were Black or Latino. ]]> 2021-01-29 16:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1141323836 sueugam https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1141323843 In the 1960s, the government made several efforts to end housing discrimination, but had little impact. It was not until 1988 that fair housing laws were amended to enforce the rules. In the 1970s, '80s and '90s, housing prices rose dramatically, and white homeowners who benefited from racist federal laws were able to sell their homes at great profit. Meanwhile, BIPOC groups who had been denied federal assistance had homes worth far less.]]> 2021-01-29 16:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1141323843 sueugam https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1141323848 In 1993, 86% of suburban whites still lived in places with a Black population of less than 1%. The 2000 Census showed that whites are still more likely to be segregated than any other group. Today, 71% of white people own their own home, compared to 44% of African Americans. Black and Latino mortgage applicants are 60% more likely than whites to be turned down for loans.]]> 2021-01-29 16:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1141323848 https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1149944555 2021-02-01 17:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1149944555 https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1149952531 2021-02-01 17:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sueugam/ooiriajdxjy4zqi5/wish/1149952531
