“if you’re a Black family selling your home, the simple act of removing photos of yourselves and replacing them with images of a white family can dramatically increase its market value.” - FACTS! @Comrade Christos and @Sharif El-Mekki have dropped another bombshell of truth, exposing the insidious ways in which systemic racism infiltrates even the most day to day aspects of our lives. Sad BUT true! This is a reflection of a deeply ingrained bias that permeates the housing market. Suddenly, a $200,000 home transforms into a $400,000 asset… an example of the immense economic cost of racial discrimination. This isn’t an isolated incident; it’s a systemic issue, compounded over generations, robbing Black families of wealth and opportunity. This is why the powers that be resist scrutiny, why they fear the microscope of public scrutiny. They understand that exposing these microaggressions, these subtle yet devastating acts of discrimination, shatters the illusion of a “colorblind” society. Fines? They’re mere speed bumps, a cost of doing business. This is the true face of systemic racism – insidious, pervasive, and deeply entrenched within the very fabric of our society.
