    Yeah, I didn't watch the entire video, but it seemed to me D'Souza's response regarded a different topic all together, combined with an effort to humiliate the student. The issue was not whether heirs to a preceding population have advantages, it's whether concurrently existent populations have advantages against one another. The student kind of mangled things by focusing on the GI Bill, which was color blind. The problem for blacks was that there was no place to spend that funding, so the opportunity to build wealth only existed on paper.

    Redlining occurred through the 1970s, even into the 1980s in the more segregated parts of the South. Good luck trying to get a home loan if you were an African-American. It's a problem that reverberates to this day.

    Whereas blacks in the urban north all joined country clubs... Oh snap. Democrats herded them into ghettos and farmed them for votes.

    That show "Black-ish" dealt with this when the youngest son (himself a black kid) gets suspended for using the N word as part of a zero-tolerance policy on hate speech--that his mom had pushed for. :lol:

    Quit yammering about Wilson like that excuses the continual bullshit that spews from the GOP's collective mouths or the institutional racism that's continuing.

    Yes, I'm the first to admit that Dems show racism in more subtle ways than the GOP, but they aren't the ones tarried and feathering all (insert minority of choice here) as (insert stereotype of choice here). In my progressive, liberal city I have opportunity to be hired and get into a school of my choice. :dayton:

    But you rent might cost a fortune because you have to protect endangered snails from new real estate developments. San Francisco used to have a large black population. Now they're almost gone. Seattle Times article on the decline. You can be certain that the GOP had nothing to do with it.

    The problem with San Francisco is it has water on three sides so there is no fresh land to build on. To build anything first you must destroy the buildings that are already there. Now, the city does have some stupid NIMBY rules, especially the height and density limits, that need to go but they exist because the people who live there voted for them.

    This.

    San Francisco is only 49 square miles wide, and a good portion of that was built on landfill. This is a fact many discovered when their homes were leveled in the '89 earthquake.

    It has nothing to do with gtardo and the idiot voices he hears in his head screaming about Republicans being the saviors of minorities and Woodrow Wilson being Hitler.

    Woodrow Wilson isn't Hitler, he's Jefferson Davis the 2nd.

    Dinner is right about the lack of density. San Francisco is less dense than Bogota, Rio, Lima, Mexico City, or about thirty other major cities worldwide, but in the US, only New York's 8 million inhabitants are packed denser (27,000 per sq mile versus 17,000). The inhabitants are solely responsible for the high rents and the mess they're in, having created what amounts to the country's largest out-of-control neighborhood association.
