Ugh, it's crazy to think that 70 yrs ago Rosa Parks was already fighting against racism in her own neighborhood
. I mean, the fact that Detroit is still dealing with racist housing policies is just ridiculous. It's like, what even is the point of having a civil rights movement if we're not actively working to dismantle systemic inequality?
The stats on property taxes are wild - an extra $300-$400 per year for Black households? That's just unacceptable
. We need more people like Bernadette Atuahene speaking out against these practices and pushing for real change. It's time to acknowledge the intersectional nature of racism and start working towards a more equitable future, where homeownership isn't just a privilege for some but a reality for all
