if you can read the paper in full and deny my conclusion, you either didn’t read the paper or you’re lying.
and i don’t want to engage in discourse with a dummy or a liar
the study literally goes out of its way to showcase the differences west indians went out of their way to highlight, it goes into covering, it goes into overpaying for properties that black americans didn’t have access to, it goes into civil rights leaders literally on their top for presenting themselves as British subjects and not as black people in order to appease whites, it goes into them founding different loans solely for west indians and it even goes into how they monopolized the landlord and realtor broker jobs and extended housing primarily to other west indians for generations.
im not engaging with you because you’re operating in untruths.
1. If Black Americans had the capital and prior experience of breaking into white racial monopolies they would have been able to overpay for those properties and get a foothold into the real estate business in the same velocity as Black Caribbeans.
2. I'm not denying they didn't present themselves as British subjects, I'm wondering where this fukking leap to ethnic cleansing came from. You not asking the bigger question: why did they have to present themselves as British subjects first? Why was there this stupid system where neighborhood bans on selling to black people was a thing? Who is to blame for that? Black American people bought houses in Harlem during this period too, were they "covering"?
Quote from the paper:
It is not that these “tipping” patterns were exclusive to West Indians. Indeed, African Americans realtors undoubtedly replicated similar patterns, and in fact preceded their West Indian peers.
3. Again you a motherfukking liar. Because businesses came up that provided mortgages and insurance to Black Caribbeans, does not mean that they specifically excluded Black Americans. However Black Caribbeans were early advantaged because, and I quote:
West Indians buyers were more likely to be able to access informal credit that allowed them to generate cash when needed.That is, even when they did not have immediate cash, they had access to informal mortgage financing.
Informal credit based on communal specific relationships.
But that does not translate into Black Americans being discriminated against by Black Caribbeans. And the bigger problem which you continue to deny and close your eyes to, is that there were much wider networks of credit and insurance that were not accessible to either Black Caribbeans OR Black Americans because they were not white. That's the dominant dynamic in disparities in ownership.
You're not engaging with me because you a bytch. If I'm wrong state where I'm wrong bytch nikka
