Are home appraisals racist, screwing Black homeowners? No. A 2024 FDIC study looked at ACTUAL appraisals: If Black sellers sold at their own appraisal price, they’d make +0.44-0.48% MORE profit per year than White sellers. If anything, appraisers are screwing White homeowners.

Here is a list of some of the things that have happened to scientists who published legitimate research on racial differences in IQ: Death threats and other threats of physical violence: actual physical violence and mobbing; loss of employment, grant money, and book contracts; removal from boards and honorary societies; withdrawal of awards and recognitions; vicious defamatory personal attacks; and, above all else, misrepresentation of their views and research in the media and by academics.

I was curious about sex differences in flight-control performance during pilot selection, and when I pulled the data, the gap was surprisingly large.

Huh! Apparently if you recode all the cases where a woman withdrew her accusation as false *as false* (they're generally not counted that way for some reason), the false rape accusation rate rises to 20-40%.

Grok goes fully woke. This is what $33 per month (billed annually) premium Grok gets you now. No longer are you allowed to make artistic renderings of at-large crime suspects.

The problem with studies of discrimination is that you don't know what the "right" answer is. Whiter juries give Black defendants longer sentences -- but that could be because they are fair, and it is Black jurors who discriminate! 1/

Im actually blown away that this is a thing. Apparently, blacks get their own special alerts in California. Likely, this is done so blacks can specifically work to help find other blacks. The system is such that blacks can have special laws to help them, but never for whites.

American's 'don't generally experience crime'? Memphis, New Orleans, Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Baltimore have some of the highest murder rates in the world. And remember, the US has first-rate trauma care which artificially depresses murder rates.

@Noahpinion Americans don’t generally experience crime or disorder. You live in SF so your perspective is warped.

The current view of "redlining" in the popular consciousness is a (wholly, 100% false) narrative to frame current black lack of housing wealth as the result of past white malfeasance and hence justify white expropriation.

Almost all black neighborhoods were redlined because black neighborhoods tend to be poor, violent, dirty, and getting worse (because of black behavior), and so not places people want to move to. This was true in 1936, it was true in 1966, and it is true today.

@DanteJeffe14617 @arctotherium42 @handre The vast majority of White residents living in redlined areas were working class and poor, lacking the financial means to move. They couldn't just pack up and leave. And clearly, if what you're saying was the case, it wouldn't be the case that 92% of those affected were White.

@arctotherium42 @handre White people living in redlined districts could leave those districts and move somewhere not redlined. Blacks couldn’t because districts with black people in them, regardless of income, were subject to redlining. Nice try.

In 1934, the Federal Housing Administration drew red lines around Chicago's South Side, officially marking it "hazardous" for mortgage lending. The bureaucrats' reasoning? Too many Black families lived there, making it a "risky investment" in their expert opinion. Those same redlined neighborhoods are now wrapped in layers of zoning restrictions that would make a Soviet planner weep with joy. Single-family-only zones, minimum lot sizes, height restrictions, parking requirements - a beautiful web of "planning" that just happens to keep housing scarce and expensive. Modern city councils don't need to mention race anymore; they just invoke "neighborhood character" and "traffic concerns" while blocking apartments near good schools and transit. The red ink has faded, but the exclusion lives on through the magic of municipal regulation. What began as explicit racial gatekeeping has evolved into a sophisticated system of regulatory barriers that accomplishes the same goal with plausible deniability. The government that created the problem now promises to solve it - with more planning, naturally.

Redlining was not "explicit racial gatekeeping" [92% of redlined homes were white] it was a correct prediction that the value of a certain neighborhood was not likely to increase (true of almost all black areas), and hence a bad place for the government to back loans to (taxpayer money). nber.org/system/files/w…
