Other than the 1488 crowd wanting to be able to say ‘no blacks allowed’ in certain businesses, I’m genuinely curious what else is in there that should make it get repealed?
I personally would like it not repealed mainly because I would be personally affected by said policy obviously, but I’m curious in the reasons outside of just that, if y’all have reasons other than that, as AFAIK, the CRA violates freedom of assembly in the view of people who have that opinion.
How so? Do you think all the White business owners around you are rabid racists and only let you in their stores because it's the law?
And you still want to give them money?
You don't think there are any other businesses around that would gladly cater to you for money? What about large corporate stores, or "Black Owned" businesses?
If you're talking about banks redlining, I'll just point out that most Black people I've heard talk about this wouldn't want to live in a majority black neighborhood either. I'm sure there were ways to get around it.
It violates freedom of association, objectively. Arguably you can say the government has the right to regulate commerce and businesses offering services is different than individual associations - but it's still a form of association.
My own views aren't as clear-cut, but let me ask you this question: do you think that business should be able to discriminate against people for not taking the Coronavirus vaccine?
In Europe, such discrimination (against folks holding a job) is banned. I guess some business owners are rabid Coronavaccine supporters, but you wouldn't know, nor does anyone have to worry about their opinions.
Is that good? Is that bad? Or neither?
Redlining wasn't about race, but about poverty. Blacks were just affected more because more blacks were poor.
Fewer blacks were poor. A higher percentage of blacks were poor.
There are still, today, just as there have always been, more poor white people than poor black people (in the US, which is relevant because we're talking about the CRA).
The thing to me is that in 60 years of politicking they haven't changed this a bit.
White people's incomes remain average for the US.
Black peoples incomes are below that.
Black peoples incomes haven't improved.
Groups have moved up the ladder but those groups are not black or white.
