I knew about the government encouraging redlining, what I didn't know was not government agencies were acting unconstitutionally. The FHA and other agencies involved in housing went against the constitution in refusing mortgage insurance to developers who wanted to build integrated housing developments. The VA did the same thing in refusing to allow Black veterans to buy home in white or integrated neighborhoods. This is a thoroughly researched look at how the United States government was complicit in keeping Blacks and whites segregated in residential settings, which made sure that schools were segregated also. The government acting against the best interest of its' own citizens. Excuse me, but what a f**kin' suprise. Note the use of the sarcasm font.
