You can cherry pick a millionaire here and there but those are exceptions but it's disingenuous and ahistorical to assert that this isn't true. Redlining existed to maintain racial divisions. Cities, counties, and even states explicitly maintained racial divisions, and even though these laws do not exist today, their effects are maintained.
