Pretty sure I added more than whatever "outrage" you are inferring from my comment with my podcast suggestions.
Here's a recent Reveal episode where they discuss how banks won't lend to black folks:

Of course unequal lending and housing opportunities go back in time forever, with huge consequences for, e.g., the wealth that white vs. black families have been able to accumulate over time, since houses are most folks' biggest assets.
Here's a recent Scene on Radio episode where they discuss the long history of federal programs that benefit whites and exclude blacks, etc. Of course you should really listen to the rest of the series for context:

This is actually really interesting stuff to learn about, if you'd care to.
