- tptacek 4y agoNah, I don't think I'm going to continue trying to re-establish whether redlining was racist or not with someone who just said they're not sure the Home Owners' Loan Corp was itself racist. I've, you know, been on message boards before; I know how this conversation ends: with some weird appeal to phrenology, most likely. You can of course content yourself with your victory on this thread. It'll be valuable currency in your effort to convince the world that redlining was overblown, and likely of little long term impact on American cities.
