Your argument is like what white supremacist use.
Oprah and Michael Jordan made it, so therefore racism doesn't exist.

So this black bank owned bank established in the 1920s wasn't allowed. That is false. Do we have to go one by one showing black business that were allowed prior to 1960? I already showed North Carolina Mutual established in 1898, black owned and still exists today
He did not say blacks did not own business. That is not what he said. smh
He said before the 1960s, first by law and then by custom. This is historically correct.
This is why I ask you:
1) WHAT IS THE REDLINING?
2) Why did African Americans flee in droves? Why are you scared to touch this one? hmmmm
3) What is wealth distribution?
You are afraid to answer these basic questions, because it will debunk you.

Redlining (1937- )
Redlining refers to a discriminatory pattern of disinvestment and obstructive lending practices that act as an impediment to home ownership among African Americans and other people of color. Banks used the concept to deny loans to homeowners and would-be homeowners who lived in these neighborhoods. This in turn resulted in neighborhood economic decline and the withholding of services or their provision at an exceptionally high cost.
The origin of the term stems from the policies developed by the Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) created in 1933 by the Franklin Roosevelt Administration to reduce home foreclosures during the Depression and then institutionalized by the 1937 U.S. Housing Act which established the Federal Housing Association (FHA). Federal housing agencies including the HOLC and the FHA determined whether areas were deemed unfit for investment by banks, insurance companies, savings and loan associations, and other financial services companies. The areas were physically demarcated with red shading on a map.
In contrast, zones which were to receive preferential lending status were marked in green shading and intermediate areas in blue shading.
Often these decisions were arbitrarily based on the area’s racial composition rather than income levels. While the practice was almost universal before 1968, the Civil Rights Act passed that year theoretically outlawed redlining. Nonetheless its impact was felt long after that date. In a series of Pulitzer Prize winning articles which appeared in 1988 under the title “The Color of Money,” Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Bill Dedmen described how Atlanta, Georgia banks still discriminated by the racial designation of neighborhoods. His article illustrated how these banks were nearly twice as likely to lend to homeowners and prospective home buyers in low-income white neighborhoods as in affluent black areas.
As a consequence of redlining, neighborhoods that local banks deemed unfit for investment were left underdeveloped or in disrepair. Attempts to improve these neighborhoods with even relatively small-scale business ventures were commonly obstructed by financial institutions that continued to label the underwriting as too risky or simply rejected them outright. When existing businesses collapsed, new ones were not allowed to replace them, often leaving entire blocks empty and crumbling. Consequently African Americans in those neighborhoods were frequently limited in their access to banking, healthcare, retail merchandise, and even groceries. One notable exception to this was (and still is) the proliferation of liquor stores and bars which seemingly transcended the area’s stigma of financial risk.
As greater Austin booms, the poisonous legacy of segregation continues to cut off the African-American population from economic opportunities and its own cultural anchors, threatening the whole region's potential. Read the American-Statesman's three-part series below.

SUMMARY In this video, Laci Green talks about the nature of racism in 2015. She begins by challenging commonly held ideas about what racism is. She highlights how racist attitudes have created a racist system...which have created more racist attitudes. In order to stop the cycle, she illustrates 6 common ways that racism is institutionalized. Wealth disparities and housing, education, employment, mass incarceration, racial profiling, and police brutality are all touched upon. She ends by calling white America to stop making excuses that enable the past to continue and instead acknowledge the injustice right in front of us.

How The U.S. Government Gave White Americans An Advantage
The wealth income gap is huge compared to blacks and whites. For every dollar blacks have,whites have $20. Why? The U.S. government gave whites a advantage through 3 programs. The Headright System, Homestead Act of 1862 and FHA & VA Loans with the process of redlining. This is U.S. history but have a role still today.

quote: First Listen: Jay-Z’s “4:44,” an Album of Love and Wealth
In “The Story of O. J.,” Jay gives us his sort of morality tale, using the example of O. J. Simpson, who famously said that his success had made him raceless. “Still nigga, still nigga,” Jay-Z says, pointing his finger at the sort of archetypal, upwardly mobile black person who forgets where he comes from when he reaches the top. The video that accompanies the song alters its tone. A cartoon Jay-Z, made to look like a Sambo-era, animalized pickaninny, traipses through Brooklyn. The black people around him suffer their historical torments—cotton-picking, then segregation, then red-lining. He is lynched. Now an angel in the sky, he takes up guardianship of his home town, showering the black inhabitants with dollars and coins, as if to say, in his heavenly America, wealth would be weather.

You quote rap lyrics like these are the great thinkers of our time. He complains on this song but where is the solution? like trying to form a distribution company or something else? These type of lyrics are vague and this sort of complaining has been going on for over 30 years, it doesn't go anywhere. He is just trying to cover for all the dumbed down lyrics he has been doing for years. I want to see what Beyonce and Jay z do next, or if the political element was just a marketing trend. On a scale of 1-10 for being political in rap, this album is about a 2-3.
In the Story of O.J., O.J. had said "I'm not black, I'm O.J." But Jay z's answer to that was not that you are black
His answer was you are still a "nigga" But notice how he didn't say "They think you still a nigga" First of all it doesn't matter what "they" would think anyway but he didn't doesn't say "white people" or "the enemy" So this means some people like being "niggas" and he has been calling black people that for over 20 years and was a participant in what Public Enemy called the "niggerization of hip hop"
This means Jay Z is the ultimate crab pulling down the other crab, at the same time him and Beyonce are worth over a billion. His only solution is "get money" There's no depth there. He complains a little about the system and then you think he's god. And his complaints are much softer than the real political rappers like Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, KRS One, Lupe Fiasco, Killer Mike, Talib Kweli, Mos Def

[Hook] Friends – how many of us have them? Friends – ones we can depend on Friends – how many of us have them? Friends – before we go any further, let's be Friends
[Verse 1] Is a word we use everyday Most the time we use it in the wrong way Now you can look the word up, again and again But the dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends And if you ask me, you know, I couldn't be much help Because A friend is somebody you judge for yourself Some are ok, and they treat you real cool But some mistake kindness for being a fool We like to be with some, because they're funny Others come around when they need some money Some you grew up with, around the way And you're still real close too this very day Homeboys through the Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall And then there's some we wish we never knew at all And this list goes on, again and again But these are the people that we call friends
[Verse 2] When we first went out together, we barely knew each other We had no intentions, on becoming lovers But in no time at all, you became my girl Me and you, one on one, against the world Talkin on the telephone for hours at a time Or else I was at your house, or you was at mine Then came the arguments and all kinds of problems Besides making love, we had nothing in common It couldn't last long because it started out strong But I guess we went about the whole thing wrong Cause out of nowhere it just came to an end Because we became lovers before we were friends
[Hook] Friends – how many of us have them? Friends – ones we can depend on Friends – how many of us have them? Friends – before we go any further, let's be Friends
[Verse 3] You say you and your girlfriend were so tight You took her out with you and your guy one night She even had a set of keys to your home And you shared mostly everything you owned But as she shook your hand, she stole your man And it was done so swift, it had to be a plan Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys With friends like that you don't need enemies You wonder how long it was all going on And your still not sure if your man is gone You say, well if she took him he was never mine But deep inside you know that's just another lie And now you're kinda cold to the people you meet Cause of something that was done to you by some creep But nevertheless, I'll say it again That these are the people that we call friends
[Hook] Friends – how many of us have them? Friends – ones we can depend on Friends – how many of us have them? Friends – before we go any further, let's be Friends
[Verse] Kill Jay Z, they'll never love you You'll never be enough, let's just keep it real, Jay Z Fuck Jay Z, I mean, you shot your own brother How can we know if we can trust Jay Z? And you know better, nigga, I know you do But you gotta do better, boy, you owe it to Blue You had no father, you had the armor But you got a daughter, gotta get softer Die Jay Z, this ain't back in the days You don't need an alibi, Jay Z Cry Jay Z, we know the pain is real But you can't heal what you never reveal What's up, Jay Z? You know you owe the truth To all the youth that fell in love with Jay Z You got people you love you sold drugs to You got high on the life, that shit drugged you You walkin' around like you invincible You dropped outta school, you lost your principles I know people backstab you, I felt bad too But this 'fuck everybody' attitude ain't natural But you ain't a saint, this ain't kumbaye But you got hurt because you did cool by 'Ye You gave him 20 million without blinkin' He gave you 20 minutes on stage, fuck was he thinkin'? "Fuck wrong with everybody?" is what you sayin' But if everybody's crazy, you're the one that's insane Crazy how life works You got a knot in your chest, imagine how a knife hurts You stabbed Un over some records Your excuse was "He was talkin' too reckless!" Let go your ego over your right shoulder Your left is sayin', "Finish your breakfast!" You egged Solange on Knowin' all along, all you had to say you was wrong You almost went Eric Benét Let the baddest girl in the world get away I don't even know what else to say Nigga, never go Eric Benét! I don't even know what you woulda done In the future other niggas playin' football with your son You woulda lost it Thirteen bottles of Ace of Spade, what it did to Boston Nah, Jay Z Bye, Jay Z

Beyonce Brings Black Panther Chic, Black Lives Matter Message to Super Bowl Halftime
You may recall that the Black Panther Party was, as the Freedom Center's Discover the Networks site describes them, a violent revolutionary organization of the 1960s and 1970s whose members engaged in drug dealing, pimping, rape, extortion, assault, and murder. Their aim was to harass the police, protest against “police brutality” and America’s allegedly racist power structure, and ultimately ignite a violent race war in the United States.

I wonder the lioness, why do you hate black people? What have black people done to you and "your community" for you to hate blacks as much as you do?

Because you will not grasp any of it, just like you lack understanding of blacks in America. But perhaps we should talk about Sweden or that neighboring place where you are from.
