The Color of Law with Richard Rothstein

The Philippe Matthews Show

Brought to you by: DIGITALNOMICS - Walk Away Wealth Systems: How to Create Wealth Out of Thin Air Using Your Mind, Melanin and Smartphone ---------------------------- In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein, a leading authority on housing policy, explodes the myth that America’s cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation?that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies. Rather, The Color of Law incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation?the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments?that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.
