On The Smithsonian and Slavery: Trump’s Whitewashing of History

[Toddsterpatriot]

1.2 trillion, the term "quintillion" is very likely an error that crept in during editing, it is not an arithmetic error however, just the wrong units.

This is the calculator referred to in the paper:

So you'll be relieved, you'll have less reparations to pay now.

Wow, a "units error". Only off by a factor of 1,000,000. DURR

Now try to find proof that the federal government, in the 1950s
gave whites subsidies of $120 billion for housing.


Here are the federal outlays in the 50s.

1950 $42.562 billion
1951 $45.514 billion
1952 $67.686 billion
1953 $76.101 billion
1954 $70.855 billion
1955 $68.444 billion
1956 $70.640 billion
1957 $76.578 billion
1958 $82.405 billion
1959 $92.098 billion

Look out for more "units errors".

So you'll be relieved, you'll have less reparations to pay now.

Zero with her bad math, zero with the correction.

Nope, not paying less.

It was a units error, obvious, easily done. People say billion when they mean million all the time, just ask Donald Trump.

That totals 693.883 Billion rather more than 120 Billion...

Look out for more "units errors".

Again look at the paper's citations, the 120 billion cites this:

The citation refers to a transcript, here it is: RACE - THE POWER OF AN ILLUSION

In there we find:

"Between 1934 and 1962, the federal government underwrote 120 billion dollars in new housing. Less than 2% went to non-whites."

Rather than open mindedly studying the issue, you are simply looking for any detail you can find that allows you discredit the whole argument, that's how dishonest you are a grown man too, shameful.

The 120 billion spend started in 1934, so using that get a 2019 value we get 10 million bucks then would be 188 million in 2019.

Technically we should take the amount spent every year between 1934 and 1962 and compute the 2019 values for them and sum them, we'd find the number is higher than the paper estimated...

They live to deny the long-term effects of white racist policies.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

These people are just nasty human beings, xenophobes. Noam Chomsky presented a similar argument that proves the state of Israel is Jew supremacist with the money spent on Jewish areas being vastly more than what was spent on Palestinian areas, same old same old, colonialism, plain and simple.

Off by a factor of a million. Pretty shoddy "scholarship".
6 years later, it still hasn't been corrected. LOL!

Maybe you should use the same ones the idiot author used.
Unless she made up those numbers as well?

That totals 693.883 Billion rather more than 120 Billion...

Yeah, total federal government spending in the 1950s. Maybe you can find
some evidence that over 17% was spent on housing subsidies for whites?

Thanks for the transcript.
Underwrote $120 billion in new housing? What does that even mean?
It sure doesn't sound like "spent $120 billion on white housing", does it?

you are simply looking for any detail you can find that allows you discredit the whole argument

Off by a factor of one million is kind of a big detail.

Technically we should take the amount spent every year between 1934 and 1962 and compute the 2019 values for them and sum them, we'd find the number is higher than the paper estimated...

You'd find it was still much, much lower than that shoddy bit of "scholarship"
came up with.

But that was a simple textual error, anyone could spot, even an idiot like you noticed it.

I'll start as soon as you find the actual evidence of $120 billion in spending.

 

[rightwinger]

I don’t know what Trump plans to do about the African American Museum where 2/3 relates to slavery, emancipation, segregation and civil rights

I was there and it seems to make slavery look pretty bad

 

[rightwinger]

Stressing slavery as the central art f American history is just what leftoid swine would do. It ended 161 years ago, with terrible casualties in the Civil War.

The leftoids never stress the good of America, all the massive good of America, Why? Because they want to tear America down, as they have long hated her and the Constitution.

Slavery is part of our history.
Civil War was fought over slavery.

It did not go away quietly and was replaced by Jim Crow, terrorism against blacks, KKK and second class citizenship

Great countries can show their history for good and bad.

[Unkotare]

It's called understanding the issues.


The dems today use hte same mindset as the slaveholders, for example their open argument that they need to be able to exploit illegal aliens for cheap labor.


The soliders of the COnfederacy, were AMERICANs, that was the whole point of the war, and any man would respect their service to their states, in defense of their homes.


YOu are a ******* retard. And an asshole.

No real American respects the traitors of the so-called confederacy.

The reality he doesn't want to face is that whites have received trillions of dollars in government handouts that blacks were denied. It doesn't matter what kind of numbers he tries to produce; that is a fact.

Bottom of page 38.

Should we be surprised at the ever-growing wealth gap that exists between black- and white-Americans, given the 1.239 quintillion 2019 dollars invested into white property and white wealth in the twentieth century?181 On average, the wealth gap between black- and white-American households (the black-white wealth gap) is...

Top of page 39.

approximately 14.074 quadrillion dollars.182 If approximately one-fourteenth of this gap can be attributed to the net amount of federal investment into white property during the twentieth century, because home equity is a significant source of wealth183 that has accrued substantial—if not astronomically—since the 1930s, it is possible that much of the black-white wealth gap can be attributed to federal housing discrimination and the accrued wealth of homeownership.184 Put differently, if it is likely that the property value of a home purchased in the 1930s, 1950s, or even the 1980s may be worth five, ten, or even fifteen times what it was worth at the time of purchase, it seems to follow that the black-white wealth gap map to the quantifiable impact of post-New Deal federal housing discrimination.185 If so, part of the black-white wealth gap can be attributed to the U.S. government’s discriminatory housing practices.

Total net worth of U.S. households is about $160 trillion.

The FHA, created in 1934 under FDR and run by the Democrats until 1953, didn't help many blacks get mortgages? I'm shocked.

Now, "underwriting $120 billion in mortgages" doesn't mean "spending $120 billion on mortgages", does it? LOL!

How much did the FHA actually spend to give whites mortgages? Probably zero.
The FHA makes a profit on the MIP (mortgage insurance premium).

Damn, that paper is looking weaker all the time.

 

[IM2]

He wants to pretend that 1.3 trillion is a small number. So let's use his argument. His argument shows that in 50 years of this country, whites got the equivalent of 1.3 trillion dollars from the government that helped them build wealth that blacks were denied. Another study shows that from 1990 until now, this nation has lost 51 trillion due to racism. Another study by Citi shows that in the first 20 years of this century, blacks lost 16 trillion. So this guy can argue and try to present his version of what happened, but credible sources show that racism has resulted in huge losses for blacks and huge gains for whites.

Wrong, you silly moron, underwriting $120 billion in loans doesn't mean $120 billion was spent.

Try again.

And use white...err...real math, not that bad minority math.

This is why you disgust me, why magats disgust me. Most of our mathematics can be traced to Arabs, Greeks, there's **** all "white" about it.

Your ancestors were probably pillaging and raping young girls in Norway when the Arabs were creating algebra.

Is that why IM2 and the silly study author are so bad at it?

I wasn't aware he claimed to be a mathematician or arithmetician.

Regarding your silly signature, Einstein was a liberal as was Erdos and Feynman, you don't know what mathematics is you windbag.
