Instead, we consciously or subsconsciously embrace a predilicition and desire for preferential treatment for preferred people. Nowhere is our support of preference starker than in the way 'racial haves' sustain their mistratment of the 'racial-have-nots.' It occus in every facet of American life and is evident across the globe. This boox examines a single area of our culture: housing in the US which operates against the backdrop of unrelenting segregation policies and practices in all facets of the industry. So vitriolic is the housing industry against people of color, particularly african Americans, that even sweeping legislation like the Fair Housing Act itself could not stamp out the offensive systemic actions within the housing industry. Acknowleding the depths of prejudice supported by centuries of falsehoods and malevolence, the author calls for transformational change in American culture to reach racial balance in housing and concomitant industries"-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Discrimination in housing $z United States. 650 0 $a Discrimination in housing $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Housing policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Segregation $x Law and legislation $z United States. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230317010854.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=069D8D50C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
