I was not completely fluent on the concept of redlining until watching the video on systemic racism. Being in social work, I have had prior education on how poverty, education, and access to opportunity all interwine-but never had the confidence to explain these things. I never thought of before how uprisings have literally been criminalized and demonized because the government and overall institution of the United States wants it to seem like the current social order is righteous and just. This is exactly why white people need to show up and be more involved- I really liked the analogy with the house and its foundation-white supremacy is a foundation which keeps the system of oppression strong.
