Racism didn’t cause 2009 crisis and covid didn’t cause 2020 crisis. There are macroeconomic indicators that more-or-less predicted previous recessions and predicted the upcoming one even before any signs of pandemic showed up. (eg. Treasury yield curve 2-year/10-year differential inverted in august 2019)
Racism and now opening economy are divides that are being amplified by media so both sides can blame the situation on “the wrong half” in some way, ignoring the true causes, mechanisms behind them and those who will actually profit.
The deflationary spiral must be horrible, except it never happened. Sure deflation would slow down the economy, by allowing people to work less than 3 jobs and start saving to buy that house instead of living in constant debt. Instead banks just create money devaluing currency (affecting those who cannot hedge and keep most assets in cash / checking account) and pouring the value into mortgages with interest rates lower than inflation making it reasonable for people to take the mortgage (but actually only to those who can pay for it upfront and keep some reserve) and keeping property prices high by all the unreasonable demand. What about those who unreasonably take the mortgage? They just bought an overpriced house. They’ll have to work harder, hoping they can pay for it, risking to loose it all.
Now I’d rather give deflationary spiral a try. With cryptocurrencies it’s much easier to hedge small amounts while keeping them liquid. Hopefully we’ll see wider adoption soon pushing out “tools for economic regulation”, surveillance and 3% surcharge many don’t even know they pay.

Greatest response to the myth of racism was the response from Lil Wayne when mainstream sports and news fools tried to race bait him. He schooled them about how when he was 12 years old he accidentally shot himself and that “black cops blacker than me” called him a drug dealer while stepping over him bleeding out on the floor. It was the WHITE cop that scooped him up, rushed him to a hospital, and stayed with him until the doctor told him Lil Wayne would be alright.

Racism has always been mainly a tool of the “elite”, to divide and conquer. Their main target for several decades now has been white people…That’s an obvious fact. Actually the “elite” are children of Satan, and their target is the children of God…That’s the only two races there’s ever been in this world. Skin color is about ethnicity, not “race”.

@Kimberyote3 Research and also working with the spirit (Holy Spirit is the right one according to the Bible), because no one in the flesh can fully comprehend spiritual matters with his brain only…Yes, I know for sure the God of the Bible is my Creator, and the Creator of all things. The “gods” you are refering to, are Satan and the fallen angels. They are ruling this world, but not fully yet,….coming very soon unrestrained for a little while. It will be fascism with false promises of being immortal, enlightened…I hope many people do open their eyes and come back to our Father through Jesus-Christ.

Energys have a way of speaking you dont know…. people can feel when there’s tention? Its in your body language.
Have you ever had someone forcefully try to speak to you and you pick up on there vibe and its not a good one. Thats whats mainly happens with ( SOME NOT ALL) whites vs black and browns. Pretty simple because you guys where taught on the pretense of minorities being bad or beneath you instead of judging each individual.

@Joe Cope – No, no laws were put into place. It’s still prejudice and discrimination, just not institutional prejudice or institutional discrimination. I know for a fact that the American Psychological Association and the police discriminate against Italians, and it is clearly institutional prejudice and institutional discrimination. Try as you may, it’s just not all about racism. It’s not all about black versus white. There is prejudice and discrimination that hinders, impedes, and ruins lives without racism. That’s my point.

All the white people on here tired of hearing about racism 🤦🏽♂️ I can’t believe you don’t see the irony and ignorance in that emotion you’re feeling. The inability people have to step outside their own experiences and to be willing to try to understand situations which do not affect them ASTOUNDS me. People are still talking about racism because it STILL disproportionately punishes colored people.
People not liking white people is not the same as racism. The racism that my white ancestors have perpetrated on the rest of the world was based in a real and documented belief in their own racial superiority, believing they had a right to take what they wanted because of it. When people don’t like white people, it is distrust of an historically and provably untrustworthy people who took (and still take) advantage of other people groups based on the belief that their way of life is superior. That is not racism. That is racism backfiring. That’s what she’s talking about. If you’re tIReD of hearing about racism, then participate in routing it out so that it is no longer perpetrated on people of color and so that our descendants don’t have to bear the consequences of our refusal to accept our responsibilities. Damn.

The problem is not race the problem is that everyone thinks multiple races exist. We have made laws in the USA to guarantee that division continue. We are taught from birth that there are difference races and yet DNA has proven that their is only one race the human race. By the way Heather Main is not the whitest state in the Union Vermont is. On the mainland The District of Columbia is the blackest, New York-Newark-Jersey City the Asian Americans and Alaska has the most American Indians, who cares regardless if you are born here or moved here and become a citizen you are a US Citizen plus nothing minus nothing. This is not a black and white issue the Asian Americans born in this country have been attacked by both Black and White people stabbed and beaten, Asian Americans that have never been to Asia. Yes we have a problem and regardless if you want to accept it or not you are part of the problem. You are almost out you still have one foot in. It is unfortunate that we will never talk or have an opportunity to do so, if we did I might be able to set you free so that the limits that only exist in your mind could be dissolved and you could find your way out of the cave you are now in. Nice Talk it is just not exactly.

Being racist is a human inherent character trait. It goes very deep and will always be a thing on this planet. There’s nothing that they can done about that.
You would have to genetically modify babies and remove their racism gene for it to change.
I always firmly believed that most people are racists. Racism has many forms, many faces. That’s just the way things are.
So instead of going with the age old mantra ‘racism’ is bad yada yada yada, we have to learn how to work with it not necessarily against it.

Generally when people call someone racist, all they’re really doing is attempting to censor their speech because they can’t deal with their argument.
And generally calling someone racist is it self racist because the term is generally only used to bludgeon and silence white people.

The US real estate crisis WAS a crisis of overfinanced loans. US property markets are know for low equity rates and few regulations regarding the financing. Thats why other markets (i.e. Germany) with stricter regulations which reguire more equity and income are more stable. I’m really annoyed by these non real estate amateurs talking about it as if they would have a clue. No matter what race, all Americans (white/black/latin/asian/… ) overfinance and consume more than they can afford in case of unplanned negative ecomic impacts…

God I’m sick of all these ignorant people in the comments. Whenever a TED Talk has race or gender in the title, it gets disliked and people in the comments feel so attacked, even though no one’s attacking you… I guarantee half of the negativity in the comments are from people who don’t watch the video, look at the title, and say “A black woman talking about racism? I’m not racist just because I’m white! Why are white people always being attacked?”
Just put your judgments aside and watch the talk; it’s informative and interesting.
