First, racial violence is also a power whites have, so the power that might obtain in such a situation is hardly unique to non-whites, unlike the power to deny a bank loan for racial reasons, to "steer" certain homebuyers away from living in “nicer" neighborhoods, or to racially profile in terms of policing. Those are powers that can only be exercised by the more dominant group as a practical and systemic matter.

while I found almost the entire quoted article to be biased crap,
let's take this one paragraph because it is the worst of the lot.
I saw no proof for the allegations that blacks are denied loans based on race or that certain homebuyers are "steered" away from some neighborhoods.
the bank loan thing is pretty fucking cute in light of this
