- Big-shot real estate industry executives deeply abhor the “systemic” racism in the real estate industry – even though they have not identified or paid fines for any specific, independently-verifiable racist crimes.

America’s big cities have been beset by riots all Summer, resulting in the destruction of many homes and businesses and leading to a mass exodus from these communities to safer, more-suburban locales. We may be seeing the de facto abandonment of vast swaths of America’s housing stock. Homeowners who cannot flee will be hurt worst as prices plummet, with many of these stranded homeowners being black Americans – only just recovered from their last round of real estate haircuts.

About this catastrophic exsanguination of the black middle class, the big-shot real estate industry executives say: Boo. Not quite so, alas: Instead, they have actively pretended none of this is happening.
Imputed, ephemeral, non-demonstrable racism? Right on it!
The actual destruction of the best of the best of black America? Crickets.
That’s how much black lives matter to them.
Greg Swann says:
All sorts of overpaid functionaries affiliated with the #NAR declared that “black lives matter” in June. #Zillow and #Redfin announced racist hiring schemes, in open defiance of federal employment law, so crazy were they about the mattering of black lives.
Now as millions of black families are being ruined by the further consequences of the rioting, who among the predators who claim to “lead” us will speak out about this devastation and the political negligence causing it?
My bet is none of them.
