NPR: "Some white Oregon homeowners are selling at a loss to Black and Indigenous buyers"

Explain

I don’t want to stop the transaction. People can do whatever they want. But I think it is pathetic and stupid, and a sign of the times.

Republicans are the whiniest snowflakes who ever lived.

Another snowflake whiner. You don't care, but you must whine.

People can do whatever they want and your opinion is irrelevant, chucklehead.

He means the white ones who refused to buy from or sell to minorities.

But, you completely miss the irony that it is/was not a conservative news source running the story.

The only ones into everyone’s sh-t in this case, is NPR.

Being a "liberal" in America has always been about indoctrination and shoving woke values down people's throats.

How many in Martha’s Vineyard sold their homes to the border crossers?

Go hide in your safe space, snowflake. 😂

Liberals are good at telling people what they should do.

Exactly. I'm way closer to being a black man than I am a woman (of any race), and if I chose to say I'm a woman, people would celebrate.

How does that even work? "Well, normally, I'd ask $220k for this house, but since you're black, I can go as low as $200k. But that's my final offer!"

I would celebate if you chose to say you are a woman.

They didn't get there overnight. Also since you unsurprisingly brought it up, the whole oppressed vs. oppressor narrative which leftists use as the rationale for imposing their totalitarian regimes upon others is exactly how you get to 60-100 million killed. The sad irony in the Cultural Revolution is that Mao used the Chinese masses who bought into his personality cult as a weapon so that they would turn against each other, essentially leftists against leftists, to restore his power within the communist party.

All you virtue-signaling libs on LRC, I'm hoping the next time you sell something (yard sale, Craigslist, whatever), you have a price list for the item:

"Barely used! Excellent condition! Blacks - $, Natives - $$, Hispanics - $$$, Whites and Asians -- $$$$."

Nice story, and I will contend that it's real value is in raising awareness as opposed to actually addressing a huge, systemic problem in any measurable way.

From the article: "PDX Housing Solidarity launched last year and has so far helped seven families buy homes in Portland. Sometimes, the group connects people who will sell below market prices. Other times, it facilitates cash gifts for down payments."

Seven families out of a major city in a vast country is nothing more than window dressing at that. But it does get attention to a real problem and that is good.

Or is it just a feel good drop-in-bucket response to something that needs systemic change regionally and nationally?

I disagree with your premises of "huge, systemic problem" and "needs systemic change regionally and nationally" and "real problem" for all the reasons you are undoubtedly aware of.

So, I don't think much of the gesture being made by the people the NPR article refers to. I think it's based on their very skewed perception, probably heavily media-inspired, of how the real estate market works and has worked for many decades, and/or their even larger skewed perception of racial issues in America. Or its just ridiculous virtue-signaling. Either way, some very lucky people got a windfall. More power to them, I guess.

According to the example in the article, the seller has generational wealth; i.e., they made their money by being born to the right parents, and any "loss" is no loss at all.
