Now, we might've held him

He was a soldier, our brother.
For that, we ain't

You elevating to be a god.
I bet Claude going

So you went to plant
that seed with Claude.
A'ight.
Look, we get Claude to get Remi on board

Then we make an alliance

Kind of expensive for a

[OLDER MEECH] Homeowner
associations began popping up
in the mid-to late 20th century
and mainly served to separate the whites
from the Blacks with anti-Black racism
embedded in their policies.
Detroit's James T. McMillan
erected the concrete
"Birwood," "Eight Mile," "Wailing" Wall
to segregate white homes from Black ones
so the Federal Housing Administration
would grant his loan for
an all-white subdivision.
In 1935, the Home
Owners' Loan Corporation
sent agents across the
nation to grade homes.
Though Black homeowners
were just as likely
to pay their mortgages,
Black neighborhoods were redlined,
preventing generations of Black people
from home-ownership and
increasing the wealth gap.
I got the DEA, FBI, APD,
and now an HOA to worry about.
