    Even after 1968 Fair Housing Act, Black families still struggle, BHN Real Estate Reports reveals

    About this Episode

    Black homeownership threatened by modern redlining tactics by banks

    When President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Federal Housing Administration (F.H.A.), created to assist homeownership for US citizens by providing federal-loan guarantees to prospective buyers, before the 1968 Fair housing Act, Black Americans were intentionally kept out of this housing governmental assistance for decades.

    The 1968 Act expanded on previous acts and prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, (and as amended) handicap and family status. Title VIII of the Act is also known as the Fair Housing Act (of 1968).

    This Act held high hopes to help integrate communities into diverse background and ethnicities, allowing the equity of quality living throughout all neighborhoods. Of course, flaws in this utopia-thinking continue to this day.

    BHN Talk Radio Show 2-20-24-PART 4:  Donna Summer's estate is upset with Kanye West, and Tina Knowles speaks up for daughter, Beyoncé
    Donna Summer's estate claimed "copyright infringement" and disapproved of Kanye West's use of the alleged sample of song, "I Feel Love," according to Billboard. So, he made derivative that is still questionable.

    Yahoo News reported that Beyoncé, who is known for her pop and RnB songs, released two country-style singles, "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages." Both are from her upcoming album "Renaissance Act II.“Last week, KYKC, a country music station in Oklahoma, rejected a request to play "Texas Hold 'Em," sparking a debate about who should be allowed to perform country music. The station later reversed its decision.

    Knowles hit back at critics on Saturday by resharing an Instagram video that showed old clips of Beyoncé in country fashion before the release of her new songs.Knowles said in the caption that cowboy culture was not strictly for white people, reminding readers that they grew up in Texas.
