As President Biden pushes new racial justice policies, MSNBC’s Ari Melber shows how modern housing discrimination happens covertly, costing Black homeowners $156 billion dollars. Melber spotlights the story of a Black couple who sought an appraisal of their home, but received such a suspiciously low number that they brought in a second appraisal with one difference: they had a white friend pretend to be the homeowner.
