Last Week Tonight the Other Night
If you didn't see Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, his Main Story was on housing discrimination, mostly from the perspective of the government over many decades. It's a longer piece than usual, over half-an-hour, but very good. Infuriating for the most part, but he's able to get some good humor in. Along with a nice moment with old film footage of two women, Rose and Angie. My only quibble is when he gives his "solution" to all the problems -- he presents it with such certainty, but in the end he doesn't really offer a solution, only a suggestion on how to start a discussion for a solution. It reminded me a little of Steve Martin's joke on how to make two million dollars. "First," he says, "get a million dollars..."
