With Black populations of 15M-30M in US during that period, that means 3M-7M counterexamples to the implication that was impossible to be an American homeowner in your 20s (or child living in a home) if “your skin was black or brown”. At least in the late 1900s.
Since you referred to America as “there”, I have to assume you don’t live in the US. You can do basic online research, though. Please present contrary evidence if you have it.
It was relatively easy to own homes in rural and semi rural America in the 1900s no matter who you were. The communities might have been segregated, but one of the most charming neighborhoods I discovered while biking on the East Coast was a small rural Black village hidden back off the main road. It was like going back in time 80 years. Slow-paced, modest, quiet…a real gem. Guessing they wouldn’t have wanted a White boy there, though.
