President Barack Obamas administration showed Tuesday that he wants to pressure landlords to ignore the criminal records of would-be renters.
One inevitable result is that many law-abiding renters including many African-Americans will be forced to unknowingly live alongside felons they wish to avoid.
According to Obamas Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the disparate impact theory of racism says landlords are racists if they have a color-blind practice of excluding all felons from their buildings. That color-bind practice is racist, say progressives, because it has a greater impact on African-Americans than on whites.
It has a greater impact on African-Americans because blacks tend to commit crimes at a higher rate than whites, according to federal data.

Being a felon is now a race? This guy is an entirely new definition of stupid.He is simply fomenting resentment, division and anger to advance his political agenda. It makes no difference to him at all if it is complete BS. As long as his target audience believes it, it accomplishes his goals . . . and many of them do believe it.

Yes, a funny Eddie Murphy skit. There was another with Garrett Morris singing “I’m gonna take me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see” too, another hoot!

one day the use of credit scores will be banned as being racist. How long will it be until the King outlaws as racist the requirement for renters to pay a security deposit along with the first and last month rent before they can move into a rental property?

Who is the racist here?

Why don’t they just make illegal to charge blacks with crimes? Isn’t that pretty much the final end goal of all this?
