Not the Onion: Obama Wants to “Diversify” America’s Wealthy Neighborhoods

I think an apartment building, possibly section 8, is going up on the 8 wooded acres behind my house. We’re going to try to sell before it gets started.

When they talk about “wealthy” neighborhoods, they’re talking about the middle class. Never mind that all these middle class communities have the exact percentage of minorities as the population. And the minorities qualify for the mortgages because they work. This guy wants welfare people living in middle class neighborhoods.

I think the guy is trying to start a race war so he can declare martial law. He may get his chance. When section 8 housing starts popping up all over the place and welfare recipients move in it’ll be time to do something. I hope Abbott has the guts to lead a secession of Texas.

This is what was behind the downfall of the Hidden Valley subdivision, NE of Charlotte NC.

Look up “Hidden Valley Kings” to find out more. It’s not a nice story.

...think Ferguson, then think Baltimore, if that's his idea of mixing, I don't think the people in my neighborhood will go for it...gonna take a lot of ambulances to clean up the mess...

[Kaslin]

We drove through Baltimore in late September or early October of 1966 from Upstate New York to St, Augustine, Florida. The area looked already rundown then

Crawl back under your rock from which you crawled out from you miserable troll

[MNDude]

remember, Rand Paul thinks there’s too many black men in prison. They’re going to remove felons from prison and move them into your currently safe neighborhood!

[JimRed]

Yeah, Mr. pResident, right after you diversify the universities by requiring 40% of their staffs to be conservative professors.

[Gamecock]

Right now I live in a fairly pricey development and have 8 neighbors.

Three are black. They are professional and have good positions.

I suspect that somehow that won’t be good enough anointed one.

[spodefly]

Give me lots of money so I can afford to live in a “wealthy” neighborhood, and I will go transracial and start an NAACP chapter in that whitebread hood. I will bring some diversity all up in that biatch.

[JimRed]

...San Francisco libs brag about being an economically successful liberal city. The truth is they drive the poorest of the poor away and support the rest.

I thought SF was a "sanctuary" city that welcomed the homeless.

[M Kehoe]

Good afternoon>

I suspect that somehow that won’t be good enough anointed one.

I have friends and relatives who are black that live in upscale neighborhoods. A few live in wealthy neighborhoods.

Most all of them didn't vote for 0bama the second time.

The whites that had been fleeing there are now either continuing on into PA or heading south to the Carolinas and such.

unfortunately, they are taking their destructive voting habits with them and working to ruin their new locales, without even realizing it.

[LouAvul]

You’re an idiot. You’re the troll.

[skeeter]

Why doesn’t this piece of sh*t just cut to the chase and begin exterminating whites, capitalist roaders and people who wear eyeglasses.

[LouAvul]

Are you genuinely that stupid? My point is that if the social architects who are forcing us to accept the multicultural/equality sham were forced to accept it in their own homes, we wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

Man, you're dumb.

[Dawn53Fl]

Seems his idea rings of “racism” to me. He’s basically saying we’ve got to build “cheap” housing so AA people can live near wealthier people. That is assuming that the AA population cannot afford better housing.

I’ve lived in an integrated neighborhood for 26 years. Golf course homes, upper middle class I’d say. There just wasn’t white flight in this neighborhood back in the 70’s, and the neighborhood remains integrated to this day with the buying and selling going both ways black selling to whites and other ethnicities, and vice versa.

We also have the lowest crime rate in the city, a very strong neighborhood association, crime watch patrols, and the neighborhood got together and paid for cameras to be installed in the area as a deterrence to crime.

So for Obama to insinuate that our community needs lower priced housing for more diversity, he’s basically saying the AA can’t do it on their own. I wonder how that makes my black neighbors feel. They came in on equal footing to a “wealthier” neighborhood, and they did it without government assistance or Obama forcing diversity.

[Kaslin]

Look in the mirror and tell me who is dumb, woman

[Sivad]

True....until the immigrants self-deport
unless they can acquire enough skills to
stay and earn enough to supplement their
govmint provided housing.

Always found it odd how integrated the Texas suburbs are. In the NYC metro area, middle class whites are a bit less amenable towards Hispanics and blacks moving into their communities. Not so much outright hostility so much as parochialism and the "cold shoulder."

Something like McKinney would never happen in a suburban community in NY or NJ, because the folks in question would never consider moving to a community where they know they will get the shoulder. Whether it's a good or bad thing depends on one perspective...

[Clemenza]

Funny thing is, NJ is statistically the least dependent of all 50 states on federal money. What NJ makes, the south and west take.
