Only one race is allowed to be "poor?"

Need you ask???

[Sue Perkick]

Only one is allowed to be a perpetual victim.

Wonder how they will qualify for the loan with all the new strict income verification needed? This will be an interesting story to follow for some reporter who wants to see how “successful” it will be?

American of Italian (Naples to be exact) heritage here... my little group is pretty hard to come by here in the Lone Star State.

I was up in north TX earlier today... I would like a voucher for a nice little plot of land (2-3 acres) in Frisco or Prosper or Celina... where can this NY "yankee," Roman Catholic, dyed-in-the-wool, Texas A&M Aggie, conservative (should be a "protected" class) sign up for one of them vouchers?

I also was in North Texas today and like you I would like the opportunity to live in that area. Yes, I’m white, but I am economically deprived compared to many in that area who have so much more than I do. I would like to live in a 4 bedroom home with a nice pool in McKinney’s Stonebridge development. Do you think the McKinney Housing Authority would want to help me?

“Maybe they will also give vouchers to the white people who want to live in a black neighborhood in Section 8 housing.”

They send those to a shrink for annalysis.

"My Irish ancestors were victims of "past discrimination". Can I have some free stuff too? "

Only if you're 'Black' Irish. (ahem)

I want a voucher for a suite in the governor’s mansion

They may be willing to let you live there until they clean up the fire damage.
