Appeal up to the new, improved, Supreme Court, maybe they'll slap him down.
An overly developed sense of grievance can only be made worse by an unreaslistic sense of entitlement.
I'm a victim, I'm a victim, GOT ANY MONEY MONEY MONEY?
How about a house?
You are correct Montgomery is intgrated with rich blacks, Why shouldnt it take its share of the poor? Why foust them off on someone else.
The "war against racism" is largely a class and political war waged by rich and upper middle class, mostly white liberals (and their rich conservative and Republican collaborators) against working class and lower middle class whites. A phony crusade where those who have all the power pretend to be in a life and death struggle against those who have no power. It's one that gives them a sense of moral superiority as well, just a little something to make them feel smugly superior as they go from their largely segregated jobs to their largely segregated homes on roads partly built to protect them from bumping into the muliticultural polloi they so love in abstract. Their victims have fled and now they're pursuing them, not only across distance, but up the economic ladder as well, as the tamed and battered working and lower middle classes can no longer be presented as a credible foil.
Having said all that, I say that if we must have these types of programs they should be borne by the rich as well as the middle class. There's no reason on Earth why the rich and upper middle class shouldn't accept less of a percentage of the public housing they are trying to foist off on the middle class. In fact, they should get nearly all of it for a while to make of for the imbalance of the past, until that imbalance is rectified. What better "neighborhoods with better opportunities . . . for education, employment, safety and recreation" are there than these rich neighborhoods? Maybe they could employ their new neighbors as housekeepers instead of importing them from Central America. If certain laws were really applied to everyone they would be far less likely to pass, but such is the imbalance of power in this country today that laws like hate crime statutes and the "Fairness Doctrine" can be passed or threatened because those pushing them know they'll never be applied to them or those they favor.
Why not. Struggle like I did to get a good education and then a good job and you can live down at the beach with me.
Look at Detroit...one of the murder capitals in this country and they're having to lay-off policemen.
