Racism, a pool party in Texas and the Supreme Court
"....The events in McKinney make a stronger argument than could almost any lawyer for why the court should affirm the importance of racially and economically integrated residential areas....."
So—Section 8 housing across the street from the White Hut?
You don’t live in my gated community, and can’t go in a private pool which is paid for by me, and other homeowners who live here. I don’t care. Go away, and go buy a $5 sprinkler to cool down.
Wonder how long it’ll be before Obama starts ordering single family homeowners to give up their spare bedrooms for “poor families?”
The real barriers are drug use, substance abuse, breeding without marrying, income from government checks rather than working and an entrenched gang banger culture which preys on all of the foregoing.
I can show them scores of neighborhoods in flyover country which lack these self-created barriers, have functional schools, employed intact families, low crime rates and, more often than not, even lower incomes. Why do you suppose that is?
Obama is already wasting around $1T a year of our children's and grandchildren's money, just for political payoffs to his corrupt supporters. This project would take the level of waste to $4T a year and still not solve the "problem" that Obama sees in his tiny little mind.
Build section 8 housing in my neighborhood, and I'll leave, and the home values will evaporate. Build better schools, parks, libraries, and grocery stores in Baltimore, and they will torch the buildings during their next protest, while using the parks to deal drugs. I don't see either outcome as worth the burden the resulting debt would impose on the next generation.
Current and former Presidents never have to worry bout crime. We should make his kids go to public schools. Obama should not play golf, but only do inner city sports, in trash littered parks, and ride the bus.
Section 8 coming soon to (ruin) a nice community near you.
I’m sure all the pols in favor of this won’t mind low-income housing next to their homes, so let them start with their neighborhoods.
> Children growing up in poor communities have less of a chance of succeeding in life, because they face greater exposure to violence and crime, and less access to quality education and health facilities, Turner suggested.
Jennifer Lopez grew up poor and so did many others like Celine Dion and Shania Twain who are now very successful. Growing up poor made them who they are and it made them want to never live in poverty again. Giving people nice things when they are respectful is like buying candy fora hild everyday; just stop one day and watch their reaction . You’ll find that all you did was made them self-entitled, disrepectful little brats.

“Instead of living with neighbors you like and choose, this breaks up the core fabric of how we start to look at communities,” Gosar said. “That just brings unease to everyone in that area.”
“People have to feel comfortable where they live,” he added. “If I don’t feel comfortable in my own backyard, where do I feel comfortable?”
So much racialist illogic, so little time. If I am free to live among those I like, then I am equally free to not live among people I don’t like. Even if my motives or leanings are racist. Of course if I choose, for example, to live in a neighborhood where people tend *not* to park cars up on blocks or deal drugs or play loud music, then I am rejecting some kind of imagined diversity.
And by the way, should I feel comfortable in my own backyard, that’s racist. Isn’t it? Or at least privileged. Other people, you see, will figure this stuff out for me.
We have to make sure that crime, disease, violence and general squalor is ‘democratically’ distributed in ALL AMERICAN communities!
I’m glad I live in a VERY modest neighborhood in a very modest home... THIS area is not good enough for any self-respecting, grasping, demanding, ungrateful minority thug ! :)
By all means.
Everyone should plant weeds in their garden.
What makes a neighorhood “hardscrabble” is hardscrabble people.
The upcoming SCOTUS ruling on the use of “disparate impact” and statistics has been flying under the radar, overshadowed by King vs Burwell and Same-Sex Marriage.
But it’s just as important. If the government is prohibited from using statistical methodologies, as opposed to actual examples, to identify where racial discrimination exists and try to correct it, it makes it much harder to implement things like this.
Baltimore diversity
Stalin would be proud.
Actually, it might be fun to see so many of those RINO northeastern wealthy areas have this shoved down their throats:
Greenwich
Darien
Chappaqua . . .
Potomac
Merion
Could be fun . . .
Once again we focus on the symptoms of a dysfunctional society and conveniently ignore the root causes.
Of course, the root causes are not politically correct topics, so truthful discussion is not possible.
