Ben Carson: Racially ignorant media don't know most minorities now live in suburbs
Just the News ^ | August 26, 2020 - 11:52pm | By Carrie Sheffield

I've grown to expect little in the way of analysis or truth from most of the media," Dr. Carson told Just the News in a video interview at the White House. "So many of them said that our policy is racist, and we're trying to keep suburbs white and silly stuff like that. You know, they don't know the facts. They don't know that 52% of African-Americans live in the suburbs, that 60% of Hispanics live in the suburbs, 62% of Asian-Americans live in the suburbs."

Carson told Just the News the policy change on suburban zoning was driven by a belief in the principle of federalism — decentralizing authority to empower state and local governments, who understand local issues better than Washington and are more more accountable to local voters, who have the most at stake in solving local problems.

What we're saying is the suburbs — and the people who are responsible at the local level — can run it anywhere they want, they can build whatever they want, but let them do it, not the federal government," Carson explained. "Because we want people doing things who are responsible to the voters and therefore will work in a way that makes sense in their various localities."

Because of the gentrification of down town areas. We need to burn them down and turn them back into areas where people of color can live depressed lives fearing gangs and democrats - you know - slums.

People of every color want the same things: good jobs, good schools, safe neighborhoods.

This isn’t about skin color.

But the democrats tell us that you are trying to use your white privilege to impose your desires on everyone else. What is wanted is not the things you list which are the products of social justice. They want social justice itself. They want to use the justice system to take vengence on all the people and things they hate or are jeloous of or ....

Decent people of every skin color may want that but we are dealing with awful people of every color right now.
This is all a class war. IMHO!

This is so true, however, the RATS need a permanent underclass to keep their ruse going. It's worked for over 60 years and they aint giving it up that easily.

I remember back in the 70’s my parents fought against forced busing.

Not because they were racists, but because they did not want us being shipped halfway across town to attend school in a neighborhood that was less than safe.

They actually sympathized with the desire of black parents to have their kids attending better schools.

My high school was naturally integrated because it was located in an area where several ethnic neighborhoods came together.

The democrat party wants illegals here as they will be easily controlled thru welfare and be forced to live in the cities with the section 8 housing and any perks the democrats give them at the expense of Americans. They know the blacks, American latinos are leaving the democrat plantation.
