    And that black Democrat spent eight years telling black people that they were dependent. The power behind your Democrats are not stupid. They're in this for the long haul, and will play whichever cards they need to to create and exponentially expand a permanent underclass.

    Or, the Slave Masters are so good at their job they've convinced 'minorities' that The Other is the devil, and to be feared. That's how evil works, ya know. Slide in as BFF.

    They could have had a POC woman with future friendly and unifying centrist ideas (Tulsi), or a Chinese American with a practical Asian approach to equality (Yang), or a Jewish old school commie wannabe (Berns), or a gay soy man (Pete), or any one of the many alternatives. But no, they went with the elderly Anglo-Christian male.

    And they think we're not on to them ... LOL.

    So, you are evidently a big fan of government agencies setting forth community plans....Interesting.

    It does the opposite. He's saying everyone has the opportunity to escape their lot. He doesn't think black people are helpless and stupid and in need of the White Man's help.

    NO ONE is forced to have children. It's a lifestyle choice.

    How dare you - or anyone - suggest that honourable hard working people who only have as many kids as they can support, fund those who feel entitled to do whatever they **** they like.

    And let's not forget that African and Indian migrants don't have the same problems - despite being black.

    Who are you talking to, Dude? I'm not a guy, and most definitely not a Rightist. I'm probably light years further Left than you, in fact.

    Are you one of these quasi-religious ideologues, who can't 'question god' for fear of being cast out of Paradise? Well I'm not. I'm more than happy to tear my own side a new one. We do not have the moral high ground. If we ever did, we lost it when we sold out to the Progressives (aka rich, clunky, racist, bored, white people).

    If you don’t understand the tricks cities use to reduce value on eminent domain I don’t have the interest to try an explain it to you.

    Being forced from your home is not a win and it is disgusting you would say that it is.

    Compulsory acquisition is transacted at above market value. Any impacted home owner can easily verify that that is so when the offer is made. If they believe it's not above market price, they have legal recourse to demand it.

    For many people, being able to sell their property at a premium without having to lift a finger to sell it, is a huge win. Of course some won't like it .. that's inevitable.

    Learn how to use the mini quote function please it’s not hard. I am not responding to all these little arguments. Either use the mini quote as one reply or just pick one thing to go off of.

    Because if we have freedom then we have responsibility. And sometimes the responsible thing to do is ask for help. Simple as that.

    Because you’re asking for a negative which makes it impossible to answer. If you want something not touched by racism you won’t find it. The age of empires saw to that. I hate to break it to you but the world is still recovering from something that “ended” less than 70 years ago. You don’t just let go of all that power at once. It is a quiet thing to fall, and the vestiges of that time will fall. But not for a long time.

    You have an amazing blind faith in the the government. It would never, ever, ever occur to you the government might not really give full market price since they get to decide what is full market price. But no, in your world the government is perfect and beyond ever doing anything immoral or wrong.

    What color is the sky of this world you live in?

    The market decides market price. The clue is in the name.

    Not if it was lack of responsibility which lead to us needing 'help'.

    The government decides what the market price is. Trust me on this one, we had land from our church taken so they could widen the road. We got appraisals from 3 sources and the government went with their version of a fair market price and it was lower than all 3.

    But I guess your blind faith in your government does make it easier to sleep at night

    No, it doesn't. Property prices are ever in flux, and that flux is a function of supply/demand. Govt cannot control demand, and has little influence on supply (since the majority of property is privately held).

    But the government still uses what they say is the market price. Do no have no understanding of this at all? The market price for my house is whatever someone will pay for it. If I get 3 appraisals I will likely get 3 different values.

    You may not know this, but there is no magic list that has the market price set in stone.

    Irrelevant. If someone refuses to live responsibly, they have no reason to ask for help - since they're already living their best life (as designed via those freely made choices).

    An investigation by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune shows that Homeland Security cut unfair real estate deals, secretly waived legal safeguards for property owners, and ultimately abused the government’s extraordinary power to take land from private citizens.
