    And they can be helped by this program too, if they are living in formerly redlined districts

    "Harris’ plan would offer down-payment and closing cost assistance of up to $25,000 to renters and families living in redlined neighborhoods. The policy proposal also requires credit reporting agencies to include payment histories for rent, phone and utility payments, which would address credit problems for people who don’t have auto loans or credit card accounts"

    I don't see anything in any article on it that says it is ONLY available to blacks and I challenge you or anyone to find any language saying that ONLY blacks will be eligible for it. (Mind, NOT just saying that it will benefit LOTS of blacks or even MAINLY blacks, but saying it will benefit ONLY blacks, and be LIMITED TO BLACK PEOPLE ENTIRELY BY LAW, which is what you seem to be maintaining )

    It is indeed true regardless of color, ethnicity, gender, etc. I hate to say it, but a lot of people don't like school (I didn't) and hit the exit as soon as they could get a job. They were weak students in the first place and are now coming back to school years later.

    People who think blacks have a tough time of it have a point--they often have a harder time--but the appropriate solution is to help people based on need. If blacks have a harder time, they'll get more help because they need more help. We avoid an absurd situation where a black (or other minority) who has plenty of help already gets help that should go to someone who needs it. Help should be color blind, ethnic blind, and gender blind.

    So in her own words its purpose is to help black people but because you can't find one specific phrase you're saying it isn't racist?

    How many times has the left screamed racism over something that affects all races but affects, in their minds, too many minorities?

    You lefties really will do anything to defend another lefty....even if it makes you look like you are incapable of rational thought.

    The lefty hypocrisy train rolls on.

    Actually the hypocrisy train is in the roundhouse for repairs, but the Trump Train, also known as the Misleader or the Liar's Express is leaving soon on Track 29.

    I'm not calling it racist because it's not got the "one specific phrase" that says noone but those of a certain race can use it. That's sorta how you're supposed to make sure something is racist before you say it is. You really should be careful how you interpret and report what's said in stories and by pols. It can make you look like you're lying through your teeth and since your Great Orange God does that like breathing people might get the idea you do too.

    It's CRIME, what is Harris proposing to rid those neighborhoods of CRIME such as this the second occurance this week on South Street

    ‘They’re So Disrespectful’: Philadelphia Police Investigating After Several Teens Steal Items, Throw Ice At Wawa Customers
    PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Police are investigating after several teens stormed into a Philadelphia Wawa on Wednesday afternoon, stealing several items and throwing ice at customers. The chaotic scene unfolded at the Society Hill store on the 500 block of South 2nd Street around 3:45 p.m.

    For the second time in less than a week teenagers stormed into a South Street business. Workers are fed up and want these “disrespectful” teens punished.

    “They’re so disrespectful. They have no morals at all,” Fred Bedford, who works on South Street, said.

    Instead she comes up with a racist policy.

    Because government involvement in encouraging home ownership worked out so well last time.

    I'm convinced there is no genetic basis for the problems in black communities, a collective cultural responsibility of the "black community," or a responsibility of the so-called "white community" for all the problems.

    We have a problem we all have some responsibility for fixing.

    My problem with Democrats like Harris is her unwillingness to say anything critical of black people for their part of the problem. Do you remember "The Jeffersons" on tv? The lead black character was racist and was often rebuked by his black wife for his actions an comments. We're miles away from liberals acknowledging black racism. That, in turn, makes it more difficult to get white folks to look at their attitudes.

    Yes, you are more Trump-like than Trump. Congrats. The real issue is why skin color should be a determinate for lending money. Maybe she noticed that there were still a few Savings and Loans still in business!!!

    As I said you know not of what you speak and the opportunities that are out there.

    Here another one. Our advance maritime school.

    At no point did my site refute the idea that they were discriminating black people for being black. You claim this without quoting where you think it says so.

    So like imperialism.

    Please tell us why you think black people aren't capable of cleaning up their own communities.

    If a white community has a problem, should we call in the asians to fix it for us.

    I never said you lied. When did he molest his daughter?

    Don't forget there is a topic.

    We have trained generations of American inner city blacks (and increasingly latinos) to rely on free gibs from the government for their existence. This massive cultural problem can't be fixed outside of change to entitlements. Single motherhood should be punished rather than rewarded. If you have a kid while you are on welfare, that child should be taken away and raised by somebody else. Get yourself off welfare, get your kid back. I know this would work. I have 100% confidence in that. I also know with 100% certainty that this fix will never be applied and that the problem will only get worse. When the demographics change to the point that there are more teat suckers (welfare recipients) than teats (taxpayers), that is when the crap will hit the fan. Given the rate at which Democrats are bringing in teat suckers, it shouldn't be long now...

    Wow. That was a long way of saying you can't respond to what i said.

    Hilarious that you tried to go on an off topic trump rant to distract from your inability to respond (this has nothing to do with trump). It would've saved you time to just not respond......food for thought.

    Good to know. And I agree, it's a symptom of excess - hence its limitation to only the richest nations.

    The First World needs a good famine. That'll smash all such grotesquely trivial vanities in a week. Deplorable rural rednecks with MAGA hats (and guns/knives/bows) will suddenly be courted as Great Saviours.

    We already DO teach them, when they want to learn! You cannot make people learn, you can only offer the education.

    How is this not obvious?

    No one is arguing against the civil suits (heck, no one is even discussing it but you), we're asking HOW THEY DETERMINED BLACKNESS. And you still haven't answered.
