Washington State's New Home Loan Program EXCLUDES White Buyers
Comments
-
The new assistance is open to Washingtonians who can show either that they lived in the state before April 1968, when the Fair Housing Act outlawed housing discrimination, or that they are the descendant of a parent or grandparent who lived in the state at that time.
State guidelines allow homebuyers to qualify if they are Black, Hispanic, Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, Korean or Asian Indian.
Whether you think this is a good idea or a bad one, there were (and still are) racially restrictive covenants in Washington. It's surprising they only became unenforceable as recently as 1968.

or that they are the descendant of a parent or grandparent who lived in the state at that time.So it’s just another form of reparations to make up for racist Democrat policies of the past.
Thanks for clearing that up, dumbass.

So its unconstitutional and racist and H must Defend it
-
So how are Washington home buyers in 2024 affected by racial covenants that were illegal in 1968 and I'm guessing at that time were never being enforced? Question asked but never answered.

Revenge on whitey

Racism is alive and well in the demonrat party. Now they must pretend to like some races. If they quit voting for them this election they'll call to bring slavery back.
-
A question the left never ask themselves. I mean who actively supports pedophiles, groomers, child sex traffickers, men in women's restrooms, violent criminals, and racial discrimination?
-
I like how you never mention the rampant bigotry you all support. Kudos.

Such as….

But the election ended in an overwhelming defeat. Seattle voters rejected the open housing measure by a margin of almost two to one. 55,448 voters supported the anti-discrimination law, while 115,627 said no. Four years would pass before City Council finally passed a law prohibiting discrimination in the sale and rental of housing.

1964
OK

There are plenty of reasons to disagree with this policy. But arguing that what happened in 1968 is too remote to be relevant is not one of them.
I have memories that old. So do you, old timer.

Not discriminating against white people is “bigotry” according to the fucked up Far Left.
-
It’s so rampant that we won’t get any examples.
-
So do the grandkids of people who don’t really have to prove their grandparents lived in Washington, the horror!
Again, it’s just another form of reparations, as H proved in his bolder OP highlights.
-
It is completely irrelevant and illegal and unconstitutional
Other than that no problem
-
No one is stopping you from making that case.
But you haven't.
-
The case is made. Discrimination based on race is illegal and unconstitutional
You democrats never learn. 1964 you were voting against the Civil Rights Act. I guess that still matters today. Vote for Trump
-
Washington State law already allows homeowners to affirm restrictive covenants are illegal and noted in closing documents related to the property.
Not many people actually do it. Why? Because it’s illegal to discriminate on the basis of race and they can buy the house they want
-
Incorrect. Strict scrutiny is applied, to be sure.
-
That's really beside the point. We've seen past wrongs remedied before, however imperfectly. That's the argument for this one.
-
Democrats just don't get it
-
It's an unconstitutional argument Gladys
-
Assuming the truth of a proposition you seek to prove is a lot easier than doing the hard work, isn't it?
-
Now we are back to the 40s and another democrat who discriminated by race
Defend racism all you want H its on brand. And unconstitutional
Bigot
-
The Japanese Americans interned were clearly identifiable and incurred actual damages
The “my dead grandma wanted to buy a house in xxxx” don’t fly.
The Throbber has already gone on record as stating negotiate a price and then STFU about reparations.Nobody ever wants to surrender their victim/virtue signaling status
