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.
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.
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?
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.

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

I like how you never mention the rampant bigotry you all support. Kudos.

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
