Trump, With Racial Foghorn, Blows Up Right-Wing Rationale For Rescinding Fair Housing Policy
For years, the rights best think tanks and commentators have criticized an Obama-era anti-segregation policy by changing the subject.
Conservative scholars and officials have argued that the policy aimed at giving the feds more authority to fight segregation in housing was federal overreach on steroids, and that it could bankrupt poor communities in need of help.
Finally, on Wednesday, President Trump did what they have been asking for. He ended the policy.
But he also, as he so often does, screamed the quiet part loud, using an incredibly racist explanation for tossing the Obama rule out: suburbanites would no longer be bothered.

(12,507 posts)And I grew up here. I live about 3 miles from the very place I grew up. Wonder how trumpy would rationalize that. The house is gone and the beautiful forest that was my sanctuary has been preserved by a local foundation. The building that has my old home address is a sport medicine practice.
I have lived here like 80% of my life. I tried really hard when I was younger to get out of here ,but circumstances led me back here. So here I am.
