CHICAGO -- When the Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968, it barred the outright racial discrimination that was then routine. It also required the government to go one step further — to actively dismantle segregation and foster integration in its place — a mandate that for decades has been largely forgotten, neglected and unenforced.

Now, on Wednesday, the Obama administration will announce long-awaited rules designed to repair the law’s unfulfilled promise and promote the kind of racially integrated neighborhoods that have long eluded deeply segregated cities like Chicago and Baltimore. The new rules, a top demand of civil-rights groups, will require cities and towns all over the country to scrutinize their housing patterns for racial bias and to publicly report, every three to five years, the results. Communities will also have to set goals, which will be tracked over time, for how they will further reduce segregation.

Great news. Now, if we could just get ni, uh blacks in banking.

I like this part of it

"Or families can’t find the right-sized home in the 90-day window the housing authority gives them, or the right-sized home turns out to be in a place where you’d need a car."


Looks like we need to be buying them cars now.

They won't be happy until we are all singing "The Internationale".

I think we're okay. We keep our two away from each other as much as possible.

Separate cells?

Or at least taking turns.

That works

Obama et al, won't be happy until every black family ( if you can call single parent homes a family), is exactly like the Jeffersons...

" oh we're moving on up, to the Big Time.. With a DE Lux apartment in the sky...."

Mr Jefferson had a job.......

...and a wife.

And a maid

As an aside, I think I was racist the other day, for the first time in my life. Some black kid was standing at the grocery store door, holding a shoebox and asking if I would "supote his bassetball team". I didn't. Because he was black. And illiterate. And I hate "bassetball". And he was not from the area. But mostly because he was black. I think. I'm not sure.

I ran into the same crisis of conscience with a Jewish kid doing the same thing the other day.

Not to mention The pain it causes the poor basset!!!

A totally White neighborhood that rarely has a house for sale will be damn hard to bust. What about folks who live out in the country? How do you integrate area's that require the purchase of 20 acres? 100 acres?? This has failure written all over it.....

From one of the images in the article:

"All-white neighborhoods in Chicago have largely disappeared, but predominantly black areas have stayed that way for decades"

with statistical summaries since 1960.


What do they propose to do about that???

Messkins like in Mexico messkins are buying acreage around here like nobodies business. Don't seem to have any issues as to coming up with the cash! Houses too!!!

They were smart and put away 20% of the $2 a day they've been earning so they could move to Merica and buy a houez.

As the yankees say, they are just poor hardwork7ng family folks trying to make a living. Yeah, stealing everything not tied down and selling drugs.

Obama the Egalitarian.

Ghettos for every community and neighborhood.

Seems like every single day it's something...frigging liberals have the pedal to the floor.

Finally some one who hates baseball! I hate it with a passion, on tv its worse than watching golf or bowling. I wouldn't have give him $hit either. My kids both played baseball and they didn't stand and beg for money,,, I coughed it up.

Not bayball...bassetball.

Cracka.

Not Fair housing but Forced housing

I'm sure the .gov will declare all coal to be diamonds to pay off the natty debt, right after all turds are polished to a mirror like lustre.....

All that's going to accomplish is drive up land prices in the rural areas as the white folks move farther out into the boonies!!

Social engineering at its absolute worst.

DC is determined to overcome any and all local control of the most basic details of freedom.

Why do I feel like this means that African Americans will get gov money to buy my neighbor's house but an equally poor white family won't?

A Confederate flag or Lawn Jockey makes for good deterrents...

This is the "School Busing" integration in our present day form.

In typical liberal fashion, leave nothing to chance. Mandate it. Guess who loses here?
