A federal judge late last week issued a major
ruling that's going to have a serious impact
on housing segregation here in the United
States and not in a good way.
See here's what happened, a few months ago,
I believe it was May, actually, several cities,
states joined in a lawsuit against Ben Carson's
Housing and Urban Development cabinet position
because they wanted to away with the Fair
Housing Act which basically says you cannot
discriminate against people you can't segregate
the housing.
You know something that should be fairly obvious
but it had to become rule in 2015 because
it was so back still.
They were acting like these federal housing
units were all the way back in the 1940s.
So they finally passed this rule saying, "Yeah,
you can't segregate and you have to submit
plans to us to tell us how you're going to
de-segregate in order to get any kind of federal
funds for these publicly funded housing units."
Well, the judge on Friday ruled that, "Hey,
you know what?
I don't think they should have to submit these
plans.
I don't think they should have to tell you
if their housing units have basically become
segregated because there was so little oversight
in any of this."
That is a major win for this Administration
because now, they're one step closer to completely
gutting that Fair Housing Act that is basically
one of the only things left standing that
prevents federally funded housing units from
discriminating against white people and everyone
else.
Even though it's led by Ben Carson, you know
the only black person in this Trump Administration
that Kellyanne Conway was able to name the
other day, it still is one of the most racist
cabinets in this entire Administration.
That's one of the reasons Donald Trump put
Ben Carson in charge of it.
He knew that this man, regardless of the color
of his own skin, was going to whatever Trump
wanted him to do and the Trump Administration
wants him to discriminate against people and
that's what he's doing.
That's what this ruling is all about.
That's why they were trying to get rid of
that rule in first place and that is what
they're going to continue to do.
Carson, himself, has said, "We want to rid
of these rules because they're just too burdensome."
It's burdensome to make sure that a group
that you know is discriminating against people
doesn't discriminate against people?
You are paying them, these are federally funded
programs, they get money, our money, our tax
dollars from the Federal Government to provide
housing for low income people.
You, Ben Carson, think that it is okay for
them to discriminate against somebody based
on the color of their skin.
This is absolutely appalling.
This is institutionalized racism coming from
this Administration being spearheaded by Ben
Carson.
