Two federal laws — the Fair Housing Act of 1968 and the much older Civil Rights Act of 1866 — make it illegal for both home sellers and their real estate agents to discriminate during a home sale. But more than 50 years after redlining was outlawed, racial discrimination remains an issue, housing advocates say. A multiyear undercover investigation by the National Fair Housing Alliance, a Washington-based nonprofit coalition of housing organizations, found that 87 percent of real estate agents participated in racial steering, opting to show their clients homes only in neighborhoods where most of the neighbors were of their same race. Agents also refused to work with Black buyers and showed Black and Latino buyers fewer homes than white buyers.
Nope. That would make bigger problems because now everyone plays the race card on everything to get people thrown in jail.
“He cut me off in traffic because I’m black.”
“Her dog shit in our yard because we’re Mexican.”
“The racism law unfairly targets white people, so it’s racist.”
I see that happen now even without the threat. Saw a guy who was clearly drunk enough to warrant public attention at a mall accusing police that they are only ‘picking on him because he’s black.’ All they did was ask him to leave. They didn’t even touch him. It was all kinds of a situation to behold. Note: he was very drunk and he was in no danger whatsoever. Just asked to leave the mall because it was freaking some kids out that he was getting wild and punchy cuz of too much glug glug juice.
