The idea that it's harmful to segregate black people from wealth and opportunity and that we should take steps to prevent and alleviate instances where that happens is not nonsense.The proposal is full of absolute nonsense with the overall idea that African Americans should be given preferential treatment for housing at the expense of others.
From my read this looked more like addressing attempts from secluded and segregated wealthy white neighborhoods from blocking any new developments that might usher in some racial diversity.There is absolutely nothing that prevents an African American from buying a home in my neighborhood, provided they have the money.
White people got those favorable loans and rates during New Deal policies that helped to subsidize white home ownership that helped create the white middle class.This proposals wants government subsidies to be provided, better loan rates, etc. to African Americans. Sorry, but that is not how it should go. I love how diversity is so important, but only in certain areas, not in sports, for example.
