dam ur right. :o but you get my point. its true that upper and middle class blacks are tougher on poor blacks because they don't want to be associated with them. You didn't see Condi get outraged at the handling of Katrina (she as good as white) part of the man's system of oppression. |

maybe if poverty wasn't such a huge issue in america this wouldnt be a problem. go spend 5 bil a month on an oil war while people die in your own back yard. thats sound morals!!!!!! |
maybe poverty wouldn't be such an issue in the black community if they would stop being dependent on the US welfare systems, get jobs, limit the amount of kids they have to those they can actually afford financially, encourage education, and listen to EDM instead of rap...
but mostly listen to EDM... |

Housing Group Alleges Race Discrimination in Post-Katrina Renting
By Paul J. Weber, Associated Press
DALLAS (AP) - A fair-housing watchdog has accused five apartment complexes in Texas, Florida and Alabama of discriminating against Hurricane Katrina evacuees who are black. The complaints filed with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development were based on a telephone survey by the National Fair Housing Alliance.
The group said white callers posing as hurricane victims were treated more favorably than black applicants in 66 percent of its inquiries. NFHA president Shanna Smith said the organization used linguistic profiling to choose its testers, saying the test makes the race of the caller "pretty clear."
The report, released Tuesday, said blacks were less frequently told about available apartments, didn't have phone messages returned as promptly and generally had a more difficult time getting information from agents.
The complaints against three apartment complexes in Dallas, one in Birmingham, Ala., and one in Gainesville, Fla., also ranged from whites receiving lower rates to apartment agents informing black callers of no availability, moments after telling white callers that units were available.
Complaints against two Dallas complexes, both owned by Atlanta-based Gables Residential, include allegations that agents mentioned specific income requirement for black callers but not for whites.
Gables spokesman David Margulies said the company was caught off-guard by the report, adding that Gables has provided housing for more than 470 hurricane victims and donated $50,000 in hurricane-earmarked aid to the Red Cross.
"We are surprised and dismayed by these allegations," Margulies said. "That is not how we do we business."
St. Louis-based Michelson Realty, owners of the other Dallas complex, did not immediately return messages left at their offices.
Landlords who are found guilty of discriminating against applicants can face fines up to $11,000 per complaint, said Bryan Greene, HUD's director of policy for the office of fair housing.
Greene said HUD has received about 60 complaints from hurricane-displaced apartment seekers since Katrina forced tens of thousands to evacuate in August. He said some cases have been resolved, adding that HUD tries to settle issues before getting courts involved.
The NFHA's test included 65 sets of calls to apartment complexes in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas. Smith said each complex was called three times within a short period, twice by white callers and once by a black caller.
Smith said more complaints could be filed but said the group will wait for HUD to investigate before taking any further action.
The Washington, D.C.-based alliance is a consortium of 120 private, nonprofit fair housing organizations and civil rights groups from 37 states.

A single american can't live off of $3/hr, but a Mexican who lives with 10 other people in a household can because they all put they're money together, not to mention the welfare they receive. Seriously, come to Texas, you have no clue what goes on here in America. All you know is what you read. And the media these days, whether it be on Iraq or domestic issues, is horribly captured. You really can't believe anything in the media these days! |

| When crime has increased dramatically in apartment complexes since the refugee take-in, it wouldn't be human to take in more. A small amount of criminals makes for a huge generalization among one race. It is there fault, not the business owners who are discriminant to keep their tenants safe and their business secure. |

a completely true story: well, i with a couple of black buddies of mine tried to buy some moonshine from a local black moonshine producer. i was dumb enough to come out of the car and to the door of the mobile home the producer live in. he was responding amicably to my buddies and almost took their money, but when he saw me approaching a little bit later, he said that he suddenly started acting nervously nd "remembered" that he didn't have any moonshine left.
i guess i should go ahead and complain to consumer department or whatever.
how would you act yourself if you, an educated black person, would pick up the phone and hear "Wazzzup yo, we be lookin' for some apartments, you know what i'm sayin, for me and mah homies, for real dawg" - would you call back to this person more reluctantly? |
