Excuse me? Read the TITLE of the article.

And you might as well list the policy decisions that were racist in your opinion. What was the legislation?

What policies caused Blacks in inordinate numbers to locate to allegedly hot sections of cities? Can you name those policies? What policies caused Blacks to locate to areas with flooding risk?

Since you may need a little example, tell us what Louisiana policy caused a large number of blacks to locate to New Orleans and the Lake Ponchartrain, where the levee broke during Katrina.

You might even want to go back further in history to track the race of the few THOUSANDS who drowned when the levee of Lake Okeechobee burst during a hurricane in the early 20th Century. Oh, and those farmers were not black.

Those were the days of Democrat Jim Crow Laws. I would agree with you that Democrat policies have hurt Blacks for centuries. In big blue state cities with rent controls, lower income Blacks definitely were lacking in housing options.


It took a Republican President Reagan and Republican President Trump to expand the national economy to where Blacks were able to get high paying jobs at rapid rates. They were able to pull themselves up by bootstraps and achieve better lives.

If you have a problem with that, with the TRUTH, the source of your problem isn't some alleged "troll."
