Racists hate Julian Castro and HUD

[Anonymous]

A while back I started a thread because I support Hillary Clinton and believe that Julian Castro is a great choice for VP, for today and for the future of our country. You can check it out here:

Often, people come on and make comments like this:

The San Antonio mayoralty is a figurehead position with no power. HUD is a pretty third tier cabinet job. Even the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has more clout.

HUD or the Department of Housing and Urban Development is a Cabinet level agency with a $30 billion annual budget that was created in 1965 to address the issue of housing inequality. Back in 1965, minorities faced discrimination when finding a place to live that is unimaginable today. Even today, over $30 billion is expended to achieve the goal of fair housing policy and providing dignity and safety for millions of poor people.

Even with this important mission, there are those who can glibly say that it is a third tier agency that is inconsequential.

People who make these kinds of statements care nothing for the poor, the homeless, the weak and downtrodden in society. Basically this attitude is in line with mainstream republican ideology.

Republicans are against fair housing, housing, feeding and providing healthcare for the poor, including children, the disabled and even veterans.

Republican ideology is disgraceful.

Julian Castro is Hispanic and hated by racists for who he is, not for what he stands more.

But furthermore, racists hate HUD, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps even if it means children go hungry (women, infants and children or WIC).

Republicans and racists are disgraceful.

And they live among us in DCUM.

I"m a liberal who supports single payer healthcare and a robust food security provision to help those in need but I don't think HUD is a great idea.

HUD could be run a lot cheaper if feds had bigger say in local zoning policy. That's what kills the housing market - hud doesn't help.

From Greater Greater Washington:

The mid-rise Paris that we know today was built not by a democracy, but by a mad emperor and his bulldozer-wielding prefect. As Office of Planning director Harriet Tregoning said in a recent WAMU interview, "Paris took their residential neighborhoods and made them essentially block after block of small apartment buildings."

"If we were to do that in our neighborhoods, we could accommodate easily 100 years' worth of residential growth," she added.

If hud could regulate sfh vs. multi-family zoning over nimbys (many who are liberals in liberal cities) that would be more effective than throwing a piddly 30 billion on it.

I made the comment that hud sec is worse experience than his twin's experience being on HFAC and HASC. How is that being racist?

Am I racist for saying HUD is stupid (that wasn't my quote btw - the one that you used in your OP) but wanting to raze sfh in nw dc by fiat and put in parisian style 3-6 story multi-family flats with classic 5's or classic 6's inside? Do you realize how much supply would be increased, driving housing prices down and helping with racial integration?

The Republican racists don't respond to your posts. No one hates HUD, it's just not enough experience for the Presidency, and the VP is the President's understudy, essentially, so they need to be able to handle the Presidency.

I'm a fellow liberal, OP, and I don't deny the existence of racism. But I think your accusations of racism come too easily and make reasonable discussion difficult.

Also, if I could make a suggestion, since many find the emojis annoying, it might be good to choose a new signature. Maybe something like HRCguy, which is probably how most of us think of you.

I would much rather have a president who works for millions of people to have the basic security of housing, and a fair housing market than someone who makes billions building casinos, which are palaces of misery for the dumb, declares serial bankruptcy or makes a living through cronyism in the oil industry (bush).



And you can make fun of project housing and section 8 all you want, but millions had a roof over their heads due to these efforts, as imperfect as they were. But republicans, racists from the sidelines don't want to improve the system. They just want to throw nuts from the peanut gallery. The projects and other public housing were rough, but still better than what people had before, which were hovels without heat,running water or worse.

23:22 here. I'm not a Republican, as I've probably told you more than one hundred times. I don't support the Republicans, and I don't think Section 8 is a joke, I just don't trust Clinton, and I don't think Castro has enough experience.

Many people don't know about HUD and have no idea who Julian Castro is. Still others just don't care.

You implied that I, along with other posters debating you about this, were when you said that "republicans, racists from the sidelines don't want to improve the system". Also, I made many of the posts about Castro's lack of experience, and despite how it helps many people, it simply isn't qualifying enough for the Presidency.

Many don't know or care.

But they jump straight into hate without anything but a prejudice in their mind.

You are entitled to your opinion like everyone else.

But refrain from saying that I accused you of being a republican when I didn't do so.

And do something about your lack of reading comprehension.

I have outlined the relevant sections in bold text, to allow you to see specifically how you accused me of being a Republican.
