[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]  Yes, and when my elderly white parents could no longer keep up their house they sold it and moved into a place they could afford. Skin color has nothing to do with this, my parents were/are working lc and have been all their lives. They scrimped and saved for every repair, every single item they own. Are you saying I should pay for black elderly residents to improve their homes? No one offered to help my parents with the roof they could not afford, or the painting that badly needed to be done. And I surely couldn't afford to improve their home since I have a family and home to support. But hey, wtf, they're not POC so who gives two f s?[/quote]

You're fragile, bitter, and keep projecting -- with no basis in fact -- that commenters here are asking you to pay for special benefits for people of color.

The earlier point about elderly Black people in PP's neighborhood not being able to afford to maintain their house is interesting but a red herring here.    Any qualified Black purchasers of this house in Apartheid Acres or whatever the name of this magical neighborhood is won't face that constraint.  Indeed, it seems many of the Black families in my (marginally more integrated) MontCo neighborhood are on firmer financial footing that the whites.  Perhaps because they pay a premium to avoid neighborhoods where rednecks tell them, "welcome but be forewarned I'll expect you to keep your house and yard maintained and the noise down and I'm not going to pay for any special privileges for Black people."

It seems like you are seeing hate around every corner.  Not everyone is as bad as you think.  There are good people out in the world.[/quote]
