Trump again attempts to stoke racial divisions in housing message

Trumps racist message collides with diversifying suburbs.

7/30/20
President Donald Trump sought to stoke racial divisions Wednesday as he touted an administrative rule change on housing that he hopes will appeal to White suburbanites who have been abandoning him amid his handling of coronavirus and his views on race. Trumpeting his rollback of an Obama-era rule meant to combat segregation, Trump informed "all of the people living their Suburban Lifestyle Dream that you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low income housing built in your neighborhood." "Your housing prices will go up based on the market, and crime will go down," Trump went on in his message posted to Twitter. "I have rescinded the Obama-Biden AFFH Rule. Enjoy!" He was referring to the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule, a mandate enacted in 2015 as a way to bolster the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which outlawed restrictions on selling or renting homes to people based on race (and which Trump and his father were accused in a federal civil rights case of violating in 1973). n its official definition of the rule, the Department of Housing and Urban Development says AFFH is designed "to take meaningful actions to overcome historic patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, and foster inclusive communities that are free from discrimination."

But Trump and his advisers have characterized the rule as overly burdensome and moved to reverse it starting in 2018. Trump has taken to proclaiming the move now in an attempt to reverse his slide among White suburban voters, who helped propel him to the White House in 2016 but are now souring on his performance. The President's political advisers have watched with concern as polls show support for him softening particularly among suburban women, including those without college degrees -- due both to his handling of the pandemic and his divisive views on race -- according to people familiar with the matter. Critics said the rollback removes racial protections. The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law said it will "eviscerate all oversight of state and local government compliance with fair housing laws."

Donald Trumps inherent racism is right here before you. A brazen dog-whistle intended to lure white suburban voters into embracing Trumps fondness for racial segregation.

Straight out of the 1967 Alabama of George Wallace, or the housing bigotry and racism that Fred and Donald were sued for by the US government for in 1973.

The is the America Trump wishes to recreate, the ugly America of racial non-inclusiveness and white-supremacy.

MAWA. That's what the Trumpster cult and the Trumplicans want. 2016 and up to now and going forward is their last hurrah.
 
Low income-housing in the Burbs = lower property values, possible crime increase.

They built low income housing in my town 2 years ago. How come my property value has gone up?

What makes you say that crime will go up? Middle class, upper middle class and upper class people don't commit crimes?

I don't think he needs to recreate it, Trump is just successfully bringing it back to the surface (or is that the same thing?) I haven't heard his supporters denounce, accuse or ridicule his racism. Essentially half of our country are racists, or they lack the backbone, or courage to call a spade a spade...
