I didn’t insult you? I said you may be ignorant because some posters were young when joe Biden was an open racist. As for deflections I asked you a specific question about laws that trump has passed specifically against black people and you brought up “words” “talking points” and “proposing legislation” that is a deflection. I can post an avalanche of laws that joe Biden has used to destroy the black community. If you can’t answer the question that’s fine but don’t call someone a trump supporter because you can’t be accountable for supporting a racist.
Trump Administration Eliminates Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule, NLIHC and other Advocates Condemn Action, Rhetoric
Trump Administration Eliminates Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule, NLIHC and other Advocates Condemn Action, Rhetoric
Jul 27, 2020
The Trump Administration abruptly issued its final rule, “
Preserving Community and Housing Choice,” which repeals 2015 regulations implementing the statutory obligation to “affirmatively further fair housing” (AFFH). NLIHC and 14 other civil rights and housing organizations issued a
media statement condemning the administration’s action as well as the president’s use of incendiary racial rhetoric about the move for political gain.
The 2015 regulations, which were suspended by HUD Secretary Ben Carson in 2018 (see
Memo,
5/21), were the first significant regulations since the Fair Housing Act of 1968 requiring federal agencies, particularly HUD, as well as states, counties, and cities to affirmatively further fair housing if they receive HUD funds. The Fair Housing Act not only banned discrimination, but it also required meaningful actions to undo decades of federal, state, and local discriminatory policies and practices that resulted in segregated communities.
The
announcement about the final rule on July 23 follows President Trump’s recent false Twitter claim that the AFFH rule was having “a devastating impact on these once thriving suburban areas,” would “destroy the suburbs,” and was “not fair to homeowners.” The preamble to the final rule states that after reviewing Secretary Carson’s proposed AFFH rule (see
Memo,
1/13), “the President expressed concern that the HUD approach did not go far enough,” and “The President therefore asked HUD to reconsider the rule to see whether HUD could do more…to empower local communities and to reduce the regulatory burden of providing unnecessary data to HUD. After review, and based on prior internal discussions, HUD produced the current rule.”

Affirmative action guidelines dropped by Trump administration
07/03/2018
The Trump administration on Tuesday scrapped Obama-era guidance on race-based admissions policies — just as conservatives see a fresh opening to end affirmative action through a changing Supreme Court.
The move comes as a closely watched court battle over Harvard's admissions policies — which has emerged as the next front in the fight over race-based admissions — heats up. Civil rights groups see the Trump administration's decision as part of a larger effort to scrap affirmative action, which has been upheld repeatedly by the Supreme Court, though that could change with the appointment of a new justice soon to be picked by President Donald Trump.
The Justice Department announced it was eliminating 24 federal guidance documents that it deemed "unnecessary, outdated, inconsistent with existing law, or otherwise improper."
Seven of those were documents issued jointly with the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights under the Obama administration that called on school superintendents and colleges to consider race when trying to diversify their campuses

Now, if your take about the crime bill being racist because it disproportionately affected Blacks, how would you not classify these recent
actions by the Trump administration as racist?
