JOHN JR---ON HOUSING!!!

HOUSING---the federal housing authority (fha) which is also known as housing & urban development (hud) was created by congress in 1934 because of the 'great depression' & was not originally intended for people of color who were still fighting for their rights---it was designed for white people that were losing their homes in record numbers, PERIOD---it has since evolved to where it is supposed to be more inclusive for all people &, that only came about because of our supreme court...to this day there is a great disparity between white & black home ownership that has nothing to do with financial income...while we may attribute 'housing improvement for all' to a certain political party &/or president, the fact remains that the democrat party was still adamant in their refusal to grant people of color the same rights as whites & that continued long after supreme court rulings against their actions...there are far too many articles (for & against) to post concerning this subject, however, i like this one---http://academic.udayton.edu/race/04needs/housing05.htm

when i look at the 2007/2008 housing market collapse, i can't help but feel for the people of color who were negatively impacted by it because for many, they lost everything & yes, i can actually point to the guilty party that could have prevented it---hell, i can even name them, however, i'll let you read them for yourselves here---https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2008/10/20081009-10.html... by the way, that's the same dodd & franks that wrote the dodd/franks bill after all the crap hit the fan...for those of you that like videos, there this---https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OKPFzOFYMg &, to further my point, hillary clinton was a seated senator & on the senate budget committee 2001-2002 & had to have seen bush's fy02 budget plans/requests &, as you now know, then senator obama took no action to ward off the collapse...& yes, we could go all the way back to the glass/steagall act & the weakening of it by bill clinton but, i think i've made my point, however, some of you will still call me a hater so, watch this video of the democrats trying to defend their actions &, i want you to know that had they of heeded bush's warnings, our housing market collapse may never have occurred...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcCs1yGO6aA...bear in mind that the dems were strongly connected with fannie & freddie & still are (do your own homework) & no, this post isn't about trying to absolve the repubs from any fault---it's about who has honestly been trying to help people of color with home ownership...

we can go back & forth on this issue all day, however, as it now stands, home ownership for blacks is at best, sad & there's a plethora of reasons for that---let's just sum it up to this; if the national rate of home ownership rises or lowers, that rate is directly related to the rise & fall of home ownership for people of color &, while there are other articles & stats to examine, there's this---http://blackdemographics.com/households/housing/ &, when you realize that home ownership has fallen all across our great country, you'll also have to realize that it's fallen even more for people of color---& yes, i could provide other links but perhaps you'll settle for this one---http://www.businessinsider.com/homeownership-rate-is-at-multi-decades-low-but-may-be-bottoming-2016-7...

while the dems do a great job of selling their ideas of home ownership to help the plight of people of color, i have to judge them by all of their actions & hey, they're not nearly as good as you would have me believe...

MORE DECEPTION!!!

hello america!!! here we go again with the BS---this monthly gov't bureau of labor statistics report (bls) says we added 255,000 jobs for july 2016 &, there are those 'so-called experts' that say the report is a good thing---READ ABOUT IT HERE  &, i have to wonder what math classes they attended because the truth is this---for the month of july 2016 we lost a total of 1,296,000 jobs---so please, do yourself a favor & subtract the jobs added from the jobs lost & then paint that same rosy picture---good people, those figures come from our very own weekly gov't report/just scroll down to the bottom of page 6 of this https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf & you'll see that all of our gov't officials (from obama on down) continue to lie about our jobs market--- & hey, this isn't my first post concerning our jobs market & in doing my own research, i've discovered that obama & company only talk about jobs added/gained & not the jobs lost & that is fact---here's one of my posts proving just that http://edagener.blogspot.com/2016/06/is-simple-math-that-hard-for.html...

& then, there's little thing called the 'national unemployment rate' which is currently 4.9% & that's the figure everybody refers to but hey, i'm here to tell you that it's faulty as hell &, here's why---'table a-15' from the same bureau of labor statistics report puts our 'real unemployment rate' at 9.7% &, hey again, all the figures are faulty because on 1 jan 2011, the bureau of labor statistics changed how they calculate the unemployment rate which in itself helped lower the rate that much more---because i'm such a nice guy, you can READ MORE ABOUT IT HERE or you can research it for yourselves instead of just accepting what all you're told as 'truth'...if everything were as it was under bush, our rate would be in the double-digits...

TO DIANE!!!

Diane---i must ask, why is donald trump being labeled a racist for saying what has already been said by those labeling him??? HMMM??? & no, i don't expect you to read everything in 1 day so, take your time & i hope you learn something from it...

TRUMP GOT IT RIGHT!!!

hello america!!! while it amazes me that so many people can watch the same thing at the same time & come up with so many convoluted opinions, what amazes me even more is how the media will tell us what a speaker meant & then, go on to tell us what should have been said---i.e; if i said 'the sky is blue' it somehow gets interpreted as, he said, 'the sky is not orange & cloudy'---that i meant, 'it wasn't raining'---&, some go even further to tell you how i tried to say, 'there is snow in alaska' &, some will tell you that 'i have a problem with inclusivity' because i didn't include the color green or red---&, we have those that will tie my original comment to my being against the moon (you know who you are)...

some of you are just looking for a speaker (any speaker you don't like & the opposite for those you do like) to make a mistake when speaking---you pounce on it & rehash it all day & you can't wait to be surrounded with those that think like you do---throughout all of that, the meaning of the message gets lost...

black people, what donald trump said should resonate with you more than with all other ethnic groups because (& you'll deny this) it was true---while there are some of us that have prospered for the last 7 plus years, the status for the vast majority of black people has declined & the numbers are backed up by our very own fed gov't & other sources---i posted this on the 17th---http://edagener.blogspot.com/2016/07/black-people-you-better-wake-up.html...while there are those of you laughing at trump, he's the only one that has spoken about the current plight of black people, PERIOD!!! what he said about chicago & all the shootings & killings are facts that the national media & our black president don't even mention nor do they put forth any plans to combat all that senseless violence---just look at how many black lives have been snuffed out for this year alone http://heyjackass.com/ &, there's this one  https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/2016-chicago-murders/timeline?mon=7...

you've been lied to & there's no other way i will phrase that---you're told our unemployment rate is a lowly 4.9% & that we 'add jobs' every month GOV'T REPORT FOR JUNE & everybody's happy & yet, nobody tells you the other part of that which is, we lose a million plus jobs a month---check out page 6/left side of the columns & do your own math https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf &, bear in mind, we've already lost 761,00 jobs for july &, we still have the reports for the weeks ending the 23rd & 30th still coming---we are losing jobs because::: our businesses are moving to other countries for less regulations, less taxes &, cheaper labor---technology & robotics are replacing human labor---legal & illegal immigrants are being allowed to work---welfare-like benefits are more enticing to many instead of working---&, there are millions of discouraged workers that have simply given up looking for work...

i really wanted to keep this clean without name-calling but, some of you are just plain stupid!!! which one of you idiots that now supports 'sanctuary cities' would still support them if one of yours was killed or raped by someone seeking shelter there & the police were restricted from going after them??? can you imagine turning bed-sty or harlem into a 'sanctuary city'---&, while i'm at it, all american women &, those of same-sex relationships need to read the quran & educate yourselves on exactly what 'sharia law' would mean to & for you because i honestly think ignorance is clouding your judgement---hell, all american men need to read it also...look, when we 'allow' immigrants to enter our country & they turn around & demand that we cater to their beliefs & culture while dismantling ours, i have a very big problem with that---you won't let me enter your home & dictate to you & hey, america is your home...

let's keep it real---obama & hillary (in 2006) were both telling us of the problems that illegal aliens pose to us & here is hillary in the flesh, sounding like trump from numbersUSA but, you never called her 'racist'---HMMM??? &, regardless of what you heard, our cia & fbi directors have testified under oath that we can neither vet nor track all the middle-east refugees that we've already allowed in & hillary wants to allow in 65,000 more---HMMM???

yes, america is ready for a female president---just not hillary---black people, you support her & don't even care that she she advocated for the clinton crime bill (which is still locking us up at unreasonable rates) or that she called us 'predators'---at least do your research on the party you support because, if it were up to the democrats, we'd still be in chains...

hillary clinton has already promised you (at least) 4 more years of the same which translates to no growth for people of color &, come next week at the dem convention, she'll say how she's going to elevate you but hey, she's been saying that for 25 plus years of public service---she has a public gov't record & it's far from being a good one...

HILARY, WHAT SAY YOU NOW??? WHAT??? YOU FORGOT ABOUT THIS???

hello america!!! hillary brings up trump's 4 bankruptcies as well she should &, for those that have a problem, have a look at this FROM POLITIFACT &, as you can see, she was correct---she was wrong when she said taxpayers had to bail him out---what she deliberately omitted was, the bankrupt &/or failing company's that have &/or will cost us money---as a seated senator representing ny & as sec of state, she never even bothered to mention all the money they have cost us &, she's pledged to give them even more of our money...here's a list from foxnews---

i'll take my chances with trumps business judgement any day compared to the business judgement of hillary, obama & all the people they've hired to guide them...

WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR COPS!!!

hello america!!! so, you don't like cops, that's your choice---you want to shoot at cops & kill them, that's also your choice---however, the next time you need a cop, don't call them, please call obama, hillary or black lives matter & tell me how that works out for you...

WHY ARE WE SO SILENT???

hello america!!! i have a very big problem & it's this---why are people of color so silent about all the senseless killings that occur within all the 'chicagos' of our country??? i can understand (but don't accept) the national media, obama & company &, the 'so-called' civil rights groups silence because those killings don't fit their narrative or agenda but, what is the agenda of the people of color???

look, let's keep it simple---as of this writing, for 2016 alone, chicago has had 361-370 murders (depends on the source)---348 of them have been people of color (287 black/61 latino) & nobody even mentions them---let a cop kill a black person & we lose our minds; the media feeds it to us 24/7; the big guns come out of the wood-work to soak up 'camera time' & then, everything just settles down & fades away...

if those 348 lives of people of color matter, where's the uproar???

&, just so you know, of those chicago killings, the police have killed 4 while wounding 7...
