theres approximately 3 black people in the entire state.

ETA: wait a minute. In the video he only mentions “lower income” households. He then says it would help reduce the burden of racial discrimination, but does not say its only for blacks.

That’s easy when there’s like 50 black folks in their state


WA has plenty of black folk.

You’re thinking of Oregon.

When the territory was settled Oregon decided it wasn’t going to be a slave state but they also decided black folk had to leave. Some headed home. Some headed north. Some headed south.

How do they define "black"? That could get interesting.

Much easier to get a good tan than actually change your sex organs, bone structure and add an Adams Apple, isn’t it?

The point of the covenant program is to help minorities.


Back in the day, homes there had covenants on them where they could only be sold to caucasians.


That’s why they don’t have many black people.

For a party that has lied for decades and took full credit for the civil rights movement and act, they sure do hate the civil rights act.

Obama did something similar with housing allowances and blacks flooded the primarily white areas in the city I lived in. Within 2 years the foreclosure rates on those properties was 25% but never fear taxpayers bailed them out. Also many recipients of the allowances were collecting the money but living with relatives.

Everyone should apply. If you get declined based on race, that’s a violation of federal law. Easy civil suits for big money.
