The Trump administration is working to roll back former President Barack Obama’s efforts to combat racial segregation — potentially making it easier for banks to deny loans to black and Hispanic people or for cities to confine poor families to minority neighborhoods.
“They’re trying to eliminate the ability to enforce fair housing,” said Lisa Rice, president and CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance. “They do not want to promote fair housing. They do not want to eliminate the vestiges of discrimination.” Carson called Obama’s system too burdensome and said last year that it was “actually suffocating investment in some of our most distressed neighborhoods.” This month, he moved toward scrapping the tracking system with a proposal that doesn’t include the term segregation.
HUD says its proposal brings the policy in line with a 2015 Supreme Court decision that said liability for unintentional discrimination “must be limited" to ensure employers can make "practical business choices."as an abdication of the agency’s responsibility under the Fair Housing Act, even as black homeownership hovers near its lowest rate since segregation was legal. The white rate is about 73 percent, compared with a little under 43 percent among black people.
joncoopertweets This is what a racist person who raped a child would do and trump did just that
Fake news
NEW NEWS this evening John Bolton’s New book.Includes President Trump telling him in August that he was holding back the aide until Ukraine announced investigations into Bidens and Dems. Do you believe Senators should vote for witnesses &/or documents that prove or disprove this?
That's just wrong!!!
Benito Mussolini is alive and kicking in Washington
A racist in a true sense of a word, I hope the person who said in Davos Africa loves Trump will read this, I don't think he will have the same notion about him
Trump genuinely gets pleasure by inflicting pain and hardship on others and if our great President Barack Obama has anything to do with something good Trump just wants to obliterate it. He’s insane.
Somebody tell me again how this is good for our nation Maybe if the same rules took effect in rural white America, someone would finally realize this man needs to go. He's making the rich richer and the rest of us are barely hanging on. IMPOTUS
This is Trump new world of Racism realDonaldTrump POTUS
Hate message
If anyone has the notion that Trump isn't racist, this is it.
Of course, cause most of his base are rural. They don't care about the cities, whcih I didn't know there was hate there until I moved out of the city. But that's what's going to happen, then they'll be bitching that we are taking their land.
joncoopertweets Now we got something else we have to fight for. We are going freaking backwards & don’t tell me he’s not a freaking racist. I can’t imagine what is being done to HUD with Ben Carson in the dark. Please SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler RepMaloney please open an investigation ASAP!
joncoopertweets What is wrong with him?
joncoopertweets The Onion has a News pro pic?
Yep. Connect the dots America. tRUMP’s actions speak much louder than his words. His words are lies (16/day on avg). He’s the “Lyin’ King”
Living in the past
More horror. We’re moving backwards instead of leading by example. Haven’t we done all this before and we just commerated the death of a man who fought for justice and equality.
Remove the regulation to allow 'banks to invest in inner-city projects benefiting outsiders instead of local residents' Is not it common sense to use money for economical gain? Did not California dig itself into housing crisis by doing opposite?
joncoopertweets But he talk about the homeless everyday. Now he will put more people on the street!!!!
GOD COME FOR YOUR WORLD. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR.
Race should not be a qualifing or a disqualifying factor in getting a bank loan.
Why is that y'all president Donald Trump always doing destructive action y'all unitedstate president Donald Trump don't like black people nor he don't like no poor people
This
Despicable.
First Trump whitewashes the Judiciary, now bringing back redlining It turns out African Americans has quite a bit to lose by voting for Trump
It’s called systemic racism.
This is another Politico article devoid of facts! Could, might, may......…...…...…...
This is so on brand for them.
MakeAmericaWhiteAgain
Shame FakeNewsMedia
Moving the country backwards is the whole point for this heinous administration.

RepJohnKatko
RacistInChief Trump has a long history of housing discrimination. This is nothing new but the spineless CrookedGOP will go along with anything IMPOTUS does. BlueWave2020
RyRi21 Read the article. Wrong as usual.
TheDemocrats DNC Every day there is another Trump attack on America. DNC should produce a 'talking points tee' for its store which displays all his deregulations, etc that reduce protections for environment, workers, elderly, animals, minorities.
Now that a fine example of bias in media; look at how every proposal is “framed” from the headline through to the last paragraph.
Banks should make loans on the ability to repay, not on anything else.
Of course, anything Obama has to be destroyed by Trump. Something totally off about this President.
everyone goes through the same test-If you are dirt poor with no assets or job=no loan
Trump is rolling us back into the 50s and 60s levels of discrimination.
Another move forward for rich, white people. A major step backwards for all other Americans. Is Trump’s MAGA the 1950’s? Sure seems like it. What a backward time in America that was.
Another move by Trump back to the world of racial discrimination. For Trump, the “good old days”.
I’ll stick with Carson. Obama didn’t do much of anything for the Black community or other ethnic groups. So far everything Trump has done has benefited the majority of citizens.
Reversing the conditions that created the 2008 subprime crash is racist? are you all insane?
Wow! People on here are commenting without any web link to support their tweet. No facts just ‘we hate Trump! ‘Trump is racist!’ Where is your proof?
It’s completely against discrimination law to refuse to give a loan based on skin color. So obviously this headline is misleading. You don’t have to like Trump but you could at least be honest
Republicans are afraid of not whites not being the majority
This is trumps attempt to get black and brown votes, he really thinks Americans are stupid, he expects your vote while he picks your pockets, at the same time he is being impeached
It’s not like it’s a slow news day Politico. I mean it’s Sunday so maybe you have to dig deeper on the weekend. And while I’m sure your playbook calls for some serious racial strife leading up to the election, it’s a bit early to start, don’t you think?
So many stupid ignorant people here. It’s amazing. They’re truly clueless as to who’s calling the shots. They think it’s Trump. it’s THE WORLD BANK YOU DUMMIES!!! They force our political monetary decisions from getting loans from other countries to who gets the loans for a home
Are you kidding me! How is he for the America I love? Does he hate the previous administration that much or doe he justs hate minorities? VoteHimOut
What a bunch of bsloney. Trump had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORLD BANKS DICTATORSHIP
This is definitely true. stevemiller
Every day is another day for trumpers to impose new evils.
I think that would be illegal and headline need EVERYWHERE? Learn to code.
He's fueled by hatred, racism, corruption and ignorance.
What
Where's the surprise?
But he's not racist
What's next Donnie? Redlining? scumbag
Loan applications don’t have a question on race
Like father, like son... I see the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree realDonaldTrump.
He’s going back to his roots isnt he ? ET phoning home ..
Riiiiight.... Ok 🤦🏼♂️
OMG MR Carson IS WHITE

Beyond greed, graft, and white nationalism, the one consistent animating objective of Trumpism is the erasure of the Obama presidency. Talk about undoing the results of an election -- the 2008 election, that is.
discovercard
But NOOOOOOOO he's not a bigot. This is the nadir of American history
In other news: duh!
Please read the full text of the law and don't just listen to fake news media like CNN taking it out of context
Did he make it harder for banks to use those same folks money to give the loans to the unqualified whites
Use of 'could' and 'potentially'makes me think this is reactionary.
Screw you Trump!!!
Trump overturns protections for vulnerable groups? How surprising. That seems sooooo out of character.
Fake news
Fred Trump rises from the dead.
What a great guy.
White folks could care less they just say hey I'm white not brown or black 🤷🏿♂️. It don't affect me at all. Damn trumpisim
This is getting ridiculous.
But American banks stopped loaning to deadbeat donnie a quarter century ago
It’s like they hate minorities..... Oh that’s right. They do.
WTF Seriously folks. Is this what you want?
He knows damn well it takes money to make money realDonaldTrump
And the mortgage loan agencies would just get more business. And the banks will begin to decline
Now I think he should get impeached, my plan creates enough money for it to be easier to get loans with lower rates, increase wages and for people to join/ get closer to the 1%
RemoveTrumpNow
I know good people. Some of them are Democrats and some of them are Republicans. Let’s not allow weak journalism to distract us from the fact that good people want to help those that are suffering. This crap exists to make $ by further dividing us.
As much damage as possible in such a short time..... trumpgoals
Kokomothegreat Unconscionable
When will Americans stand up to this graceful and heartless Administration?
what is white supremacy? for 100
Banks have been denying loans to Black and Hispanic people + minorities have been living in terrible neighborhoods for the past 60 years what laws were passed in the past that increased their loans o helped them out of terrible neighborhoods? Before Trump?
SenatorCollins this is who you support?
Rachel_McRea If this doesn't 'energize' you to go vote this skunk out of office, nothing will!
🤮
If Trump is elected for another term I would not be surprised if he gets away with literally shooting poor people. The Trump monster does not give a fuck about anyone except himself. He's a disease that has been spreading since 2016.
Bastard, tiny little baby😃
The IDIOT handling HUD should walk out in disgust, if he has any INTEGRITY!
But how about those low unemployment rates for the blacks and Hispanics tho?
“Could potentially”
Fake News! It is a known fact that Trump like us black folk because the unemployment rate is down for us black folk, and ummm *checks notes* he did something that let's some of us slide from going to prison.
Why is he destroying us.
Oh Christ, yes....
This man literally makes me ill...
Social media interference on the Republican Party
IvankaTrump see what your dad is up to?
It's like they just want to gut every bit of positive change in the last 50 years. They long for the segregation of their youth in the 50s and 60s.
More propaganda by the left.
What
More bullshit.
Trump up to his old racist discrimination and housing fair rental violations classic bias Trump
Shame.
Trash doing what trash does.
Drain the swamp
Of course....
