That's racist!

more on Oakland:

26% of AA live in poverty
8.6% of white live in poverty

however, there are more white people in Oakland than AA. Using a population # of 435,224 and applying the ethnic breakdown (White 29%; AA 22.7%) yields

10,785 whites living in poverty
25,687 AA living in poverty

Why leave out nearly 11K people living in poverty simply because of their skin color?

Answered immediately above. A lot of this has to do with the history of the Town.

Not all discrimination is bad and history always matters.
Study: San Francisco and Oakland are the most gentrified cities in the US

 

[volinbham]

if it was a private organization giving the money directly that's one thing

if it's the city distributing the money then it's quite another even if the funding is private

Then get up to speed or move.

it's still discrimination

it's also cruel to exclude people in need simply because of their ethnicity

finally, gentrification also impacts poor white people in those areas

 

[StarRaider]

so the bay gentrification racist white guy has white privilege guilt from displacing the black residents from their homes and that makes VN racist... is that the fact jack?

We simply disagree. The needs are not equal in this instance.

You’re trying way too hard

 

[StarRaider]

I nailed it again

you have not demonstrated that in any way

is not being able to pay for nutritious food or safe housing different for people in the same area/same income but with different skin tone?

I can hardly think of a more divisive approach to addressing a problem than the one you are advocating

 

[dovervolz]

see my post with absolute #s in poverty and the sentiment of an area doesn't justify only helping your preferred ethnicity.

I can only imagine the public outcry if they said we’re only going to help the white poor and leave out all the minorities. Poor is poor regardless of your skin.

Because African Americans have been displaced at an inordinate rate. The bay is also incredibly progressive. There is a lot reparation sentiment here as well.

I’m sure reparations will solve all their problems. Oakland will become a cultural utopia with unicorns, rainbows, rivers of chocolate and fairy tale princesses

In the Gay Bay area one must be careful kissing a fairy tale princess.
It might really be a fairy tail prince.
As everyone knows, the sure way to tell the difference is if you kiss a fairy tale princess you turn into a frog. If you kiss a fairy tail prince you turn into a homosexual.

The only thing discussions on racism has taught me is that many people think it's okay to hate white people because of the color of their skin. It's as if they can't see they are what they claim to hate. People have corrupted the word "equality" so damn much that they have no idea what it really means.

 

[Boca Vol]

More of those MAGA voters driven to Asian hatred by the "china virus" I guess

Beauty Store Owner Left Beaten and Needing Surgery After Attack in Texas

Both suspects, identified as Keaundra Young and Daquiesha Williams, were arrested for the attacks.

 

[KB5252]

what are those numbers and why not help everyone who needs help?

if two families are equally underprivileged in terms of income why exclude one due to ethnicity?

A system that provides based on race. This is systemic racism. You don't fight systemic racism by practicing it.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

I live in Oakland. Gentrification has been a major issue for over two decades. More should have been done a long time ago. Not a lot of underprivileged white people in the Town because they cannot afford to live here.

But underprivileged blacks can????

LOL
