Trump won- get over it. Now to bidniss- Will a victorious Trump cut back housing anti-discrimination enforcement?

Discrimination? What discrimination?

UPDATE:
Assorted "protests" in Portland and elsewhere over Trump's election, with participants speaking in apocalyptic terms seem laughably overblown, and just plain childish.  Get over it. The Don won fair and square. No "apocalypse" will happen. The man is just another politician. His heated rhetoric on the campaign trail now will now have to adapt to reality. Predictions?

Trump is not for example going to build any massive "wall." Who's gonna spend several billion on any "wall?" He will strengthen the existing fence already in place, and beef up enforcement, and add some modest sections. On Obamacare he will slash some parts and keep some- he is not going to eliminate the fundamental concept of universal coverage. He told the WSJ for example, that he would keep his word to consider retaining provisions that protect people with pre-existing conditions and allow parents to keep children up to 26 on their plan . On "ISIS" he will not do anything much different Obama fundamentally. Yeah bomb, and insert more Special Forces? That's hardly earth-shattering stuff- its more of the same. Drone strikes? Obama has ramped up drone attacks to huge levels way beyond Bush. What else "new" or "different" Trump gonna do- send in another "surge" of several hundred thousand troops? Get real.

And he is not going to be "deporting all Muslims." Anyone can see this is just junk rhetoric to fire up "the base." Cut back Israeli influence? lol.. Netanyhu is his good friend, so nothing earth-shattering expected there either. And who says his "Jerusalem as capital" was not merely a sop to throw to the right-wing fundie-pol types? Trade deals? He will make a loud show and tweak some terms, but who says the trend towards globalization will be significantly stopped? Cut back significantly on outsourcing? Stop the continued automation and "Googlization" of the economy, and commoditization of our private data? Stop the race to the bottom economics favored by the new tech elites? Puhleeze..

Immigration? Sure he will deport some with criminal records but is this earth-shattering? Obama has made a massive number of deportations of illegals, more than recent presidents. Re the financial system- what's Trump gonna do- roll back the corrupt Wall Street bankers and manipulators? In fact he wants to deregulate the financial industry meaning the fat cats have even more room to maneuver and manipulate.


Naive high hopes for a "messiah" on the part of many of "the faithful" will in time be dashed, as they are ignored or fobbed off with symbolic "beads for the natives." Just ask black folk about would be "messiahs." Get over it people. Cut the hysterical tantrums and come back to reality. Now let's ask some other questions.




Original Post:
A close election winds down as this post is written- with no clear winner yet declared, (polls in California and the West are three hours distant), but I see Trump as pulling out a victory. We wish him well, but here's one of the many questions that will likely arise as he takes (projected) office. Will he, like Ronald Reagan, fail to vigorously enforce anti-discrimination housing laws? As we saw in previous posts, Trump himself discriminated against black tenants, on the basis of race. Such actions are still a reality in the housing market - circa 2016.

The article below shows that a number of big lenders have settled lawsuits brought by cities for their discriminatory loan and financing practices that hurt minority customers. These discriminatory practices again demonstrate the deceptive narratives spun among many whites about white "guilt" and the alleged "resolution of civil rights issues" due to a number of laws passed in the 1960s. The narrative aims to dismiss or downplay continuing discrimination suffered by minorities, as whites double down on their wealth, and move, albeit more stealthily than in open Jim Crow days, to suppress or slow down minority access to resources and upward mobility. That was always the white game, (certain conscientious conservatives and progressives excluded), and minimal civil rights laws did not change it.

Cities trying to use fair housing laws to sue for "spillover" damages due to discrimination, such as lost tax revenue, etc are working a legal stretch. The laws were set up for individuals to sue (laboriously). It was only until 20 years after the Fair Housing Act of 1968 that some real enforcement teeth were added- another demonstration of how whites have sandbagged and hobbled civil rights legislation over the decades. They never "gave anything away for free" to the culluds."Whether cities can get damages is a novel twist- though a few have already done so. Amounts are small- 10 million or so thus far. Here's the excerpt:




Supreme Court hears housing bias case involving Bank of America, Wells Fargo
By Greg Stohr- November 2016.

U.S. Supreme Court justices signaled they may divide over the ability of cities to use the Fair Housing Act to sue banks for discriminatory lending practices that contribute to urban blight.

Hearing arguments in Washington as the country went to the polls to choose the next president, the high court grappled with a case that grew out of the subprime mortgage crisis.

A federal appeals court read the Fair Housing Act as giving Miami the right to sue Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co. and Citigroup Inc. Miami says the banks targeted minorities for riskier and costly loans, leading to foreclosures that cost the city property-tax revenues and forced it to spend more on police and fire services.

Some of the court’s liberal justices indicated through their questions that they would vote to let the cases go forward. Justice Elena Kagan suggested the dispute was at the heart of what the landmark 1968 law was designed to address.

“Everything about this complaint is about racial segregation, it seems to me,” Kagan said.

But two potential swing votes, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy, suggested they saw a need to limit the types of suits that could be filed under the law. Roberts called Miami’s injury “derivative.”

“I don’t see how you can say that your loss of property taxes is a direct injury,” he told the city’s lawyer, Robert Peck.

The Election Day argument was a relatively low-key affair, with Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas asking no questions and Justice Stephen Breyer saying far less than usual. One possibility is that the shorthanded court could divide 4-4, an outcome that would let Miami press ahead without setting a nationwide precedent.

Charlotte-based Bank of America and San Francisco-based Wells Fargo say Congress didn’t intend to allow private lawsuits by a plaintiff who wasn’t a victim of discrimination and whose interests are so far removed from the alleged wrongdoing.

The banks’ lawyer, Neal Katyal, said the city was “borrowing someone else’s anti-discrimination interests.” Citigroup isn’t directly involved in the Supreme Court appeal.

The Fair Housing Act says an “aggrieved person” may sue. In 2011 the Supreme Court interpreted similar language in the federal job-discrimination law to mean that only people within the law’s “zone of interests” could sue.

Miami and the Obama administration say the 2011 decision left intact earlier rulings suggesting that the Fair Housing Act was drafted broadly. They say the only restrictions on who can sue come from the Constitution and its requirement that a plaintiff suffered an injury that a court would be able to redress.

Similar suits have been filed around the country, including claims by Los Angeles and three Georgia counties.

Peck told the court that the cities of Baltimore and Memphis, Tennessee, had settled similar claims for less than $10 million.

“We not talking about huge sums of money,” he said.

The cases are Bank of America v. Miami, 15-1111, and Wells Fargo v. Miami, 15-1112

One interesting thought- assorted right wingers have since 2008 insisted that Obama was elected "because of his race" and because "white people felt guilty." That laughable propaganda trope was roundly debunked here, where I show Obama got about the same amount of votes as previous white Dem candidates. But if said right wingers think race is so important, why then isn't the election of Trump "because of his race" - that white voters voted for racialist reasons? I mean why are they not applying the same "race card reasoning" in reverse to their man in Washington? So far I haven't heard a peep from the usual suspects on these lines... And so it goes....

A federal appeals court read the Fair Housing Act as giving Miami the right to sue Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co. and Citigroup Inc. Miami says the banks targeted minorities for riskier and costly loans, leading to foreclosures that cost the city property-tax revenues and forced it to spend more on police and fire services.

Some of the court’s liberal justices indicated through their questions that they would vote to let the cases go forward. Justice Elena Kagan suggested the dispute was at the heart of what the landmark 1968 law was designed to address.

“Everything about this complaint is about racial segregation, it seems to me,” Kagan said.

But two potential swing votes, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy, suggested they saw a need to limit the types of suits that could be filed under the law. Roberts called Miami’s injury “derivative.”

“I don’t see how you can say that your loss of property taxes is a direct injury,” he told the city’s lawyer, Robert Peck.

The Election Day argument was a relatively low-key affair, with Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas asking no questions and Justice Stephen Breyer saying far less than usual. One possibility is that the shorthanded court could divide 4-4, an outcome that would let Miami press ahead without setting a nationwide precedent.

Charlotte-based Bank of America and San Francisco-based Wells Fargo say Congress didn’t intend to allow private lawsuits by a plaintiff who wasn’t a victim of discrimination and whose interests are so far removed from the alleged wrongdoing.

The banks’ lawyer, Neal Katyal, said the city was “borrowing someone else’s anti-discrimination interests.” Citigroup isn’t directly involved in the Supreme Court appeal.

The Fair Housing Act says an “aggrieved person” may sue. In 2011 the Supreme Court interpreted similar language in the federal job-discrimination law to mean that only people within the law’s “zone of interests” could sue.

Miami and the Obama administration say the 2011 decision left intact earlier rulings suggesting that the Fair Housing Act was drafted broadly. They say the only restrictions on who can sue come from the Constitution and its requirement that a plaintiff suffered an injury that a court would be able to redress.

Similar suits have been filed around the country, including claims by Los Angeles and three Georgia counties.

Peck told the court that the cities of Baltimore and Memphis, Tennessee, had settled similar claims for less than $10 million.

“We not talking about huge sums of money,” he said.

The cases are Bank of America v. Miami, 15-1111, and Wells Fargo v. Miami, 15-1112
