I’ve stated on other threads that if blacks were held to the same standards as whites in terms of providing healthy environments for children then 99% of them would be seized. The double standard is sickening.

That is an excellent point. Take for example the conditions many black families are living in on the south side of Chicago. Makes the conditions this KY family is living in look like luxury.

And guess who put them there?

Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy

"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."

Oh, absolutely; housing people in gubmint housing where they have no stake (never mind ownership; they don’t even pay rent) doesn’t exactly motivate them to maintian or even clean anything. I’ve known teachers in urban districts here in NJ, and the conditions the children live in would never be tolerated for whites or by whites.
