Washington governor signs law giving black first time homebuyers

Posted by GOG on April 25, 2025, 11:04 am

$120,000 for down payment. Whites need not apply. Signed one day ago this racist discriminatory giveaway is touted as a form of reparation. Racism begets racism. DEI at its most naked.

Are you jealous ?

A clay floor highly compacted would be cool.

It helps ALL low income home buyers.

I don't see anything in this article saying the bill is limited to just one race.

Did you read the actual legislation?

(4) To be eligible to receive down payment and closing cost assistance through a special purpose credit program authorized under this section, a special purpose credit program applicant must:

(a) Have a household income at or below 120 percent of the area median income for the county where the home is located;

(b) Be a first-time homebuyer; and

(c) Be a Washington state resident who:

- Was a Washington state resident on or before the enactment of the Federal Fair Housing Act on April 11, 1968, and was or would have been excluded from homeownership in Washington state by a racially restrictive real estate covenant on or before April 11 1968; etc.

Sure sounds like there's a racial requirement to me.

No I didn't. That's good information, thanks.

I'm opposed to all racial discrimination. I believe two wrongs don't make a right.

Instead of only helping certain races, they should help all the poor.

I disagree with that, too. "...they should help all the poor."

"All" the poor are not poor through no fault of their own.

Most of the poor are poor through decisions that THEY have made. And I don't just mean being addicted to drugs or alcohol or having a mental illness.

Some people have no ambition. They want an easy life.

My wife has four children by a previous marriage. I have two.

Two of our daughters went to college and became Registered Nurses. They are HARD workers. And they married men who are also HARD workers. Both daughters own homes. And they work hard to maintain them.

One of her sons went to college and became a Doctor. He works HARD. And he married a woman who went to college and became a Civil Engineer. She works HARD. They own a Condo and work hard to maintain it.

One of her daughters went to college and...well, actually, I don't know WHAT she became. Ha! She works hard as a stay-at-home Mom with four kids. She married a guy who went to college and became a Medical Equipment Salesman. They own a home and both work HARD to maintain it.

My wife has a son who spent three years in the Air Force, went to college, and got a degree in Mental Health. With that kind of resume', he SHOULD be successful. But he's lazy, always looks for the easy way, is addicted to video games, rents a room from friends, and sleeps on a mattress on the floor. He makes money jumping from job to job to job, and driving Uber Eats.

There's no WAY he should own a home.

My son went to college for one semester and failed out, I think because he spent most of his time playing video games. He has a job now and rents an apartment. But he spends most of his off time playing video games, and rents an apartment that he hardly takes care of.

There's no WAY he should own a home.

The taxpayers should not be providing EITHER of them with a $120,000 down payment so they can own a home.

In a Capitalist system, you EARN what you get.

Thank you. Case closed.
