I mean communities of color. The areas hit hardest by the flooding were part of the original "Red lining" districts, the highly racist practice of denying people of color housing outside of "Designated Areas." Now if you said that it was political pandering I'd be on board. It's gross the way dems pander for the black vote by making specific mention of every time help is headed their way, but I'm not a snowflake getting my panties in a twist because no one on the news is talking about the help "white people" will be getting. Every time any politician speaks about any group of people without mentioning their ethnicity, they are talking about "white people." Getting all pissy because someone didn't specifically mention "you" and "your" ethnicity, is racist, childish and petty. You sound like a toddler screaming "what about me?"

WTF? I'm not calling for politicians to be racist in calling out white people.

I'm against racism across the board.
