USA Sees Racial Discrimination in New Orleans


NEW ORLEANS (CN) - The United States claims St. Bernard Parish used a "blood relative ordinance" to deny African-Americans housing and keep them out of the parish after Hurricane Katrina.
..
In its federal complaint, the United States says St. Bernard Parish enacted an illegal "blood relative ordinance" after the hurricane to prevent homeowners from renting to anyone not related to them by blood.

Two other plaintiffs filed similar complaints this week: the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Advocacy Center, and Nola Capital Group, of South Dakota.

All three plaintiffs accuse the parish of violating the Fair Housing Act, and ask the court to enjoin it from its "multiyear campaign to limit rental housing opportunities for African-Americans in St. Bernard Parish under the pretext of post-Hurricane Katrina recovery planning."

1. Yeah you rite.

"Da Parish" is largely populated with whites who fled "Da Nint' Ward" after "those people" started moving in.

Ironically, Katrina did not discriminate: the same levee break that inundated Lower Nine did a nice job on St. Bernard, too. Many white St. Bernard residents relocated across the lake to equally lily-white St. Tammany Parish, which is where David Dukkke hangs his hat when he isn't hobonbbing with racists in Ukraine.
