Jim,

I'll add to this joke. So is Mr. Perry saying there are no white people who
need section 8 housing? Is he admitting it is "only" black people who
comprise a so called "stereotype" when it comes to those who seek section 8?

I guess Mr. Perry has never heard of "rednecks?"

I just loved this part of their "summary"


Landlords denied voucher holders the opportunity to rent units eighty-two
percent
(82%) of the time, either by outright refusal to accept vouchers or by the
addition of insurmountable requirements for voucher holders making it
impossible for voucher holders to rent units.

The data demonstrates that the alarming rate of discrimination against
voucher holders is driven by two primary causes: discrimination against and
stereotypes of low-income, African Americans and dysfunctional
administration of the HCVP.


I so love the fact that landlords denied voucher holders by *outright
refusal* to accept them!
Oh My!!

Mr. Perry, despite his law degree from Loyola, has no concept of the notion
of "private property". Must have missed class that day.
