This is a lie. This is not new. It is part of the fair housing act passed in the late 1960's following the murder of MLK.
All President Obama is doing is trying to fulfill the law of desegregation.
But this gives rise to another point.
We often hear how America isn't a racist society.
Yet we continue to have extremely racially segregated neighborhoods.
In a non racist society, the race or ethnicity of one's neighbors is irrelevant and not a factor at all.
If people aren't racist then this has to be the case.
Anything else involves people making decisions on the race of their neighbors because certain races behave this or that way, which is connecting behavior with skin color which is racist.
So which one is it America?
If racism is dead and race is irrelevant why is the race of your neighbors so important when deciding where to live?
Why is there still a legal need for the fair housing act passed in the late 1960's to be enforced?
It's real simple. If you want to integrate, then YOU can move to an all black or all white neighborhood or wherever you believe needs integrating on your own accord and on your own dime. No one is stopping you.

The stuff that gets passed around on the internet like it is true, makes me want to write Lincoln quotes...it is as if people on city data have never heard of the Fair Housing Act.

Freedom of association means people will freely associate with whomever they want.
if you think government can force people to associate with one another, see: Yugoslavia.
If cities want federal funds then they have to play by federal rules.
Not quite. "Sanctuary cities, I.e., SF and Chicago, are hardly abiding by federal law, and receive copious amounts of our tax money, to support hordes of lawbreakers. The contradictions on that play or no pay clause is pretty selective. Depending on which party is holding the purse strings.

No it's not real simple.
This law is on the books nearly all municipalities, towns, cities, villages, suburbs take federal or state government money to support their communities and they pledge to stop residential racial segregation against Americans based on skin color.
These municipalities then are proven liars and crooks as take the money from all Americans and yet do nothing to enforce the laws they agreed to enforce which seeks to end residential racial segregation against all Americans.
The Presidency in the form of HUD was given this power by the fair housing act if 1968, HUD needs to be allowed to enforce the law that's as simple as that.

You mean HUD needs to take tax payer's money and pay for mortgages and rent for ghetto people to move into nice areas. Where does it say in Housing Act that ghettos will be dispersed into non-ghetto areas at tax payer's expense?

Exactly. This has been the law of the land for decades. It's just never been enforced. It's sad that Zpresident Obama waited so long to try and enforce this law.
Again, these towns, cities, suburbs, etc take federal and state money given by the state or the federal government to support those towns, cities, suburbs, etc, this money comes from all people.
These Cities, towns, suburbs, etc as a condition to get this money have to say they are going to take steps to end residential racial segregation, and in turn these towns, cities, suburbs, etc are proven liars and in my opinion crooks when they do nothing to enforce the law.
HUD was given the power to enforce this in the 1968 fair housing act. HUD needs to enforce the law.
Notice the people running around insisting their hatred for illegals is all about breaking our laws, don't care one bit about our fair housing act laws regularly being broken.
I guess it depends on whose breaking what laws.
