Justin has fallen in line with the idea that white's are discriminated against without taking into consideration that there is more to this.

"News stories are full of statistical evidence for disparities between black and whites, such as the fact that the average black family earns about half as much as the average white family, or that the unemployment rate for blacks is twice that for whites, or that the wealth of the average white family is ten times the wealth of the average black family. But this kind of evidence is like a political Rorschach test that looks very different to liberals and conservatives. What looks to liberals like evidence of discrimination looks to conservatives like evidence of racial disparities in hard work and responsible behavior. "

As a woman, I was discriminated against in Port Townsend when I was a single mother with 2 children. The only person who would rent to me was George Gunn. One apartment owner actually said to me "I don't rent to single moms with kids because they are irresponsible." What did I share with other's that were discriminated against? Poverty.
