    Happy that you dodge and deflect again? No.

    I was merely asking if you thought ONLY the LEFT thinks Obama was responsible for the drop in UE of Blacks. Since it was a huge drop and it went on for 9 years.

    Does the right not think Obama brought down the numbers? That is what I asked.

    You really don't understand the market, it seems. The market isn't one buyer .. it's the entirety of the buyers in a given location. That will necessarily include far more private individuals than Govt.

    The market price is public doman information, so Govt cannot 'cheat' the system. Even the least experienced sellers will know whether they're getting market price, since as sellers it's the very first thing we consider. That's why private property is so incredibly important, incidentally. It's a market that Govt has very little control over.

    That's it. You've got it :)

    Though I'm not sure why you add the extraneous 'conservative'. Social responsibility (and all responsibility is social) isn't a function of politics, it's a function of moral fibre. Responsible people exist across the spectrum. In fact, I'm told by Progressives that they are the most socially responsible, so you may want to change that 'conservative' to 'liberal'.

    Well sure, aristocrats of mind or means will think work is optional.

    I'm talking about the law, today, as it stands. Compulsory acquisitions must be transacted at or above market value - and the Govt does not and cannot dictate the market value. Only the MARKET can do that.

    As for people not seeking legal council - what on earth does that have to do with any of it? I'm sure some don't drive red sports cars either, or eat fish on fridays. Private choices aren't relavant to this conversation in any way. Please stay focused on actual issue.

    Because the colour brown freaks them out, obviously.

    Meantime, they'll never answer the question honestly, not even to themselves.

    You said they have legal recourse, if they do not have legal council most people did not know this 100 years ago. Are you even following your own points?

    What you are describing is known as just compensation under the 5th amendment which was not settled until 1897 with Burlington & Quincy Railroad Co. v. City of Chicago.

    You do know that laws have not always been the same, yes?

    Simple fun with numbers, the DNC love that :) Mr. Obatard and crew took credit for a reset, clearly he either he or the DNC did much to create jobs other then line the banks pockets with funny money.. On the other, Mr. Obatard had long claimed that we had reached the "New norm"!

    Trump IMPROVED Mr. Obatards "new Norms" and put more people back to work that Mr. Obatard said could, would most likely never happen in his economy..

    Yet it happens all the time.

    Happened when Trump was taking private property for his fence.

    You people and your blind faith in the government is getting beyond pathetic

    Yes, the government does because they are the one that sends out the assessor to determine the market value of your home.

    Because those who cannot afford legal council have to take the offer given on the government

    But the OP is not about today, it is about when the highways were built.

    Do at least try and keep up.

    The color Brown seems to freak out other Brown people too once they have the means to move. The recent home purchase of the BLM cofounder is wonderful in its hypocrisy.

    Why are you talking about TODAY? No one else is.

    Or do you think the interstate system was all planned and constructed TODAY? Have you even read what the topic is or did you just jump in with your typical?

    Pathetic

    And even today the government still takes land at below actual market price. It happened a lot on the border with the land they took for Trump's fence.

    Wrong.

    They uprooted and moved because of government intrusion. You cannot prove racism just as you and everyone else failed massively to prove racism in highway planning.

    In order to prove it was racist she has to demonstrate how blacks were disrupted more than whites.

    In other words how many white churshes were move?

    No answer she is a failure and nogt an expert just another ******bag with an opinion

    No fun with numbers, pure facts.
    Show us all how blacks fared better under trump. He already started off with Black unemployment the lowest in history, certainly the lowest as far back as the chart goes.

    If if was lining the pockets of banks, it worked. Look at how the economy recovered with jobs lost during the last years of Bush II.
    And if one looks at the DJI chart over the same time period, you will see a 186% increase in the DJI.

    What, trump put more people back to work than Obama?
    Unemployment dropped 62.5% for black workers under obama.
    Unemployment dropped 8.33% for black people under trump.

    And your fun with numbers says that trump put more black people into the workforce? Surely you jest. LOL. I suppose, if one doesn't know how to add/subtract numbers.

    The original study she wrote about did such a thing.
    I even posted a sentence out of the study that said: "...43 In St. Petersburg, Florida, alone, ten Black churches were moved to make way for I-275. Raymond A. Mohl, Race and Space in the Modern City: Interstate-95 and the Black Community in Miami, in URBAN POLICY IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY AMERICA 135 (Arnold R. Hirsch & Raymond A. Mohl eds., Rutgers Univ. Press 1993). 44 See Archer, supra note 26, at 1265. 45 Mohl, supra note 43, at 134."

    Mr. Obatard didn't even regain jobs lost from the bubble, he actually never even returned it to where Bush had it before the crash.. Trump on the other hand BEFORE the Chimer COVID of death had them both beaten..

    I know how much you like pictures so I use something you would understand and relate to ;)

    I can, and your graph is almost identical to mine.
    Obama brought black UE from 16% to 6.6% by your graph. About 60% drop.

    And then when trump took the office it went from 6.6% to 5.5% or about 10% drop.

    In my fun with numbers, your words, 60% is much bigger than 10%.
    6X bigger in fact.

    Racist pricks? Does Oprah Winfrey live in a black neighborhood? How about Obama? Or that blm chick? Or the many black millionaire athletes, actors and musicians? Speaking of moving into a good neighborhood, can you name an upscale black neighborhood that would attract people of wealth?
