Is that report stating that racism is the cause of their homelessness? Or they are racist because of being homeless.

There are so many black homeless because of racism.

its the disparate outcomes means there is systemic racism (the p +p = r stuff)

@grant I know why they think that grant, i was just wondering which way they were putting it.

As someone who lived in the LA area, its probably a report to get the city to funnel money to one of their crony groups.

The kind that support people like Maxine waters

"LAHSA is also committed to infusing the use of a racial equity lens throughout all aspects of the organization’s work, in alignment with the recommendations of this Committee. As a key first step in this endeavor, we are establishing a racial equity initiative within the organization. This ongoing initiative will focus both on ensuring equity in the agency’s hiring and contracting practices, and on fostering the use of a racial equity lens in all aspects of the organization’s work."

^maybe that answers your question. 🤷

some more from the report:
"On Racism, Discrimination, and Dismantling Racism Institutionalized RacismThe country is set up in a way that doesn’t support the Black community or the advancement of the Black community. The system oppresses people of color. There is a difference between wanting to help Caucasian people experiencing homelessness and Black people. White people are prioritized over others.Institutional racism is how the county is set up. There is no support for the advancement of Black people. It is a tool to continue to oppress Black people."

"Discrimination I have gone to see an apartment after one of my White peers went, and I was told I would have to pay a higher rent.We need to understand the legacy of racism and its impact on society today. Need to understand how redlining pushed Blacks into South Central Los Angeles and how there is no accumulation of wealth. We experience macroaggressions from a lot of these service providers, and they are quick to use our housing against us."

they used the word microaggression^

^Also the agency that issued that report is publicly funded

Sweet

That as much as I'm gong to read of that.

yeah its pretty awful

There really is a phenomena where I see equity and read equality, it must be because the idea of equity in social context they are using it is so utterly asinine

I don't like thinking of any word as bad.... But they do make it very difficult.

equity is fine when talking about the amount of investment you have in your home after paying mortage on it

@Shadows Remember, it's the ideas and context behind the words that make them bad. Hence, why equity is conceivable as evil

eh, context matters.

Equity has many useful qualities to it, but like with any word, when misused it becomes useless.

I mean in some sense yeah, Genocide is just a word, nothing inherently evil about the word itself...

^

I'm all for a good ole genocide.

George Carlin's bit "They're Only Words" comes to mind: "...nothing wrong with the words in, and of, themselves. It's the context that counts." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXWBvB4U-cA

Also, I thought genocides were on a like a spring cleaning type schedule.

I use to work with someone that would say lets start today's genocide when talking about dust bunnies heh.
