Bill banning whites-only housing passes Pennsylvania House by 1 vote

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — A bill banning white-only housing passed the Pennsylvania House on Tuesday, despite not a single Republican supporting the measure.

House Bill 2103 would close a loophole in the state that could let white nationalist groups establish communities under the guise of a private club or member-only organization by blocking such groups from restricting membership by race, color, and national origin to deny equal access to housing, employment, and public accommodations.

The bill also expands anti-discrimination protections for employment, housing, and public accommodations to a person’s sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression.

It passed on the House floor by a 101-100 vote. A single Democrat, Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria), joined every Republican in opposing the bill.

1. Not too surprising, the GOP has been the party of racist

Since the voting act passed in 1965. But, no fear, the SCOTUS will do what the GOP can’t do. I am sure that at some point they will take the official position that Segregation is once against the law. Problem of course, is enforcing it - but then they do have ICE.

I am beginning to think that this Nation is going to tear apart, Trump may not be the reason but is the catalyst.
