Today, from the "doesn't really matter because they're never used" department...

I think that U.S. #Metric speed limit #Signs should have a red ring around the number, even though the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices says that the ring should be black.

#HUD is a big part of the problem - it's never confronted its own racism, inherited from the #FHA

Part 6: #Equity?

When you work maintaining #foreclosures for #FannieMae, #FHA, #BoA, #WellsFargo, etc etc, you spend most of your time where the foreclosures are, which is America's poorest communities. & you see stuff. & you do your research, read books like #RaceForProfit, #ColorOfLaw, #Evicted, #Homewreckers. You learn about #redlining & how the predation has never really stopped, still goes on today.

You ask yourself why are we working for these equity-stripping assholes?
