"Project New Life will file a complaint alleging the Department of City Development has exhibited official misconduct , public integrity and violated civil rights, Department of City Development manages grant resources throughout the City of Racine. A class-action lawsuit is also being considered as an option to eliminate the on-going disparity and poor administration by the Department of City Development in grant resource opportunities between majority and minority owned agencies.
"Included
in the complaint is the unreasonable, biased and targeted effort of the
Racine Department of City Development to 'Blacklist' certain agencies
receiving funding to re-direct City funding to non-minority
agencies. This process of collusion ultimately eliminates these
agencies for consideration of future funding opportunities and creates a
disparity in the funding market. Inequalities in grant management and
scrutiny of agencies compared with non-minority agencies is also a
factor that is part of the complaint to be investigated.
"Project New
Life’s request to the Department of City Development for a qualified
low-income veteran to occupy the property located at 1017 Marquette
Street on a lease-purchase agreement was rejected by the Department of
City Development. There is no substantiated or material grounds for the
rejection of this proposed plan that would have allowed the property to
be occupied by a qualified, low-income potential homebuyer while
providing them the best opportunity to secure a loan for purchase in the
primary lending market.
"A news conference to announce the filing of the complaint is scheduled for next month and will be provided to all media outlets shortly."

I wonder if lying John was raised racist or if something happened to sour him on African Americans?
My dad sometimes referred to himself as a "white-skinned 'n-word'" because of the discrimination and disrespect he endured as a DP in the USA. He'd go to black bars on Sunday morning and bring someone home for dinner. My mom hated it and I loved it. I met some real characters. My dad also got the crap beat out of him once. He got loud when he got drunk and I assume someone took offense to the "white-skinned 'n-word'" reference.
Gee, I'm sober and I get loud. As an AA old-timer said, "Sober up a horse thief and you still have a horse thief."
