From the "They hate us 'cause we're free" department:
(First, go [URL=http://thomasanderson89.tripod.com/goodfellas3.html]here[/URL] and click on the Cutty Sark box to see a clip from "Goodfellas" that'll give you a taste of FedGov's attitude in these cases.)
Housing Discrimination The Fair Housing Act prohibits landlords from taking any of the following actions based on race, religion or any other protected category:
Advertising or making any statement that indicates a preference based on group characteristic, such as skin color
Falsely denying that a rental unit is available
Setting more restrictive standards, such as higher income, for selecting tenants
Refusing to rent to members of certain groups
Refusing to accommodate the needs of disabled tenants, such as allowing a guide dog, hearing dog or service dog
Setting different terms for some tenants, such as adopting an inconsistent policy of responding to late rent payments, or
Terminating a tenancy for a discriminatory reason.
Penalties for Discrimination If a state or federal court or housing agency finds that discrimination has taken place, a tenant may be awarded damages, including any higher rent he or she had to pay as a result of being turned down, for example.
Actual Damages. Out-of-pocket costs incurred by the complainant as a result of discrimination. They can also include compensation for non-economic injuries like emotional distress and humiliation.
Civil Penalties. From $10,000 for the first violation, to $50,000 for any subsequent. If the US Justice Department sues, the civil penalty can reach $100,000. Punitive Damages. These awards have no limit and have been in the millions.
Injections. An inductive order may prohibit a specific act, or even require some corrective action in the future. For example: the landlord may be required to advertise for and rent to minorities to fill their next vacancies.
Attorneys Fees. Fair Housing Laws allow the injured party to receive their attorney fees from the loser.

*Don't want to rent half of a two-family flat, that you own and occupy, to blacks because you're a traumatized White victim of interracial rape? Eff you, pay me.
Don't want to sell to Mestizos because you've seen what they've done to other properties in the community and you don't want to commit a hate crime against your old neighbors? Eff you, pay me.
Don't want to rent to Arabs because an out-of-control Justice Dept. might hold you responsible for whatever the hell it is they're up to in there? Eff you, pay me. And on and on.
I know I've got all the freedom I can stand, by golly!*

I'm reminded of the movie The Super staring Joe Pesci. Pesci plays the universal bad guy; that is, he is a white racist. Pesci is a slum lord to a zoo of saintly non-whites. A negress judge sentences Pesci to house arrest in the apartment building until he fixes the building.
I kept thinking while watching the movie that the only person being forced to live in the decrepit apartment building is Pesci.
To a leftist, all property belongs to the government and owners are merely managers. In the free market, there is no housing shortage and the only people who live in slums want to live in slums.

There is no real freedom in America.
These rules prove it. Many other examples could be cited.
And there's no such thing as "private property" in America either.
If you think there is, ask yourself what happens if you don't pay your property taxes.
America is no less authoritarian and socialist than Nazi Germany.
The difference, of course, is that under the Nazis Germans weren't compelled to rent to negroes and Mestizos.

Has any one seen the Movie "Pacific Heights" from about ten years ago? If you own ANY rental, you will NOT sleep after viewing, but for those who don't own a rental, you will laugh your rear off........

This issue, along with related ones concerning the end of 'the right to refuse service,' might even be more important than immigration. These restrictions on one's ability to contract out use of one's property, and one's ability to determine when one is willing to sell or buy a good, together represent a total abandonment of 'We are all created equal' in favor 'We are all created to make sure the inferior aren't disadvantaged.'
Moreover, they further leave whites with limited abilities to maintain the integrity of white culture in the face of the wants of other races. These measures involve an insane abandonment of the notion that different groups are to co-operate peacefully in civil society. It is a recipe for racial hatred, if there ever was one.
But despite many activists of all stripes addressing issues of affirmative action and immigration, you rarely hear a peep about the isssue of free association.
Essays on this freedom should figure prominetly in every white racialist and paleoconservative site.

I think there's an exemption for renting a duplex in which you will live in the other half.

When I was looking at gov. sites to get information about this I saw something about exemptions for smaller units, but it didn't go into specifics. It doesn't make that much difference in my opinion, if you own/occupy an eight or twelve family unit, or even larger, having blacks in the building is still going to put them right in your face, and someone who's intimidated by blacks, like the one million plus Whites who are victimized by them every year, is going to feel, at the very least, uncomfortable in that situation.

wild_bill,
I am fairly sue there is no exemption in the "fair housing" law even in the case of renting a extra room in your own house!

That is correct. And, eventually, homosexuals will be added to the list. So, when your tenant starts running a virtual homosexual prostitution service from your house, you'll risk getting sued if you try to evict him/it.
