Well, seeing things or not, I'm not interested in arguing about those things here, so if that's what you want to argue about, I suggest you start your very own thread with a clearly defined subject concerning your beliefs about property rights.

Already done. You can always ask for clarification.

Please clarify.

The general public failed to safeguard the property rights of landowners and abetted theft under cover of Civil Rights laws. There's some facts, too. Surely made by a neutral observer.

What's your point? If you want to argue with facts, argue with facts. Don't play some silly game about how the facts were presented in a mean way.

It takes no more than a very basic sensitivity to language to realize that you have a horse in this race. And that's even without referencing that second quote in this post. Stop being disingenuous.

I have admitted to having a horse in this race. I have also stated that I though my horse in this race was irrelevant to the discussion because this isn't about whether I think racism is bad, it's about landlords being responsive to the communities in which they exist.

No, don't answer for me. You do a poor job.

I've had that discussion with you. I didn't to a poor job of answering at all. I merely distilled the essence. It is the same essence that serves as the basis of
every "moral" principle.

I thought about it. Now you tell me why you consider it a gross oversimplification. Why it's the kind of meanness that deserves government intervention. Not the 'is', the 'ought'. I'm well-aware of the 'is' already.

There are any number of threads here, as well as a lot of bits elsewhere that shed light on the continuing effects that institutional racism has had on our society. If you're really interested, look them shits up. I'm not going to, because frankly, I don't think it's all that important that I convince you of anything.
