what a pity


It's sad how most families are white when most PoC (People of color) families are the ones who need improvements like these even more.

The one I'm watching right now is a family of color and its a pretty good mix I don't know why show your watching if you truly believe that.

I don't necessarily believe that's true. But what I DO find pretty irritating is how when they walk into their new house for the first time, almost every "family of color" has to throw themselves down on the ground and yell and scream and flip around like they're having an epileptic fit.

Actually, there are local government programs that can perform necessary renovations to homes for loans, the loans are forgiven if the owner lives in the house for 10 years. My mother was barely able to qualify for the program and it gave us new siding(desperately needed) and better insulated our home along with many other improvements. We're people of color.
