Here’s one more before I go home. Asheville City Council is expected to approve, by way of their consent agenda, acceptance of $25,000 from HUD via the North Carolina Human Relations Commission for fair housing outreach. It is suspected. as it was with food stamps and risky home loans and other federal programs, that participation in the mandated program was low not for lack of need or interest, but for lack of awareness. Whereas it is unethical for psychologists to use the power of suggestion, as in, “What kind of noise was the spaceship making, since that’s the only thing that could have been hiding behind the barn?” it is perfectly fine for government to, as in, “Did that bigot use any words that might be construed by a seventh-grader to have unequal-opportunity implications?”
