Washington State is run by some of the craziest white people in the country. In 2019, the legislature voted to overturn a ballot initiative and bring back anti-white race preferences. Critical Race Theory is taught in public K-12 schools, thanks to a state law passed in 2021. In 2022, the state supreme court ruled that race of perp can determine whether a police stop was legal. In 2024 the court said the bar exam was racist and should be junked because too many blacks fail it. Seattle was the big city that went the farthest in the insane, 2020 fad of defunding the police.

The state is still crazy. It has just added the finishing touches to a reparations program not just for blacks, but also for Koreans, dot Indians, Samoans, and Marshall Islanders. It’s called the Covenant Homeownership Program.

It will correct “a history of housing discrimination” with “a commitment to make it right” by giving you up to $150,000 in free money—but only if you meet certain biological requirements. No, sorry. If certain social constructs apply to you.

You have to be black, Hispanic, Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, Korean or Asian Indian. Islanders can be Samoan, Chamorro [that’s people from Guam], Tongan, Fijian or Marshallese.

If you’ve got the correct high-value DNA, and if you had an ancestor living in Washington state in 1968, and if your household income is no more than 120 percent of the median in your county, Washington state will pay the down payment on your first house, up to $150,000.

That becomes an interest-free loan until you sell the house.

If you make no more than 80 percent of the county median income, and you keep your house for five years, the state will turn the down payment into a grant. These payments are covered by a brand new $100 tax on every real estate transaction in the state, so all other buyers will kick in up to $100 million a year for people with the right DNA.

How come Koreans and dot Indians, but not Chinese or Japanese? And why Samoans but not Tahitians? And why 1968? It’s mainly got to do with restrictive covenants, as explained in this 200-page report put together by non-profits that work every angle to get non-white people into housing.

I learned a lot from the report. A handful of places in Washington had race-based zoning laws to keep neighborhoods white, but the US Supreme Court banned them in 1917. After that came restrictive covenants. Mostly, they were clauses in sales contracts that said the new buyer could resell only to a white person. Some had more exotic restrictions. For example, no one of the “Ethiopian, Malay, or Asiatic race. Or Hebrews, Hawaiians, Chinese, Japanese, Hindus.”

Here’s one that forbids selling to “aliens, disorderly persons, or persons not of the Caucasian race.”

The huge majority of Washington homes were not bound by restrictive covenants. The non-profits could find only a little more than 50,000 in the entire state.

The red dots on this map show the most intense concentration of covenants in the city of Seattle, which is where they were most common.

Restrictive covenants therefore applied to a tiny percentage of the state’s housing stock, and the US Supreme Court banned them in 1948, but zealots love to quote their explicit racial language. That’s why the word “covenant” is the first word of this 21st-century giveaway program.

And it’s because Asians and Hindus were mentioned in them that dot Indians and Koreans can collect. Why not Chinese or Japanese or Hebrews? That’s because today, they are more likely than whites to own their own homes. Still, if you, personally have the right DNA, I don’t see why you shouldn’t clean up just because other Chinese and Hebrews are doing well. I’d sue.

And why do you have to have had an ancestor living in the state before 1968? Because that was the year the Fair Housing Act was passed, and Washington State therefore assumes that every single non-white living anywhere in the state faced housing discrimination until that law was passed.

Did your ancestor try to buy a house or even want to? Doesn’t matter. All he or she had to do was live in Washington. How do you prove your ancestor had special DNA? The program “intends to be as flexible as possible in accepting documentation of race and pre-1968 residency in Washington.”

I bet it does. And there are “Housing counselors, Commission staff and other program partners . . . committed to helping homebuyers gather this documentation.”

What’s more, “dozens of [free] classes are taught each week by lenders and real-estate professionals across the state” to help people with special DNA learn about credit, mortgages, homeownership, and how to cash in.

Oh, by the way, you can qualify as a first-time home-buyer if you haven’t owned a home in the previous three years.

How poor do you have to be? Here are the median household income figures for some of Washington’s counties. King County, at the bottom, includes Seattle and has the highest median, at $157,500.

One hundred twenty percent of that means that you could be making $189,000 a year and still qualify for handouts.

If you want to get the word out, you can download and post a “community flyer” that invites the right people to “start on the path to homeownership—with help every step of the way.”

Imagine a poor white reader getting excited and then reading the part that says, “no whites need apply.” There is also a flyer in Spanish with a picture of happy Hispanics, but, oddly, there isn’t one in Korean.

I wanted to know how many Koreans were living in Washington State before 1968, but all I could learn was that by 1970, there were reportedly 769 of them in King County.

Chamorros? Marshallese? Beats me. And why don’t Tahitians or Yapese get the nod? I don’t know, but I suspect that an enterprising Yapese could get himself classified as a deserving Pacific Islander.

But the special people better hurry. This is clearly illegal discrimination, and the Trump administration hates this stuff.

As I noted, Washington state loves it, probably because it is still 70 percent white, and everything its rulers know about BIPOCs they learned from NPR and the New York Times.

This is one of the great tragedies of fancy white people.

They don’t realize they live in whitopia—and even after they wreck it, they can still afford to run away from the diversity they have turned loose on everyone else.

And remember the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009? It was brought on by sub-prime, often zero-down payment mortgages. Saving up for a down payment means you can manage money.

Getting the down payment handed to you is a different matter. I predict two things: There will be a lot of defaults. And we’ll never hear about them.

  1. Tha Washington State Government should commission a larger-than-life gilt bronze statue of uber-Washingtonian Rachel Corrie and place it atop the dome of their State Capitol.

    Rachel Corrie of Olympia is the girl who stood in the path of an Israeli bulldozer that was knocking down a Palestinian “Terrorist” House in “Terrorist” Gaza. (The bulldozer won; Rachel lost.)

    I respect and honor Rachel. She is a heroine and a martyr. (Yes: I’m serious about the statue.)

    But it’s time Whites started seeing that, if they want to be goody-goodies and Save the Universe and their Immortal Souls by sacrificing their guilty white bodies to the Juggernaut of Racial Justice, they might consider that 👉their own people 👈 are sorely in need of justice.

    White people who were thoroughly indoctrinated in a Jew run culture and education system. White suicide and the destruction of the White Christian culture is not an accident. It was quite intentional and the process includes the insanity we see in Washington and other places.

  3. This comment is expected to be censored. Amren is a humorless platform. Totally un-American…

  4. Why blame Washington’s Whites and narry a mention of the plutocrats in Washinton state’s businesses which include some big names and influencers of “the usual suspects” variety: Amazon, Microsoft, Costco, Nordstrom, Starbucks, etc. The state’s politicians must love these “citizens!

  5. Amazing. Clif High has stories from time to time on the idiocy of his state, but admits he’s too old and set in his ways to leave. .

  6. DanFromCT says:

    It’s more than leftist blockbusting by placing minorities in white working-class neighborhoods to depress property values and ruin the civility that goes with those neighborhoods. The originators of these no-down-payment giveaways know perfectly well that nearly all the blacks and others who may take advantage of the giveaways grew up either in apartments or unmaintained homes and know almost nothing about the care and maintenance of houses, their systems, and property.

    Everyone from the bankers to the Democrats guaranteeing the loans know most of the mortgages not forgiven will likely be foreclosed on and the new owners leaving those houses as falling down dumps with dead or three-foot-high lawns. That’ll really destroy property values and the wealth of white working-class homeowners, which is the real purpose of the program. Blacks and the others, of course, are nothing more than cannon fodder.

    Simpson Strong-Tie, for example, has just come out with a line of connectors for expensive backyard pergolas, which, based on their ads, must be available only in Mexico, or probably for free to minorities in Washington State. So, what explains the rage among these white corporate types and white leftists running Washington State to relish the destruction of white, working-class families as they so obviously do? In the case of advertising it’s easy because advertising is now as Jewish-controlled as public broadcasting and the MSM, but what about the rest?

    But wait! There’s more! Far more…

    SB5427 sets up hotlines to snitch on neighbors, family, strangers, or whomever may have offended anyone of a protected class by saying or doing something that offended them and made them feel threatened, even if the offender didn’t know the snowflake was a member of a protected class or even knew the snowflake was in the vicinity.

    Say you’re out walking with a friend and you say, “Those DEI motherfuckers should go D-I-E.” Someone overhears and snitches. If convicted, you face fines and jail. Originally, each successful snitch would generate $2,000 to the snitcher, but that proviso was dropped just before the law passed.

    SB5462 requires schools to teach how LGBTQ+ has enriched their neighborhoods.

    State law forbids gas or diesel powered new cars as of 2035. No diesel big rigs by 2040, I think it is.

    All gun purchasers must first get permission from the State Patrol, then pass a 50 round live fire test. Gun shops must carry massive insurance policies, have ultra-tight security measures in place, etc., all intended to drive up costs prohibitively.

    State gasoline tax to rise significantly each successive year.

    It won’t stop, the loons are near supermajority in the legislatures and have a lock on the governorship. So it’s hopeless, barring secession by counties east of the Cascades or some cataclysm that drops the I-5 corridor into the ocean depths.

    And any state license must be made available to illegals.
