To paraphrase, you stated that the right wing did not care about the use of eminent domain to replace homes with commercial development when it was the homes of Blacks that were being taken, as opposed to now, when it is apparently the homes of Whites that are being taken. I am simply pointing out that there is no evidence that the opinion of the right wing, taken as a whole, is/was racially motivated, and the right has been consistent on the policy for over 40 years.
