Housing Discrimnation & local Market
-
5/24/2009
Before the economy went bad, I was trying to live in Marion. I called on a place to rent. The owner did not want children living in her unit. I didnt know that discrimination was alive and well there! I am suprised she didn't ask me my race. I have a perfectly clean background, am a hard worker with several skills. I never could get hired at any position that would support me. I went to the clinic at Marion where I was dianosed with malnutrition.The doctor there didnt write any prescriptions for vitimins or recomend a certain diet to help me out.
I had two young friends that had very bad illnesses. I feel like they were not getting very good health care. Although there were some really nice people that lived there, it seems like a death city to me. I hope that I never have to go back there unless things get better.
