Explain how you (or anyone else here), got "racist and classisist" from what I posted?

Maybe it was like that 30+ years go, but why do some people here still insist that any opposition has to be race or class related?

Have you (any of you), ever considered that some communities just simply do not want their way of life disrupted and are not comfortable with the developments that are not right or fit in with the community?

And this is exactly the reason why I would and will support and contribute to any effort to repeal and eliminate the existing legislation
