>> They didn't want to deal with poor people who also were people of color.

Years ago there is no doubt that lenders would avoid black borrowers because of the perception that they couldn't repay the loans. Unfortunately, in probably 99.9% of cases the lenders were correct. The blacks and the poor occupied the same space.

So, what? That's all been history for decades. And, as government tends to do, it over-compensated in the other direction, leaving the economy in a shambles.

Get over it. The days of such discrimination have long since passed for the most part. We have a black president. Who, incidentally, is wrecking the country.

You are the biggest racist on this thread. Quit acting like you're innocent.
