> 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. You pompous arrogant ass......how could you possibly know that? Blacks never got the chance to prove it. When any kind of loans were made to blacks, the interest rates were always outrageously usurous. The blacks and the poor occupied the same space. No they did not. Poor whites got much better treatment. I am sorry about your roots but you are not about to rewrite American history so you won't feel any guilt about how blacks were treated in this country. 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. You are the racist. You are this white guy who makes believe racism never happened and is terrified that whites will be a minority in his lifetime.
