considered reparations? The problem started with lenders being forced (by government) to give loans on "affordable housing" which means low income. I think we all know what that means, if not you need to take the blinders off.I am not racist but I know people will say I am. I don't care.I did not say entire crisis.Meshel, blacks benefit most from affirmative blacktion. Sure you no that though, since you did your research right. And I am glad you can see Russia, you must have perfect eyesight. Let the brothas and sistas know if Putin is up to somethin would ya?

To believe that this entire crisis is because of poor people, or black people getting home loans is ignorant, uninformed and racist. I worked in the subprime mortgage industry and MOST of those subprime loans were given to middle and upper middle class people (white, black and various shades of yellow). Yes, they were middle class people and UPPER middle class people who had spent over their heads. They had so much debt and their credit scores were so deteriorated because of huge credit card bills, car loans, home equity loans, boats, expensive cars, etc. I like to call it the Ed McMahon syndrome. This entire crisis is due to conspicious consumption and gluttony but the consumer and lack of regulation on the greedy bankers.

Your not racist! Yeah right and I can really see Russia from my home. When the law was passed through the Clinton years it worked, and it was not just low income, people. If you want to go there! Reparations comes in many different ways, and forms, Japanese Americans, Native Americans, and other ethnic groups have received reparations, based on the abuse they endured from the white majority through this nations history,did you know that? Of course you did! Guess who benefits the most from Affirmative Action? Hmmmmmmmmm the highest female ethnic majority in this country! Don't believe me check the demographics of your country! The law that was passed has benefited many low income of all ethnic groups , and the poor majority, as well as the middle and upper middle classes. Do your research, and then maybe you will finally get a clue. The people you seem to be accusing, only a small percentage of them actually want repartition's, a larger portion find it humiliating, and degrading!Yeah! It beez dat way sometimes!Peace!YEAH I DID MY RESEARCH, TOO BAD YOU DIDN'T!The white superior mind is a terrible thing to waste!
