US subprime lenders targeted blacks, poor:

So let me guess. You've never actually been around white people, you've only seen them on TV, right? I've lived in the burbs for quite some time now and I don't knew WHERE you got this fairy tale notion that white folks are fiscally responsible. The white folks I've lived around in the burbs (in THREE states) have been RIDICULOUSLY fiscally irresponsible.

  • Wife would be driving a loaded minivan or SUV
  • Hubby is driving an S-CLASS Benz (leased)
  • Wife is Burberry and Prada down daily
  • Hubby got a Harley in the garage
  • $600K house
  • Every new piece of electronics imaginable
  • Had the house 4 years (NEW) and already remodeling
  • Kids are in private school

And their combined income is like $150K. Their credit card debt is $90K (and RISING because they have NO cash and basically LIVE off of their cards) and their debt to income ratio is FUCKED. Only difference between them and a black family is that they got a PRIME loan (mostly because they didn't get redlined coming through the door). You cats KILL ME with the self-hate bullshit.

I've witnessed WITH MY OWN EYES people with damn near the same income, debt to income and borderline credit where one gets offered a sub-prime loan and the other gets offered prime. There are so many arbitrary factors involved with how a loan is approved. When I bought my house, they tried to offer me all kinds of loans and I told them I wanted a fixed prime rate or I was out, and they gave it to me. The biggest fault a lot of these people may have is that they weren't forceful enough in negotiations and actually believed they had to take what was offered or get nothing. Combine that with sleazy mortgage brokers getting kickbacks for sub-prime loans and using high pressure sales tactics and you end up with the shit we are in now.

Some of you cats really need to go ahead and end yourselves.


Some of these cats have an idealized view of white folks. It shows that they have bought in to the inferiority complex.

It's not all their fault. They fail to realize they are comparing a population of 15-20 million with a population of 250+ million.

And a media conspiracy to downplay pathology among whites. When is the last time you saw gutter white trash on The First 48, on COPS, on Jerry Springer?

Usually a black face just gets better ratings, flat out. Which perpetuates the cycle of misinformation / misrepresentation.

Back to the population point. There is a lot of fiscal ignorance among black folks, no way around it. But thats universal among low-income folks.

You might see the 25 million or so (10% minority of) fiscally responsible white folks that control the system, vs the 8-15 million (85% majority of) fiscally irresponsible black folk, and draw conclusions about all whites vs all blacks, and how their wealth-building must be the standard across the board.

Understandable but flawed logic. In a nutshell, white folks hide their flaws better than we do.
 
This is all about keeping up with the Jones. I see too many black people trying to live the black middle class lifestyle. You leave college but still have a college mindset. Every year we wanna come back to homecoming to out do our frat brother or sorority sister. You leave college and have debt. You marry a women and she has debt. Credit card and loans. Now as a man you damn well know you cant afford a house but your wife gotta keep up with people at church and in her social groups. As soon as you get that first paycheck its more money than he seen in his lifetime so here comes the cars......well she wants a car too. So now you have 2 brand new cars a house filled up with junk you dont need So she can run and say "girl i live here and my man is pushing yadda yadda yadda". Every black family I know that does not run in social groups is in fantastic standing. You know why because they are living their lives and not caring what someone else is doing.

Damn. This is exactly how the cycle plays itself out. Sometimes, it doesn't pay to run in social circles, because they can make you want more than you can afford.
 
So let me guess. You've never actually been around white people, you've only seen them on TV, right? I've lived in the burbs for quite some time now and I don't knew WHERE you got this fairy tale notion that white folks are fiscally responsible.

I'm talking about my EXPERIENCES yours could be different. I don't know every single black or white person in the country.

I agree.

Side note. There are over 40 million black people in this country. We're growing strong brother. Stay up.
 
I'm talking about my EXPERIENCES yours could be different. I don't know every single black or white person in the country.

Again you have to understand white folks do everything they can to hide their flaws. Some of that could be true of the ones you know even, except they just fake it till they make it.

One constant criticism you hear about black folks is how "loud and showy" we are. All that means is we tend to let it all hang out, good or bad. We floss our strengths and air out our weaknesses.

That's bizarre to most white folks, but enviable to them too in a weird way.

YADA YADA YADA YALL NIGGAZ KILL ME WITH THIS SHIT. THE SUBPRIME LENDERS DID NOT TARGET NIGGAZ...NIGGAZ TARGETED THEM. THIS IS MY BUSINESS SO I KNOW. SHIT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL IF NIGGAZ WERE NOT CASHING OUT ON THESE PROPERTIES. INFLATED APPRAISALS KILLED THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY.

MORTGAGE FRAUD IS THE NIGGA NEW HUSTLE, AND DEFRAUDING THE BANKS WITH FAKE DOCUMENTATION IS WHAT CREATED THIS MESS. MAJORITY OF ALL FORCLOSURES WILL BE PEOPLE OF COLOR BECAUSE NIGGAZ ARE STUPID AND LACK KNOWLEDGE. NIGGAZ WILL CASHOUT 80-100K AND GO BUY A BENZ WITH THAT SHIT AND THEN SPEND 10K ON THE RIMS. THE PAYMENT ON THE MORTGAGE IS SKY HIGH AND THERE IS NO WAY A RENTER CAN COVER THAT SHIT.

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE NIGGAZ WHO PUT 8 PROPERTIES IN THEIR NAME AND ALL WERE FINANCED "OWNER OCCUPIED" ... NIGGAZ DESTROYED THE MARKET PLAIN AND SIMPLE. :hmm:

Damn dog, you CONSISTENTLY have proven yourself to not only be overbearing, but dumb as dirt too (the two usually do go hand in hand though).

Sub-prime lenders were cold calling old folks with paid off homes and lower middle class minorities. They literally drew lines on maps and did RESEARCH to assure they only targeted minorities and the elderly. They hired black "mortgage brokers" with damn near NO training and paid them huge bonuses to sell as many subprime loans as possible. They ENCOURAGED these mortgage brokers to say whatever they needed to say to get the loans sold (including LIE). That's why white families weren't hit as hard, they weren't getting calls and mail, THEY WEREN'T TARGETTED. These mufukkas were sending checks, LIVE CHECKS to people UNSOLICITED for the appraised equity in their homes and if you filled out the paperwork and cashed the check, you agreed to the terms. Some of the most CORRUPT and UNSAVORY business practices ever were tied to subprime lenders. They lied to people, over appraised homes, bribed inspectors, told people property tax was included in their notes when it was not, the shit was a free-for-all of corruption.

But I wouldn't expect a simple minded, talking out of turn, loudmouth, ignorant simp like yourself to know shit about what REALLY went down.

I don't know why, but every black person I know assumes every white person they see driving a $100K car, or a Harley, or out on the lake in a boat "Worked hard for it". Like they paid cash for all that shit. The white folks I lived around were cashing in their house equity to buy 1967 Chevelles, custom Jesse James style choppers, cigarette boats, boob jobs, nose jobs, hot tubs, and all kinds of other ridiculous shit. All the shit was on BORROWED MONEY and 99% of them couldn't afford ANY of it.

The problem is not that black folks floss, it's that when you see a black man in a Benz, he either sold dope or can't afford it, when you see a white man in a Benz, you assume he bought the damn thing cash. I used to work with white folks who I KNEW made less money than I did going out buying BMW M3's and Porsche Boxsters like they were having a fire sale on the damn things. Brotha making the same money they make goes out and buys a 300C with some rims on it and gets talked about like he ain't shit.

Cracka I worked with that made $100K was HELICOPTER shopping, but his wife shut his dumb ass down.

The problem is SELF IMAGE dog.:smh:

See, that proves you are a fuckin' clown because "THE WHITE MAN" didn't do paper on most of those shitty loans, it was ignorant niggas like yourself. Every half-educated negro in the hood was in "the real estate game" before shit fell through. Only reason they even HAD careers was off of sub-prime kickbacks, a legit Realtor wouldn't let those clowns sell parking spots. The people that got fucked over were TARGETTED, plain and simple. A simple minded bitch nigga like yourself living with his momma and talking noise on a message board wouldn't know shit about this conversation.

Bounce Clown, go troll Obama threads and stop showing your lack of intelligence.
 
Dont know about you Daddy Warbucks, but if I see white folks preying on poorly informed black folks with tricks and scams, I'm certainly not laughing, pointing or posting dancing smileys. WTF, do you take PLEASURE in seeing the black community exploited? What you feel good about yourself for being the Smart Negro Who Escaped?

Damn dude. Look up the word empathy sometime, WTF. :hmm:

That's true, white boy may be taking out a loan on his famliy homestead passed down to him by his grandfather where a brotha may be taking out 5 years equity in his only piece of property. Another issue is that the same house will appraise for more simply by being owned by a white person and being in a white community. But don't get it twisted, EVERYBODY thought shit was gravy and EVERYBODY was borrowing to the hilt. If the credit crunch was simply a black issue, do you think it would even be newsworthy to this level? The banks decided to write paper on declared but unverified income. The banks decided to write paper on high credit risk customers. A lot of white folks aren't loosing their homes, but they can't sell them either because they got equity loans and refis based upon fake appraisals and now owe more than their cribs are worth. Cats are shitting on the black victims of this shit and patting the white ones on the back just because of differing loan structures, but the EXACT same fuck job.

Every race does FRAUD. But we as black folks have that "smash and grab" mentality we want it all NOW. The white boys...did their shit on the low... enough to COME UP..but not ENOUGH to draw MAJOR ATTENTION.

Niggas were setting up shops to COOK UP DOCUMENTS.. having straw buyers.. buying CONDO buildings on FRAUD REFI and then let the shits go into Foreclosure on GRAND SCALES. Which is why it is hard as fuck to get a MORTGAGE in certain zipcodes in ATLANTA.

This may be true in some cases, but if the white boys did it THAT much "on the low" it wouldn't be a major financial crisis that is hurting the entire economy.

Right? Niggas would just be a blip on the radar if it was just us wildin out.

Lets not give the white boys undue credit. No pun intended.

You would think that the mortgage lenders went to Churches all across the nation and rounded up all the "Good Christian Black Folks".. put them on bus tour of the suburbs. and told them "Look you can get out of the hood...we can put you in one of these Dream Houses.......just sign right here and we can make it a reality Ms. Jones....what closing date would you like the 1st or the 15th?...just leave all the paperwork up to us"

It's not a black or white thing, your boy the clown is trying to make it that, like I said, MOST of the bad paper written on black folks was written BY black folks trying to make a quick buck. Most of the bad paper written on white people was written BY white people. But best believe, if it was just black folks trying to get over that caused a NATIONAL CREDIT CRISIS that is about to put the country into a recession, a few things would be happening that are not happening...

  • Somebody would be up UNDER a jail
  • The fact that this issue had a black face would be ALL OVER the news
  • Sub-prime loans and all of the practices that were done to sell those loans would all be FEDERAL CRIMES
 
Nothing, New, I read an article on creditors lowering their standards to get minorities to buy shit that they "wanted" but didnt' need, and now they. Hell, I'm financially disciplined, but had no experienced, so I took advantage early and got me a credit card. I'm still getting these Goddamn Offers as if they ran out of white people to offer.

Writing a detailed post on this would bring Colin out kicking and screaming. So a very condensed version. My apologies if it seems incomplete or disjointed but I did this very fast.


REAL PROPERTY-basic definition, varies from State to state

Land, including the surface, whatever is attached to the surface such as buildings or trees, whatever is beneath the surface, such as minerals, and the area above the surface


WEALTH-definition from Merriam Webster

All property that has a money value or an exchangeable value b: all material objects that have economic utility; especially : the
stock of useful goods having economic value in existence at any one time



Those 2 definitions should serve as a baseline on how I see this playing out.


Lets just take 2008 estimates for foreclosures. From what I've seen Wall Street estimates 1.4 million foreclosures this year with an estimated value of 1.2 trillion dollars.The value of that real property will probably decrease as home values decrease this year also.

Lets say only 50% of those foreclosures actually come to fruition, thats 500 billion dollars worth of real property wealth transfered from a large pool of middle and lower class people to a few super wealthy people. Daddy Warbucks and his crew didn't think up this and in fact got only mere copper pennies and a few trinkets for playing their part.

It's right in front of you everyday in the news:

Bank of America buys CountryWide-----Who do you think owns all that bad paper and what it represents now.


Wall Street Investment houses that invested heavily in sub-prime get large capital infusion from China, Singapore,Kuwait, Saudi Arabia-----Who do you think owns all that paper now and what it represents.

Check this out, a small snippet from Paul Krugmans article in Rolling Stone

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/12699486/paul_krugman_on_the_great_wealth_transfer/print


Rising inequality isn't new. The gap between rich and poor started growing before Ronald Reagan took office, and it continued to widen through the Clinton years. But what is happening under Bush is something entirely unprecedented: For the first time in our history, so much growth is being siphoned off to a small, wealthy minority that most Americans are failing to gain ground even during a time of economic growth -- and they know it.

This sub-prime crises is nothing more htan the continuation of the transfer of wealth thats been going on for a long time.
