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.
