    faith based initiatives comes to mind?

    "When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
    - Benjamin Franklin: in letter to Richard Price, October 9, 1780"

    Those Deplorables? Uneducated Nazis who don't even know what a soy latte is. They deserve nothing but contempt.

    it wasn't just Bush it started with Carter then expanded by Clinton it was decades in the making

    those defaulted subprime mortgagers were getting pawned off from one bank to another until there was to many for the market to bare

    There are specific fiscal programs providing many millions of dollars to 'white nationalists' and 'fanatical Christians'? Who knew!

    Ok so lets fast forward to election night.

    Your choice is Trump, Black Hillary, or some third party.

    Black Hillary is pushing this.

    Who do you vote for.

    The schools are not responsible. They are simply businesses, exploiting a demand (just like EVERY business). Caveat Emptor, always. Let the buyer beware.

    I did not expect you to understand.. how many church's got over 1 million dollars from this "free ****" as the other poster described it

    "Bush's Faith-Based Initiative Gave Obama's Former Church $1.5 Million"

    http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article...itiative-gave-obamas-former-church-15-million

    "Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Ill. – where Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama worshipped for two decades – has received more than $1.5 million in federal tax money since 2003 through the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives"

    That is because banks massively discriminate black people. And banks have payed millions in settlements, that is all going to the government and not to the victims. And this has been going on for decades upon decades. Seems right the victims get to have the money.

    Could bad credit or lower income have anything to do with it?


    A recent $1.3 million dollar study undertaken by Freddie Mac has revealed some surprising differences in credit scores between African-Americans and Caucasians.

    The study compared the credit scores of members of each ethnic group, leading to data that shows Caucasians earning less than $25,000 per year were likely to have better credit scores than African-Americans earning between $65,000 and $75,000 per year.

    Overall, the study found 27 percent of all credit reports belonging to Caucasians were poor, compared to 48 percent of those belonging to African-Americans. Only 28 percent of Hispanics were found to have bad credit.

    if it was anyone other then Trump, I think you would be right.... I do not see them losing people to Trump, but I could see many in the center not bothering to vote

    if too many stay home, could see 2016 repeat itself... Sad!

    democrats have no choice if they want to win the primary

    the democrat base has turned so far left for a democrat candidate to win the primary they have to go full blown socialism
    so far left they cant ever get back closer to the center to win the general election
    Its why you see them flip flop all over the place they go far left to throw red meat to their radical base then walk it back to try to get back to the center

    It is most definitely discriminatory. Every damn illegal is going to demand free stuff too.

    no because banks don't make a habit of approving risky loans ones that more then likely go into default

    blacks are almost twice as likely to default on a loan then whites

    From your source, “...according to Doug Ryan, senior director of affordable homeownership at the Washington D.C.-based nonprofit Prosperity Now, both lower income and lower credit are contributing to the problem.”

    Notice how race wasn’t mentioned?

    If a person walks in to borrow $250,000 from you and he has 4 bankruptcies, is currently unemployed, and hasn’t paid any of his previous loans in the last six months, how much money would you give him of your own money?

    Exactly a market based plan where low income families were assisted in saving for a downpayment which ups their credit score and gives them some home equity to wade through economic slowdowns.

    We set up laws,... and the banks broke them. They made multi million settlements.... paid to the government,... not to the victim.


    I wouldn't know why the victims may not be compensated.

    growing up as a poor white American... banks would not give me a loan either..... that is the way banks work

    they go by credit history, length of employment, income and savings...

    not saying over the years there have not been some racist bankers, sure there has, also probably some racist black bankers that wont give a white person on the edge a loan.... it happens, hopefully they all get caught

    most banks have automated the risk calculations to protect themselves from such lawsuits
