Data is not racist.

Edit: Unless we are talking about the dude on Star Trek because that dude was white as could be.

Hmmm, i must have missed the portion on my credit report that has "skin color" as a reason for lowering my credit score.

I worked at a financial institution where I had to pull credit all of the time.

An interesting observation I made during my years there, the credit gap between blacks and whites existed across all incomes.

I work in banking and have had several black coworkers tell me that its simply not a priority within the majority of black culture to pay bills on time. It's as simple as that.

This is basically a microcosm of the issues of today. Groups want what they did not work for handed to them. Like a bunch of sniveling kids who want something every day to be satisfied.

I blame poor money management and bad financial decisions. Seen this first hand in the Army. Had a soldier pawned off on me who couldn't get right and would spend his money on stupid shite. To be fair I have seen all races have terrible financial practices and habits ,but it seemed to be more young black males than anything.

Credit scores are an output, not an input. They inherently can't be racist.

Now... what goes into the creation of a credit score? Your history of using credit and paying it back.

By and large... the black community, especially the urban black community, has worse access to legit banks, worse jobs, worse education, worse savings, etc. All of those things are going to find their way, somehow, into the behavior that causes credit scores to rise or fall.
