white privilege

especially the credit rating system, created by white people, that rewards white cultural values

this is systematic racial discrimination in action

I couldn't buy a house last year because I had no credit. Owned four cars outright but had not bought anything on credit since my divorce in 05.

Dave Ramsey's credit score is ZERO



Seriously.

He doesn't use credit.



What about his multiple bankruptcies?

I work in the credit dept of a bank and have to pull credit reports almost daily.

You can call it culture or whatever, but for some reason black people (moreso than whites) just do not care about paying their bills on time. This is even for folks that have money (or should have the money - I have their tax returns) to pay timely.

I just think theres an old school mentality where they care much more about the money in their pocket than their creditors getting paid right on time. They just dont see their credit score as having much importance.

Everything is easier if you are white. Except maybe staying alive in the ghetto.

Could it be that white people generally engage in behaviors more consistent with meeting the financial criteria that lending institutions require? I know many black and Hispanics who work in the mortgage industry and the only color they care about is green.

I pull scores, for applicants on new and used mobile homes. Actually saw a guy Saturday that was 800+, I'm sure that's the highest I'll see here. As you can probably imagine, some of our applicants are pretty miserable cases

It's always a pleasant surprise when I pull someone who's over 700.

ETA: And about 75% of our shitty turn down applicants are white. (I can tell because they have to submit photo ID with the app).

Woah woah woah. So you are telling me a millionaire, a couple of times over, not using credit is amazing?

Would be impressed if he didn't have to file bankruptcy to figure out his secrets of pandering to morons who can't understand basic economics.

So frustrating to see people who are otherwise very intelligent hang on to this guy's every word because he somehow was appointed or construed as the financial guru for Christians.

exactly. they should have an 'altenrative' FICO score for people of color.

their background is different than white people so its completely unfair to subject them to the same standards.

Mortgage denial rates are irrelevant. The statistics you need to show discrimination would be black and white applicants with similar credit scores and incomes.

I wonder what the average score or income was


Anything to turn it into a race issue. That has nothing to do with the color of your skin. They Only care about your income and if you pay your bills on time. White people can't help it if blacks or Hispanics aren't responsible enough to pay their bills on time. Next, they will be blaming whites for slavery
