If blacks and Latinos are more affected by that than comparable white people, then that’s pretty telling, too, no?



Banks don't really care about any color other than green. A poor person, is less likely to get a loan due to factors such as ability to pay off the loan. I can guarantee you, in 2019, that debt/income ratio, credit rating, credit history plays an infinitely larger part in getting a decent loan than the color of the borrowers skin. Thinking otherwise is just being ignorant, and you believing what you want to believe.

I think you're missing the point.

Did this thread ever establish where these kids were from besides the one from Baton Rouge?

I was with you until this. That's a cop out if I've ever heard one.

Baton Rouge and Memphis. Third hometown yet to be revealed.

To hit for the OM trifecta the third will be from ATL, Dal/Hou, or STL.

KA means chances are the third will be from Georgia

And this had solely to do on race and not other factor such as debt/income ratio, credit rating, etc...?

Income was positively associated with receipt of subprime loans for minorities, whereas the opposite was true for whites. When expensive (jumbo) loans were excluded from the sample, regressions found an even stronger, positive association between income and subprime likelihood for minorities, supporting the theory that wealthier minorities were targeted for subprime loans when they could have qualified for prime loans.


The paper is behind a paywall, but that's pretty damning.

Agreed.

Discussing this stuff at a macro level shouldn't be controversial. The facts are the facts. However, on a micro level, it's dangerous to believe you won't make it up. That kind of thinking is what slows down the progress.

You guys need to get the facts before you say that these boys shot the sign. Who is to say that the sign had not already been shot up. These boys may have simply been snipe hunting, got tired of walking so much and rested at the sign before hunting some more.

Even if that's the case, the decisions to pose for, take, and post this pic on line are all laughably stupid. Their suspension from their fraternity is 100% warranted.

You left out the part where they posed for gun pics with the shot up sign and posted them on social media.

Also, I'm pretty sure you made up the scenario. I haven't seen anything that even claims the kids themselves have said the photo isn't what it looks like.

Frankly, if they didn't shoot the sign up, but posed with guns to make it look like they did, they're even stupider than I thought, and I think they're pretty stupid.

Still absolutely shocks me to see people defending this behavior in this thread. I’m an Ole Miss fan and as conservative as it gets, but I’m also a Mississippian and Mississippian’s know how fricked up his death was. A 14 year old kid getting tortured and mutualitied. The woman that did it is still alive. How could anyone have any resentment toward that poor kid? Hopefully these kids get expelled

Did the part about snipe hunting not give that away?

Wasn't it during the 80's where they were desegregating some schools in Boston?

The white kids and parents were on tv saying that they "didn't want to go to school with any n@#%ers" protesting and stuff.

It was on PBS...so all of this stuff is recent, not ancient slavery history.

TD: “why can’t black people get over the centuries of inhuman treatment they received at the hands of whites in this country? Doesn’t the fact we let them live in our country make up for that church bombing and whatnot?”

Also TD: “I will never let go of the injustice against my people when black people harassed that white guy at the mall.”
