Watched my daddy try to stay afloat paying an 18% operating loan on his row crop operation & hog farm while feeding $1.25 bushel corn to six cent hogs during the Carter administration. He was white & lost everything he had at the time. Where tf do I sign up?
Both of our families got a CHANCE to survive, because both GOT those ugly 18% operating loans.
The Black families at issue in this circumstance were deprived of even that CHANCE.

I don't understand why leftists like big scrubb and bamasjw don't organize a private reparations fund.
I'm not a leftist. In fact, it's as mostly a conservative that I believe the properly-functioning US government should not be rapacious. And when it is - it owns up to it.
But beyond that, your comment just makes no sense.
OK

How doesn't it make sense.
You people could fund reparations privately. You just don't care enough.

Predatory lending" is not a good description of what happened here. What happened was EXCLUSIONARY lending as well as other bad acts from government agents such as tax assessors. And it was the farthest thing from color blind that it could be.
That’s not true. Some of the cases were predatory lending. Some of the cases were racially-biased lending. And some were exclusionary. You didn’t read the damn article.

I'll be waiting for the follow up article that details how much land Mohammedans stole. Probably going to be waiting for a while.
