You are hopeless. Completely and totally hopeless. Like I said, move along, nothing to see here for folks like you.

Once you are sober you might educating yourself a bit. The 2007 housing bubble crash had ****ing NOTHING to do with race.

I'm not saying it was about race, but the **** that repubs bitch about the Clintons doing was about overturning racial housing policies. Whether or not it was responsible for anything, it is what repubs criticize.

I was a little surprised by Batlord's response but to call him "hopeless" because he's linking unfair banking practices to white supremacy overlooks a very relevant fact:

In the words of Public Enemy:

I'm just curious. Do you understand basically what happened to cause the housing bubble?

What's wrong with my response? I'm not gonna pretend like I'm totally enlightened, but from what I understand the conservatives are mainly bitching about Bill Clinton's policies to give mortgages to people who'd not been allowed to get mortgages by racist housing policies from the preceding decades.

Wasn't it more about the banks giving mortgages to people who couldn't possibly ever afford to repay them, then repackaging those debts with others and selling them on to other banks? Or something.

I'm not saying it was about the negroes. I'm saying that's what a lot of conservatives think it's about.
