It seems that some people look for ways to target minorities for the ills that afflict the nation to a higher degree than most.
Some on the Right blame mortgage loans to black people for the mortgage crisis.
The tenacity with which bigotry holds on still bothers me.
Can't we all just get along?
There are just as many, if not more white people who stop paying their mortgages as black people. Most people with mortgages don't stop paying it because they mis-spend their money elsewhere; they do it because it becomes more important to put food in their mouths rather than pay a mortgage.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs wins out in the end. (Food before shelter, etc.).
To blame a group for the mortgage mess because it fits some stereotype shows the utter idiocy of those claiming it.
Shame, shame, shame.
