Subprime Crisis as Racist Oppression
Posted by Dave Blount at January 28, 2008 11:14 AM
Whites really do oppress blacks: by using the liberal media to promote a parasitic, self-pitying attitude that makes success impossible. This moonbattery degenerates into self-parody in an AFP piece that weeps over the unjust plight of Cleveland blacks caught up in the subprime mortgage crisis. Apparently they should not be expected to pay back loans like everyone else — or else the banks never should have given them a chance by lending to them in the first place.
Activist Nikita Bailey is quoted as calling the situation "financial apartheid." According to Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Phillip Morris, it's worse than Katrina.
City councilor Zach Reid explains why Cleveland is such a basket case by echoing the irresponsible rhetoric:
It would have been better if it was an earthquake or a hurricane, we respond better to natural disasters than to men in suits disasters.
Cleveland resident John Brett holds forth from the counter of the Velvet Dog Bar:
People in Washington — George Bush, the US Senate, the US Congress — witnessed it, they stood by and they didn't do nothing to stop it. It was almost like they were on the Titanic, and they could see the iceberg coming and they did nothing about it. They wrecked our American dreams, the willingness to own a home.
It might surprise Brett to learn that the American Dream entails earning a home, not "the willingness" to have one handed to you at someone else's expense by the federal government. No doubt if he knew, Brett would push off from the bar and go look for a job.
On a tip from Matterhorn.
