“Just so many things wrong with this.”
It’s almost as if they still believe this kind of propaganda still works.

So copper pipe gets stolen out of repossessed homes more frequently in minority neighborhoods and it’s a big racist conspiracy. OK.

Yep, less vandalism in the white neighborhoods. Obviously a civil rights suit is in order.

Yep. Why are blacks and Latinos allowed to have neighborhoods? Are they racist?

Its almost as if they still believe this kind of propaganda still works. The average liberal will read the article and feel no white guilt, as they think to them selves smigly, "That's a shame, but I don't care...I voted for a "black" man."

I know you aren’t a racist. Go ahead and say what you are thinking.
The article makes a big sleight-of-hand and assumes all homes are abandoned in equal condition.

Maybe because there is much more vandalism in black and Latino neighborhoods???
To: SampleMan
Obviously a civil rights suit is in order.Clearly they intend to sue someone but the question is: On whose behalf? Who gets the money other than the lawyers?

Maybe because there is much more vandalism in black and Latino neighborhoods???Perhaps. What if the houses were in worse shape when turned over to the bank? There is no record of the condition when the homes were foreclosed so what are they comparing it to?

I know you arent a racist. Go ahead and say what you are thinking.The things I thing are wrong about this article have nothing to do with race. It's about the process of this stupid study and the impetus behind it. It's another group of vultures (lawyers) looking to make a buck on some one else's misery.

Another question to ask is what condition was the property left in when the occupants left?

I thought the Kenyan was supposed to usher in a new post-racial era. He gave a speech on it and all...

I can see it that way, which makes the conclusion even sadder. To wit: There is potential profit in racism - if unscrupulous men play their cards correctly.

Look at ANY Public Housing Project in America, populated by blacks, and I defy you to find ANY care, maintenance, pride, etc. They become drug-infested ratholes and are over-populated with a 75%+ illegitimate birth rate within.

The article makes a big sleight-of-hand and assumes all homes are abandoned in equal condition. It also assumes that all "neighborhood watch" programs are working with, and not against, law enforcement.

The properties were then scored out of a possible total of 100, based on exterior appearance and curb appeal. In Hartford and New Haven, repossessed properties in white neighborhoods scored 89 points, properties in African-American neighborhoods scored 78 and Latino neighborhoods, 66.
Those racist banks. Oppressed minorities in foreclosure have a right to equal curb appeal!
To: raybbr
The key word in this article is “maintain”. It doesn’t take much to “maintain” a piece of property that has been trashed even before it was vacated.
