This stinks. Damages should be awarded to *individuals* who can show that they were charged a higher rate because of their race. Someone in the GOP with brains and guts should make an issue out of this.

So. The government is really saying it is OKAY to prejudge one’s status simply by their name and location.

I’m guessing that what I’ve joking remarked about in the past about the names “Vagisil” and “Nyquille” would be worth some real bucks in that settlement money......

No racism here folks....not a damn bit it seems if it means money to minorities. As long as money is involved it’s okay to have names like NAACP and UNCF.... hypocrits

Most will end up in Democrat campaign coffers for the 2016 elections, because minorities vote Democrat and would send their check to the DNC anyway. Sending these payers directly is a convenience to the minorities, and getting this deal with Ally is VERY convenient to the Democrat Party!

I'm not sure they need those as they are a bit labor intensive. It should be sufficient to use the 'single drop of black blood' rule to measure whether or not they are a minority.

'single drop of black blood' - where have I heard that before? Ah yes, in the Democratic-controlled, Jim Crow deep south! An excellent racial ruler, no?

When have taxpayers been held liable for law violations by private businesses?

“....Most will end up in Democrat campaign coffers for the 2016 elections....”

Standard money laundering for the Obama Crime syndicate. Remember all the solar companies that “failed”??? (for example).

If some transgender freak can perceive themselves to be of a different gender than the gonads they were born with and get special legal rights to impose their perception, then why can't I perceive myself to be a black man and get the same legal rights.

After all, I have a LOT more in common with a black man, than an XY does with a YY, and vice versa.

I’ve wondered if Ally Bank was a sham/set-up....for JUST this purpose. (Payouts...from top down.)

It appeared, almost overnight....running non-stop ads, promotions, etc. Something just didn’t seem right about it, to me.

That’s also about the time I noticed a lot of shiny new GM vehicles, driven by, er...minorities, all over the place.

Coinkydink? Timing is everything.


Ally Bank is a unit of Ally Financial, headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, which became a bank holding company in December 2008.

Because the puppetmasters allege that we have “white privilege” and because we don’t loot, pillage, plunder, behead, rape, kill, etc...

That’s plenty....to get some folks to the voting booth. That, and a promise of continued benefits. A little walking around money....as Jesse J used to call it.

make educated guesses using an algorithm that assigns probabilities to whether borrowers are minorities based on their last names and locations.

Try to imagine the outrage if a Republican was caught doing this.

Upon what was the lawsuit based? If the company did not collect racial information on borrowers, what exactly is it supposed to have done?

Barack Obama, Washington DC... That name and location will be given a 100% probability of being poor, minority by the algorithm.
