So from what you posted Bush wants to help blacks buy homes.


Yet today, while nearly three-quarters of all white Americans own their homes, less than half of all African Americans and Hispanic Americans are homeowners.

So my administration is proposing the American Dream Down Payment Fund. When a low-income family is qualified to buy a home, but comes up short on the down payment, the American Dream Down Payment Fund will help provide the needed funds. We estimate that this fund will open the door to homeownership for 40,000 low-income families annually.

Over the next five years, this will provide developers nearly $2.4 billion in tax credits for building affordable single-family housing in distressed areas. These credits will make 200,000 new homes available over its first five years to low-income purchasers.

Are you even able to actually comprehend anything anymore TLB?

The deliberate headline stressing BLACKS was put in place to inflame the issue.

The plan will help low-income families buy homes. Hispanics and Blacks (being the two largest minorities in the country) were pointed out as an example of the discrepancy in home ownership.

Now, you may or may not agree with the policy, but the headline was deceiving, missleading, and inflammatory.

Then again, like Uncle Bill, you love propaganda.
