Bank of Amigo announces new zero-down mortgage program targeted at nonwhite borrowers
2022-09-03
[JustTheNews] Segregation. Their nefarious plot is to get person of colour to take out bigger mortgages than they can afford so that they lose not only the house, but also their savings, incidentally ruining their credit ratings so that they will have to pay more for credit in the future.

Not their intention? But that will be the effect nonetheless.

#21  I just sold pot. Good money. Nice customers. Got the sheepskin and didn't do any borrowing.

#20  How about this for anyone other than a White Man:

Enroll in College.
Get your $10k student loan.
Use that money to get a campus dorm, cafeteria program.
Go to first few classes to establish your enrollment.
Do some hustles to use loan money, like to buy books for others, then sell them to said person for 75% but straight cash.
Whatever expenses which can be, are paid with the student loan money up to but not over the $10k. Live a little with the football season pass or whatever collegeball thing you like. If not, sell tickets.
Work. Work a couple jobs. With rent and utilities and food paid for, gonna make good money.

Buy the hipster mafia with pizza and long tales of woe about not making the grade in class because the system and working two jobs to make the bills is institutionalism or such junk.

Anyone says poo, scream oppression and turn the hipsters loose.

White dude "tranny" could probably get away with it too. Bonus points for getting a team scholarship.

At worse, get a year's worth of income in 4 months. Maybe get a scholarship for dunking on Susie, or even a job in a HR department since you 'attended college' and have a work history.

#19  Federal regulators for years have ‘encouraged’ regulated banks to make loans that a normal for profit lending institution would never make. They are usually not made based on race but based on areas with little to no economic activity (which often looks like race based to the casual observer). The fact they are announcing this is just a recognition of the game being played for years. Note that the regulated banks get generous tax breaks and ‘nice’ cooperation from regulators.

#17  Maybe they know someone else is going to pay it off?

We all know who will pay it off.

#16  And this from the bank that the Wall Street Journal estimates lost over $74 billion in subprime loans back in 2008.

Some people never learn.

#15  No mention of interest rates or payment schedules, don't fn do it. I'd go with indenturement program.

#14  There's a difference between shareholders and people with deposits. Allegedly, the Fed protects the depositors, the shareholders are on their own.

#13  

So, BOA has a home loan qualification process that awards better terms base on Race & Color?

Where is the DOJ for such an openly Racial Discrimination lending practice?

BTW:
According to OPENSECRETS.ORG, BOA donates lots $$$$$ to various campaigns.

#12  The housing mess of 2008 was created on Wall Street. The banks were basically just the barrel of the gun.

#11  Forgetting the housing bubble and bad paper mortgage crash of 2008.

However, I can count on all those involved today have paper credentials hanging on their office walls.

Besoeker said "going through the motions..."

#9  Unfortunately, BoA is pretty much everything you want a bank to be if you are a typical checking account customer. I go where? Wells Fargo? Pulleeze. PNC. No way.

As it is, credit card skimmers have me using cash to buy gas and small purchases at mom n pops. As long as they service my account reliably, I don't see moving to make a protest that will not even register.

#8  /\/\/\ When concerned citizens must register to speak in advance, are only provided 1.5 minutes to speak, when he or she is not responded to from the council or thanked and asked to leave written copies of their concerns for future action, when the 'old business' segment contains no mention of previous meeting citizen concerns, you sort of know what's up.

One older lady gave an impassioned plea regarding the plight of local deer and wildlife. The city council had to visibly restrain their smirks with iphones, mints, and doodling. Body language, it's so revealing.

I believe it's called....going through the motions.

#7  Yeah those developments go south after opening pretty quickly, B. When the 'tenants' have no vested interest in keeping their properties in a reasonable condition, and the landlords not having any recourse as HUD will intervene to protect their 'clients', the whole area changes from what you remember.

#6  Unfortunately, that mayor and city council will be re-elected with ease.

#5  The blue as well as comments 1 thru 4, all very insightful.

Some fellow homeowners and I are pleading with a local mayor and city council to not embrace a "low income" housing partnership with HUD, a planning company and developer. The body language and attitude displayed by the council at the recent city council meeting mirror that seen by school board meetings caught on national television. To say the council was openly dismissive of it's residents comments and concerns might be accurate. The attitude of "it's a done deal" shut up and eat your oatmeal, was palpable.

Regretfully, it would appear this prosperous, rapidly growing North-Georgia (read that 'escape Atlanta') bedroom community is going to have low-income housing despite citizen concerns and protests.

#4  Gonna repeat the 2008 mortgage meltdown all over again by loaning to people who don't normally qualify for their mortgages and don't have to the cushion to make payments when conditions go south.

I see a great untapped mortgage market in 5 million newly arrived illegal aliens. No income or ID required.

#1  The next headline can be:
"People Withdraw Funds from Woke Bank, In Protest of their Discriminatory Lending Practices"

When asked the reason for their withdrawal of funds from the bank 97% of those surveyed site:
"Go Woke, Go Broke" or "Socialism is not Me"
