I mean, that black guy leaning out the front window with a cheese-eating grin and a fist full of money -- really, if they'd hired a white supremacist artist to paint something <em>satirizing</em> minority-targeted home loans, could he have come up with something better?<br /><br />It's amazing how, when liberals are so well-insulated by like-minded people that they never ever encounter the kind of racism they claim is endemic to society, they can forget to recognize the warning signs. Only in an office where everyone is so liberal that they're convinced they could never do anything racist even on accident could something like this be approved. <br /><br />In an ordinary office where there might be some token conservatism to keep the liberals on their toes, someone would have spotted the problem with this immediately and blocked it, probably burning all copies in the parking lot just to make sure no one saw it.Cail Corishevhttp://cailcorishev.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-89398962627596383082013-03-01T00:17:40.038-08:002013-03-01T00:17:40.038-08:00One more time: as if these people commissioned thi...One more time: as if <a href="http://www.putumayo.com/" rel="nofollow">these people</a> commissioned <a href="http://michaelbirawer.com/" rel="nofollow">this fellow</a>.Reg Cæsarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-65317122528111460122013-03-01T00:05:41.802-08:002013-03-01T00:05:41.802-08:00That mural by Coitado-- excuse me, Cortada-- looks...That mural by Coitado-- excuse me, Cortada-- looks like <a href="www.putumayo.com/" rel="nofollow">Putumayo Records</a> commissioned <a href="www.michaelbirawer.com/" rel="nofollow">Michael Birawer</a> to do their album covers.Reg Cæsarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-38576963149793094942013-02-28T22:46:45.289-08:002013-02-28T22:46:45.289-08:00Yeah, some editor approved that cover because he m...Yeah, some editor approved that cover because he misjudged the exceedingly fine line between being inclusive of melanin-enabled folks (like the rule that all doctors, lawyers, computer geniuses and so-forth on TV are black or vibrant, unless they are evil), and mocking them.<br /><br />If the folks caricatured on that cover had been white, that editor would be in trouble for under-inclusiveness (racism). He avoided that crime but he allowed the artist to over-egg the pudding. In the future (if he keeps his job) he will remember: to each two black figures in an illustration add one hispanic (a darkish asian may be substituted) and one white. The white must look foolish or wicked, and the blacks must look noble or at least jovial.Pipernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-57788422890459622452013-02-28T21:32:09.781-08:002013-02-28T21:32:09.781-08:00Hispanic art, both the Indio and blanco sort, is s...Hispanic art, both the Indio and blanco sort, is shockingly primitive.robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-4436005438222447542013-02-28T20:10:15.400-08:002013-02-28T20:10:15.400-08:00And then there's the luck of the Irish.<a href="http://www.irishcentral.com/story/news/sidewalks/the-irish-cant-win-on-race---sanitation-workers-case-on-favoritism-to-the-irish-post-superstorm-sandy-193812721.html" rel="nofollow">And then there's the luck of the Irish.</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-53509183387449145582013-02-28T19:43:27.246-08:002013-02-28T19:43:27.246-08:00I am absolutely sure that the editor and everyone ...I am absolutely sure that the editor and everyone on staff had no thought whatsoever that this cover could be considered "racist." It looks like the standard, ubiquitious illustration of "an America that looks like America," the kind of illustration that has been legion for about 20 years.<br /><br />Yes, wiser heads saw it after publication and their inner alarm bells went off: "Non-whites are being portrayed as doing something non-saintly - crimethink alert! And the subject is the housing bubble and foreclosures (which we know were non-white skewed, from White House policy on down) - DOUBLEPLUS UNGOOD! Scotch this, and quick."<br /><br />The 1st Anon. said<br /><br />>no one has to be told to [skew ads racially,] they just need to know there is no penalty for anti-white bias<<br /><br />Actually what communicates the anti-white party line is demonstrations - like this one - that there is a huge penalty for portraying non-whites as human beings (venal like everyone else). If your friends in advertising demand to be shown "the memo," then show them this story. It is the memo. And it's only one "memo" of many that the culture-critiquers have issued over the years.<br /><br />A lot of industry people got "the message" with this one, I wager.<br /><br />And look at the cowards apologizing, bowing and scraping before their true masters.

The Mortgage Meltdown was never due to minority defaults. Banks were never very strongly encouraged to lend to minorities by the government. It was and has always been solely about the greed of White bankers. We should expect that if we peel back enough layers it must have been bankers who are Christian White Southern Men who are bright, have worked hard, and have been successful. In other words, evil racists who were given unfair privilege.Maxwellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-2111277350382349102013-02-28T19:17:32.693-08:002013-02-28T19:17:32.693-08:00Be fruitful and multiply your forces.

I could only afford to purchase a small condo in Santa Clara county, there were immigrants at my work that had lower positions than me that were able to get a government secured loan at a lower interest rate. I chose to buy a place in the Central Valley and commute. In the early 2000s, I noticed numerous new latino homeowners in the Valley, many of whom I never heard speak English. It was a mystery of how they could afford $300K-$500K homes. All of those I noticed foreclosed about 2008.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-18292426409184801312013-02-28T18:17:28.904-08:002013-02-28T18:17:28.904-08:00Guzman sure seems to have looked at a lot of R.
