Liberals, whether black or white, generally assume that we black people are too stupid to be able to care for our own interests...we take no responsibility for anything.
You don't need a college degree or to be "rich" to know if you can or can't afford a mortgage payment. We make excuses for ourselves and it's resulting in our people being convinced that we really are as stupid as white libs say we are. No one forced people to take out loans they knew they couldn't repay.

Well the thing is, that in some of the examples she mentioned there's no money to be tracked, and answering 'who benefits' does not necessarily answer what the actual cause of the problem is. I mean when there are problems of people simply being detached or impassive as to the issue, rather than somebody having an agenda to prevent something from changing...

Yeah, I believe you're advocating making me responsible for the ignorance of others. What's implicit in this woman's disconnected speech is that most persons are stupid and cannot take care of themselves. I would disagree. I am in finance and I do not buy certain investment products such as some derivatives because I don't understand them. It's important not to invest in something you don't know anything about. It's quite evident that this lady wants her grubby hands on more of my money.

"Common" ...to whom? Not everyone is financially savvy. What seems to be "common knowledge" is seldom "common" at all! Predatory lending seems like a fitting moniker for a system of "baiting" individuals who are either financially challenged or misinformed/uninformed...It's the living out of the saying "Like taking candy from a baby"... Just because it would never happen to us, doesn't make it okay to do to others...and also doesn't make it impossible...
-
She says very clearly, "If you track the money, you'll find the answer to the question..." That's the message.
-
Ok this speach is pretty good, but what is her message? Is she saying that no one benefits, or that white people benefit? The latter would be kind of fucked up. And misleading.

Truer words have never been spoken. Bravo to Vashti McKenzie.

Here we are in September 2008 and now in a money crisis. The War in Iraq is bankrupting this country and we are still there. This lady is on point with her comments!

I wish people had listened to her then. Perhaps now we wouldn't have this mortgage crisis.
