Bank of America, the wokest of wokies, is offering a sweetheart deal to first time homebuyers. No money down and closing cost mortgages! There's just one catch; you have to be black to get it.

If racism is disgriminating against someone on the basis of their skin color, then how is this not racism? Anybody?

And it is being implemented right here in the United States where we have laws against discrimination.

Of course this program will be a disaster; these first time buyers have zero skin in the game and will treat these homes like a transcient apartment, just leaving when the going gets tough. In that regard I hope BOA loses a large fortune.

But the fact they are willing to do this, ,to discriminate against the majority of Americans for a favored class, is reprehensible. We need to boycot these creeps.

This has been something creeping in for a long time. Many banks created Sharia-compliant loans for Muslims, not charging any interest on money borrowed, for example. So we already saw discrimination against Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and atheists. Now we are seeing racial discrimination imposed.

If you have special privileges given to you, despite the justifications ("historic discrimination") you have defacto supremacism. This is black privilege, black supremacism. You can call it what you like but in the end people are being given greater rights and privileges solely based on their race. If that was wrong in the Jim Crow South, is it not equally wrong now?

The beginnings of our modern ideas of rights can arguably be traced to the imposition of the Magna Carta in England. That charter guarateed rights to all Englishment and restricted the power of the King and of the great nobility. It had it's genesis in no small part to the discrimination against Saxons and Angles and the other peoples who were conquered when the Normans invaded in 1066. The pre-Norman peoples had been made second class by the invading Normans (who were, actually, an amalgamation of lesser nobility who had flocked to Williams' call for help in invading England) and the Crusades had removed all the better people from the Ruling Class.

The point is the Magna Carta set standards for all Englishmen, not just those who had the power to enjoy those rights.

In this way we are essentially moving to a post-Magna Carta era. Definitely a post-Constitutional one. We labored for a hundred years to finally enshrine equality under the law as a part of America, and now we are imposing inequality under the law again, only this time against the majority of the population.

It's racism in it's ugliest form. We were promised a color blind society. Now we are getting a very, very biased society promoting minorities at every opportunity over the majority. If it was unfair when it went against the black community how is it not unfair now? Discrimination is discrimination. You can try to dress it up, but a pig is still a pig. Discrimination of any sort is a filthy pig.

How can we create a society that transcends race when we are laboring so hard to enshrine it? And how can we heal any wounds when we keep slicing them open?

This is an abominable thing.
