As a 31 year old black man... I CAN'T WAIT TO START REAPING ALL THE PERCEIVED Benefits we BLACK PEOPLE have in society.

I mean, as a college graduate, I love getting beat out for entry level jobs by young hot white girls with GED's. I also enjoyed not even getting considered for management in a Telecommunication company even though I had trained half the people that were above me.

The best is when I went to get a loan to consolidate my debt and they told me I needed to pay my debts before they could give me a loan... but my white roommate walked out of the same bank with over $1k more than he asked for even though he was 8 times more in debt then me.

and I really enjoyed that 21% Car loan I was given when the average rate was like 2%.

Those were the days.

I will say this... This post was started with a story about blacks receiving loans and whites being denied... and it wasn't too long ago that a large Chrysler lender in the MidWest was popped because he denied all blacks loans stating that "n*ggers don't pay their bills." I could have easily started a post speaking about the racism against blacks but I didn't because I realize that there are some decision makers who have their heads up their asses when it comes to race.

Growing up in a neighborhood that quickly went to shit in the late 80's I can honestly say that the programs in place are needed because there are some GOOD people who are victims of circumstance and need a little help to get going which is what the programs are intended to do. When people blatently abuse these programs it places a stigma on the ptrogram on a whole and causes people to stand up and say they are unfair.

I"m pretty tired right now so please excuse me if my arguments are not as eloquent as I would like them to be... No Soup raises some interesting points though... some that will be addressed as soon..

as I get...

some...

sleem.

zzzzzzzzzzz
