might have something to do with the diffulct nature of a black business to get a line of credit vs the other races..

Black tend to be asked to put up more captial

more likey to be turn down for credit lines

You cant protest what you do not know is going on, banks do not have to tell you why they denied aloan , just have to say no.. stories like this comes from looking at the data and ,people in the system who rat out these practices

Sources, please.

Of course. They were talking about car insurance. Higher likelihood car is stolen, vandalized and what not. That's nothing new.

2 actually did cite credit issues as the reason and the one about higher auto insurance said it was beacause "credit score, the safety of your neighborhood, whether or not you are married, and your employment status." and then went on to say
"African-Americans, on average, tend to have lower credit scores and live in more dangerous neighborhoods than Asians and Caucasians. They also get married less and have higher divorce rates. In addition, unemployment rates are higher in the African-American community. While insurance companies do not intentionally charge black people more for car insurance, African-Americans do, on average pay more for auto insurance than whites and Asians."

Anyways Im white and I just moved to 2nd ward/East downtown or whatever a few months ago. Guess what my auto insurance went up.

The one about AA paying 3% more for a house had nothing to do with credit either. That article basically said people are willing to accept on average 3% less money from someone of their own race than they would someone from another race.

The only article that just left it at blacks get denied credit just cause was one based on studys from '93 and '98 and was very vauge.
