[QUOTE="floridays, post: 3480542, member: 68849"] I know you are in Georgia now, not sure if you are of the 1950's and 60's south, but if you were we both know discrimination absolutely did exist. I have a hard time believing it was based solely on race but stand to be corrected. I've looked at both arguments and find it hard to believe that a mortgage company would vote against their interest to make money. The wrinkle to me does come with the FHA, a government program that backed these loans, absolving the mortgage company of some liability. I am now changing my mind and agreeing with those who have argued with me. I do think, through government dictate, in prescribing the rules for underwriting and securing these loans was responsible for the redlining. My question turns to, Who controlled the government and promoted this discrimination?
