Whoops. Stefan spoke too soon. I'm sure Stefan will retweet this and not look dishonest.

Should have kept the "thread" in the one that already existed. This is normal.

If person A says “Event X was caused by Factor Y,” and person B says “Event X was caused by multiple factors, none of which were Y” then person B is explaining why person A is wrong. Then the question becomes “Whose account more accurately reflects the historical record?”

I mean, his “argument” (it’s just a claim, really) is that “banks were forced to make loans to unqualified minorities” but he provides exactly 0 evidence for that assertion. (The CRA doesn’t reference skin color, but rather neighborhood income levels.)

@welldrawndog spent more than a handful of tweets on this and didn't mention the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) at all. Wonder why? It was that one thing that led to all the financial instruments he laid out. The CRA was started to give depressed groups a hand out.#Narrative - 1 more reply

He added a thread where he explains the actual causes. It's literally in the thread of the tweet you are mocking. Are you afraid of trying to refute his actual argument or unaware of it?
