Anyway, the 2009 foreclosure crisis was caused by underwriters approving a lot of loans that should simply never have been offered and this shouldn't be controversial on the left (if you want to give things to the poor you should give them not lend them)

The majority of those mortgages were held by white people, and this whole thing was a completely separate issue from redlining and should not be spoken of as the same topic
