Where’s the allegation of service discrimination by race? It claims that it’s by wealth.

2. and discrimination:
This is an apartheid system and certainly preferential to their wealthier customers.

It’s a Tyler joke. A business that treats customers differently based on their ability to pay for more expensive services or products has “an apartheid system”.

Hahahaha

Since those mortgagees who have lower credit scores must pay more in origination and interest presumably what we have in mortgage lending is “an apartheid system”.

Just as I suspected: Fannie and Freddie and Barney Frank are all part of “an apartheid system”.

If the US were truly capitalistic, all capital gains, long or short term, would not be taxed at all.
