They need to quit trying to "take care of us" and simply be the government that the founding fathers designed.
The article actually was arguing bankers were not providing adequate loans to the black community and gave numbers showing how those neighborhoods were getting much fewer loans.

My question still stands: How is it that they aren't providing loans to the black community? Yet in providing these loans they caused the housing meltdown?
