Tavis Smiley needs to have a conversation with one of his primary sponsors, Wells Fargo. This week, it was announced that Wells Fargo is being sued by the city of Baltimore for egregiously racist predatory lending practices in the black community. The company has been accused by some former loan officers of targeting subprime, low quality loans to black neighborhoods, leading to a dramatic economic collapse for the black community of Baltimore.
The statistical evidence is daunting. Half of all the properties foreclosed by Wells Fargo are vacant and 71% of those properties are in black neighborhoods. Wells Fargo's African American borrowers with incomes greater than $68,000 per year were 8 times more likely to hold subprime loans than white borrowers with the same income.

Sometimes we can't imagine that sports are so funny but we really enjoyed when we look at funny sports pictures, moments and videos. There you have it, folks, in a nutshell: the chief feature of My - Space is that it's quick and easy enough to use that you
can post a bulletin or check a friend's page and be done in the two minutes that it takes your boss to come over to your desk, suspicious that you're once again not working.
While wasting your time watching something marginally funny may actually
frustrate you, watching truly hilarious movies and shows is an easy way
to get laughter into your life whenever you need it.
