“They’re aware that the affordable-housing goals of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (and) the Community Reinvestment Act (aim to help) poor people. And let’s be honest, the fact that some poor people are black doesn’t hurt either from their standpoint.”

Gee, I honestly never equated “poor people” with “black people” and I grew up in a town that’s about 35 miles from Capitol Hill. Maybe Barney should get out of the Boston suburbs — or quit hanging around Dupont Circle — and experience a dose of reality.

Putz.
