Biracial rapper pulls out of festival after learning white people charged $10 more than people of color

It's not the Democrats being racists..

They're trying to provide opportunity for the less-fortunate folks out there...The likely majority just-happen to be "colored" people.

At least it offers a chance / start in life, though I'm always one to frown upon going into debt...

Typically ( here in Oz anyhow ), these "grants" basically only cover all the hidden-fees & taxes associated with a home mortgage, that's all. ( Land rates, transfer fees, stamp-duty, GST, Title transfer fees, lawyers etc etc etc ).

You smoking some grass today Rastus!? LOL, these Democrats dont give a fuck about anything but getting elected! Most of the Democrats running today will be bankrupt after the primaries anyway!

Perhaps Australia should give grants to all the immigrants they keep on Christmas Island and allow them to live on the mainland? 

Anyone paying $25k in closing cost is getting a pretty fucking big mortgage Rastus - I think that would be in the order of OVER $500,000! Then they will collect PMI on all these people who will not make their payments and stress out the currently fucked up mortgage market. 

You are always one to frown on going into debt? I hate to tell you this Rastus, but currently you're $30,000 quid in the hole pal, thanks to your government!

LOL !

We have dozens of "detention centres" here in Oz. Christmas Island is only one-of-them, & likely famous since it's totally contaminated with Uranium & other fall-out from the British / American Nuke tests.

The "average" 3-4 bedroom home in-the-burbs of say Melbourne, is around 4-500 K....( Maybe more )...

I'll just let the gov't claim bankruptcy, & everything will be fine !

I am starting to think that is what every government is thinking!

They want to be sure everyone is indebted regardless if you want to be or not! Do you really think and American could pay their $68k per head and say, "I've paid my share now quit spending in my name"? Eh, NO... No you could not!

Way I see it is if they are going to offer $25k subsidies to get people in homes it should not be limited to just people of color! It should be be based 1st on the persons ability to pay for and maintain a home! Giving a bunch of people down payments for a home just because they are black isn't exactly what I consider fair for all. I thought we were moving FORWARD from the days of discrimination, not backwards!

You know Rastus, I never got a $25k hand out to put down on my home! 

I sort of feel like maybe I should get a $25k check towards the principal on my mortgage if they are going to be giving away money! 

I think a lot of home-owners will feel the same!

Sounds like we have similar luck with such things Rastus... If it weren't for bad luck, we would have no luck! LOL

Your bad luck was not buying a new built home, which cost you the concession. In my case, me not being black will cost me mine!
