      Tommy Hass Yeah, because only black people couldn't afford 6 figure loans. Oh wait, that's bullshit. The only possible criteria for a loan is race, not relevant examples like actual proven and measure income. Oh no, that's bullshit again!
      Fuck off you racist shit-stain.
      " for the simple reason that whites and blacks are not equally intelligent or forward thinking."
      (1) Verifiably false.
      (2) doesn't even matter if it was, it's about whether they will pay or not. Some very smart people con their way out of paying.
      " However, the banks are not allowed to do this, since this is "diskriminashun". Hence, housing crash."
      No, they can't do that people not a single fucking person thinks that racial discrimination is remotely accurate.
      Income discrimination IS accurate, these sneaky loan traders are guilty of FAILING TO DISCRIMINATE! But discriminate based on the numbers rather than who their fucking daddy was.
      That means Michael Jordan gets a big loan, but a 100% white but minimum-wage part-time worker doesn't.
      I know exactly your sort.

      You take them out of the cycles of poverty, and under-funded schools and they do great.
      Put a white kid in the same shitty environment and they do crap.
      "Everything that could be used to measure intelligence and time preference points to blacks being less intelligent."
      Actually nothing does.
      And correlations don't count as a measurement. It's like saying that having testicles gives you lung cancer, when it is simply that men smoke more.

      Tommy Hass Ohh You say I'm unbelievable when you said:
      "I don't see the need to further respond to you, "
      Only to be back AGAIN repeating the same idiotic claims.
      You're so full of shit.
      "Look up the transracial adoption studies in Minnesota."
      No other study has found the same results, not all the studies before, not all the studies since. More studies have "proven" that Smoking cigarettes doesn't cause cancer
      You think the distinction between correlation and causation is a fallacy. Jesus fucking Christ, that's so fucking stupid.
      Now do as you say you'd do and fuck off.

      Andrew D., what you've just said... Is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this comment section is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no likes, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    BTW this first aired in the 1984-85 season where billy crystal and Martin Short were regulars and Eddie Murphy came back to host. That whole show exceeded the hype building up for Eddie coming back.....not only is this one of the best skits of all time, that show was one of the best episodes in SNL history

      Eddie Murphy and Martin Short and so many other alumni of SNL are so amazing I love so many of them and as bad as some of the skits could have been lots of times fortunately in reruns they only play the best skits so I get to see all the best skits without having to have watched it for 30 years every week!!!!
