I realize It was a minute later but I don't see what other comment you would be responding to. I took this to mean that the Fed has to pay out 13 million dollars because "it was almost impossible to disentangle the statistical effects of race " Therefore confirming that the white USDA refused the loans because it was almost impossible to not consider race as a factor. If I was mistaken about what you implied then I'm sorry, it must be a reading comprehension problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:323302 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
