It didn’t make any difference to the policy makers in Clinton’s administration.
Yep, good old Andrew Cuomo, Jr.
"Do you think these guys know The Commodores?"
Apparently they use it the same way this new APP is designed to be used.
When I start seeing check cashing joints, signs advertising rental furniture with "E-Z" payments and "Payday Loans" - it's time to lock down your doors, hang a right turn, then another right and quickly get back to whence you came.
Martin Luther King Boulevard...always a dead giveaway you took a wrong turn. Punch "Maple Drive" into your GPS (any tree name will do) and just go where it tells you - take my word on that.
“Roll ‘em up!”
I can think of a lot of black and Latino people who would like to avoid high crime areas. Are they racist too?
Just wait until some ‘blacks’ write an App that helps them avoid Hispanic neighborhoods.
I did that once in Oakland. Pretty much, I wouldn't get off on any exit in Oakland unless I were going somewhere specific and I knew it was the right exit.
The dead president streets in Chicago are generally OK as long as you stay east of Halsted street and north of the Eisenhower Expressway. That’s because all of those presidents (except for the Adamses and VanBuren) owned slaves. LOL
Damn, I can’t find it for android.
High crime areas have exactly the same outlines on the map as areas filled with America’s first victim group. So if you show a high crime area, you are showing a high minority area.
Is it coincidental the “bad” (dangerous) neighborhoods tend to be black or ethnic neighborhoods? If an app that helps me avoid an area based on crime statistics tends to direct me away from areas that have a high black or ethnic population, how is that racist? Sometimes the truth hurts.
Bet your sweet bippy Jesse Jackson would use it.
“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage of my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
Yes, when my parents moved they were informed that their Auto insurance would be going up. They were also asked which side of a main thoroughfare they were on and told that being on the east would have raised it even further.
I just tried to get the Apple version. Nothing. Not in the App Store at all. Looks like they have already wiped it out??
It appears that the App Store has blocked it from Search. I tried every combination. So much for First Amendment rights. You’ll have to go directly to their website for the download link.

That's already been investigated and debunked. No lending institution is going to turn down a loan that would make them money. The whole Clinton admin lie about redlining was based on disparate impact. More blacks and latinos were turned down than other groups. But whites were turned down more than Asians. Nobody was being discriminated against on the basis of their ethnicity. The lie about redlining led to the sub-prime mortgage loans and the eventual financial collapse in 2007.
