This story does have merit, and needs to be told, however there are more people involved in steering, specifically at the local level. The real estate agents and their psuedo networks of lawyers and appraisers are just as guilty if not more so. They are the ones who initially decide where to send the loan application and credit information. As a prime example, during my first home-buying experience, it was apparent (after the fact) that the real estate agent knew exactly who would get my application. He was even so kind as to "help me out" with the name of an inexpensive lawyer and home inspector. Looking back, they are all one big happy family. So yes, go after the big guys, but don't forget the little guys too. Lastly, if the NAACP is to remain a viable force in the cause for equality, they have to be more proactive in uncovering issues BEFORE they become nationally known.
