    Didn\’t you know that being black makes you slow-pay?
    I can\’t believe anyone, except the KKK, would claim this publicly – in court, no less.

    I guess I\’m stupid for not becoming a lawyer. $11.7 million for the lawyers, $5,000 for the \”victims\”….what a racket.

    …pandering to minority stereotypes that this judgment appears to promote (who said that only whites have good credit, or that hispanic or black individuals can\’t responsibly manage their finances…talk about assinine!!!), did anyone else notice the terms of the settlement?

    How is it that the 6 parties that were purportedly \”wronged\” by Allstate\’s use of a proven underwriting factor only received $5000 each, while their attorneys received $11.7 MILLION! If you do the math, the lawyers received 390 times the total amount awarded to the plaintiffs.

    Is it just me, or does that seem bass ackward to anyone else?

    Asinine has only one s. Look it up in the dictionary.

    This is the teachable moment. Remember it.

    The word does derive from the Latin asinus, but we spell *** with two s\’s to distinguish it from \”as\”

    You Texans just can\’t spell.

    If insurance agents got 390% commission rate we could afford to spend plenty time making sure every insured understood what is said in the insurance policy.

    Gee, Media, thanks for the spelling tip. I\’ll keep that in mind the next time I read some of the incoherent postings I see on this site and don\’t see your valuable input. Here\’s one for you.

    Stick to the subject at hand and voice an educated opinion about the issue rather than utilize the typical liberal tendency to confuse the discussion with unfounded, irrelevant rhetoric.

    When I read this article, it appeared that the issue was about disparate impacts to minorities created by the use of credit scoring (a theory disproved by multiple studies), but I appreciate you turning it into a Latin lesson. I was busy learning Spanish to survive and effectively compete in the world of ever-increasing liberal entitlements, including those resulting from the slow encroachment of our southern border.

    Please note, I\’ll be changing my screen name to N.MexicoGuru within the next 10 years.

    No one should wrongly believe that this case had anything to do with the rights of minority\’s, more important than the attorneys cry for them, was there greed for a large fee. Talk about discrimintion.

    I think it\’s clearly discrimination that they only give a refund to the minorities.

    After all, if they count up the number of folks in each race in America, I would be willing to bet that the white race is no longer the majority! Just look at the schools, the attendence records for the children (check with your real estate agent for listings all over the state) that show the percentages of each race. I have yet to find a school near where I live that has a majority of white children any more. The Majority that I see is Hispanic.

    I\’m ready for the WET channel & White History Month celebration, since I am not real sure that the White race is the Majority any more. You think the White folks will be called racists if they become one of the minorities?

    Oh, & I agree – the Attorney\’s made out like bandits, I bet they are throwing a heck of a party for the judge & giving door prises to the judge too!

    Smells like BS & it got stirred up real good to happen like this!
