Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Did the respondents engage in the practice of
peddling subprime mortgages to unsuspecting
Black American mortgagors? Was this practice
discriminatory and did it have a disparate impact
under the Federal Housing Act of 1968, on myself
and on other unsuspecting Black Americans,
which disproportionately caused us into definite
foreclosure, and still remains the number one
public crisis in the Black American community
until this day?

2. Have Black American communities across the
United States, suffer disparate treatment, and
discrimination, and disparate impact as a result of
the policies and practices, of respondents; which is
in direct conflict with the Fifth Amendment,
Fourteenth Amendment, and the Fair Housing Act
of 1968.

3. Did Countrywide Mortgage Home Loan Bank,
cause a public crisis in Black American communities
across the United States, and those who were
affected never made whole or compensated by the
Big Banks (Bank of America), Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac, Controller of the Currency which in turn
main targets, and victims of these peddled subprime
mortgages to lose their homes, all credit standing,
forced into bankruptcy, forced to live in substandard
housing accommodations due to their foreclosure
status, and never made whole, in direct conflict with
the statutory and constitutional property rights of
Anglo-American civil jurisprudence "Corpus Juris
Civilis"?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the respondents engage in discriminatory practices that had a disparate impact on Black Americans under the Fair Housing Act?
