Put $100 in an online Black owned bank

I want to open an account with an online Black owned bank by the end of the year. I’ll treat it as an investment in us instead of merely depositing my money.

After switching to a community bank, this is my next step. It’s a real challenge and I’m not the ONLY as the racist narrative has ingrained in us NOT to trust one another.

The science even says that by now, that mistrust is conditioned right into our DNA.

I can’t speak either way on that, but I do know that anything that benefits us will be reflexively targeted.

Just like as we invest in Black farmers, we know that they get their most needed loans 18 months (on average) after their white counterparts.

And when we invest in housing, eminent domain has been declared.

Or a business storefront, cops will target our licenses because the area is mandated to be gentrified.

But we cannot ignore the upside. If 40 million of us invest just $100,

that’s 4 billion dollars in loan money for business ventures that we NEVER would’ve received otherwise.

That’s a nice go around dollar for starters. It’s also a lot of our ventures not having to be funded by our savings and retirement,

which means a lot more ventures out in the pipeline instead of spending the bulk of our creativity working for other companies and making them rich.

Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

ON REPARATIONS

Never banter with white folk about reparations. It’s like arguing with your boss about wages they haven’t paid you. The only acceptable answer, whether they can give it or not, is “Yeah… You right!” Anything less from them is pure toxicity.

SCRATCH THE SURFACE AND THEIR TRUE RACIST VISAGE EMERGES

SCRATCH THE SURFACE AND THEIR TRUE RACIST VISAGE EMERGES Reason #44 for banning the white gaze: Scratch the surface and their true visage emerges. “HOW about reperations for all the White families who’s sons daughters fathers fought in the Union Army to Free the Slaves? How about we drop this entire ridiculous vacuous insane argument about reparations.” Chuck Woolery - Wheel of Fortune game show host.

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE White cops NEVER leak to the press that they’re now investigating specific members (by name) of the Aryan Brotherhood. When it’s them, the investigation is ALWAYS ongoing. But when it’s us, they ‘leak’ that Sandra was ‘suicidal’, Cyntoia and Mike Brown and Marissa Alexander were ‘no Angels’, Korryn was ‘unstable’, King was a philanderer, Trayvon engaged in ground n pound because he watched ultimate fighting on tv (or how the media runs with his dad saying that the blood-curdling scream heard on the 911 call of a neighbor was NOT his son. The last time we heard our son give a piercing scream was when he was slightly colicky at 3months old!). Or it was leaked that grandma Eleanor Bumpers came at the armed and armored cops with a kitchen knife so they had to shoot during the no-knock raid on the wrong home. Or the leak that Sean Bell shot at cops first on eve before his wedding day. Or the leak that Tawana Brawley did...
