You have a source for that claim? I know there is discrimination...but that is an EXTREME degree, IMO.

if we as a people didn't die or completely lose all hope during or immediately following being falsely imprisoned, and forced to build an entire country for free; what makes yall think we can't learn to be more productive with our finances and begin the process of bettering ourselves as a whole. As a people we may not make the right decisions at time, but you and I both know we are far from incapable of doing anything we put our minds too.

Well a normal bank may just look at numbers
As in how much u make
Credit score
Late payments and things like that when making a decision
A black owned bank
AND AGAIN IM JUST ASSUMING
DONT TAKE THIS AS FACT
a black owned bank may take all that into consideration
But it may also look at other things on a more personal level
Like yes on this person was late paying this
And this and this
But oh ok he lost his job during this period
And as soon as he started working again payments continued
Or something like that idk
They just may be more willing to take a chance on someone
Think of a regular bank as a stranger
That stranger wouldn't just give u money without knowing u
And then think of the black owned bank as maybe an associate
Y'all may not be friends
But y'all know of each other and have mutual friends
He may loan u some money because he seen u around
Or seen u when y'all kicked it with y'all mutual friend
I hope I'm making sense or u get what I'm TRYING to convey
And again I'm just assuming

What the * are shoe companies supposed to "do for minorities"? Give you free shoes? Not sell to white people? I don't understand why the whole world must stop and "do" something because a guy got shot.

No he doesn't have a reputable source. Same as the "whites commit 90% of crimes but get arrested 5% of the time" type stats

HIGHLY recommend reading this on housing discrimination
It's from Patrick Sharkey's research found in this book
I'll try and find a graph for you guys too

They could send supplies to the protestors such as water
Issue a statement just saying something as simple as justice for all
It's people like u that are too narrowminded to see the big picture
And one of the main reasons the world is how it is with prejudice all around
Getting free shoes wouldn't be the point
It would be to RAISE AWARENESS
A big company like that
It would make headlines
And draw attention
News coverage would constantly be talking about Nike and them helping to raise awareness

Gonna rep u in a sec for the source...but to the paragraph up posted, why do you think that is (black families being handicapped by their restricted choice of neighborhood)?
*I feel like this could be a great discussion in another thread. Sorry if this derailed it a bit.

Because they were not allowed to live in certain areas, and when in the rare case they purchased a home in that area, they were run out. The rest of the article explains everything and in greater detail. But it's also not a quick read.

I think because some whites don't or can't accept a minority living on the same block as them
A black person probably has to put up with to many headaches living in those type if neighborhoods
First day they move in probably have people coming over expecting them to be a rapper or bball player

Does this apply to Hispanics and other minorities when applying for home loans?
I can't say I've ever experienced anything that I suspected to be unfair to me when applying for a CC or loan or credit limit increase, etc.

Reporting me for not breaking the rules is breaking the rules and grounds for suspension. This is America. Not everyone has to agree with everyone or have the same view point.

Techincally this is Niketalk... They COULD ban you from this thread, but they wont since you haven't really broken any rules.
But yea, 1st amendment really doesn't apply on NT.

I see... I wonder if this stuff is more regional. I was one of only a few 'brown' kids in my school and town growing up but I cant say I've experienced anything like whats described there when dealing with banks or credit card companies.

I'll have to read the article when I get some more time, but I'm curious about a lot of things in it.
1. The people selected in these case studies...
2. The years when the study was done.
3. WHY they were forced out.
Personally, I know of PLENTY of minority families living in predominately Caucasian neighborhoods in the DMV that have little-to-no problems in dealing with their neighbors. I guess they are the lucky ones because clearly there is a lot of discrimination that goes on when going through the home buying process etc.

Who said anything about free shoes.
The face of a black man is behind one of the most profitable companies in America.
The customers responsible for this are the same kids and adults being killed and mistreated in the U.S.
Since we pride ourselves in being "fly", how better to attack their bottom line by not advertising their product for free online through social media.
They want to spend millions on gay and lesbian agendas so how is supporting another minority any different?

It's more of a historical process following families from reconstruction leading up to how the violence in Chicago has been about 300 years in the making. You just gotta read it because the entire time I read it, everything was clicking
