Finished reading MLK's speech "I've been to the mountaintop" and he mentions a black-owned bank...

[Gallo]

"But not only that, we've got to strengthen black institutions. I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State Bank. We want a "bank-in" movement in Memphis."-Martin Luther King

This is the banks website

Anyway I started doing more research into black-owned banks and found this tid-bit

http://urbanintellectuals.com/2013/...-african-american-owned-banks-in-the-country/

"That’s right, we have over a trillion dollars in spending annually, but only keep $4.7 billion dollars of this in Black Owned Banks.

Any of you 6 certs 6 figure brehs do any business with any of these institutions?

 

[Molecule Man]

It won't make any difference if they are like the other banks in America. The classic bank is an inherently evil institution and does not work for the good of the people generally. It does not matter if you are for a 'black' bank, bc they are all the same. But black people do need to be better about their money though.

 

[Food Mane]

bank based on ethnicity, brehs.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Not balling, but my bank was previously black owned til 2010 or 2011, plan to shift my account to City NB.

Yeah my dealings with banks have been very healthy and professional. Take that they're evil nonsense somewhere else.

Most of these are down south, and not a single one operates around my way
If a black-owned bank goes national
Atlanta brehs have no excuse

That's dangerously close to the shyt Malcolm was advocating for.

That speech was made the day before he was assassinated

"Now the other thing we'll have to do is this: Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal. Now, we are poor people. Individually, we are poor when you compare us with white society in America. We are poor. Never stop and forget that collectively -- that means all of us together -- collectively we are richer than all the nations in the world, with the exception of nine. Did you ever think about that? After you leave the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, West Germany, France, and I could name the others, the American Negro collectively is richer than most nations of the world. We have an annual income of more than thirty billion dollars a year, which is more than all of the exports of the United States, and more than the national budget of Canada. Did you know that? That's power right there, if we know how to pool it. " - Martin Luther King

The American banking system is the main reason why the American dollar has lost over 90 percent of its worth. Fractional Reserve lending robs the people of their spending power and is a form of legalized slavery. You have a strange definition of 'Healthy and professional.' Banks are guilty of usury, predatory lending, theft, and on and on. Putting a black face on a bank does not change its inherent purpose, which is to steal money from its customers to make its owners wealthy.

That's why I learn to not feed into that stupid Malcolm vs Martin shyt. All the leaders were right in their own ways.

Notice, not one refutation of anything I said. But please, keep on posting your meaningless smileys.
