You take the W anyway you can, but boy do I wish that money could have funded a couple credit unions in black communities. Unlike a bank, the depositors control the credit union and thus its a non-profit, using the profits to offer low interest rates and zero-to-low fees to its members. A credit union in Black communities can wipeout check cashing businesses. Also since its the community that makes up the depositors, its far less likely to see discrimination against the members of the community it resides. You build and grow communities by keeping the money within it. The Black banks in Greenwood district in Tulsa had owners that lived in the community it served.
