Sad, stupid and wrong all at the same time :knuppel2: ...Reminds me of my friend's mom. Her mom said she would rather see her marry a Chinese crack dealer that hurt others than a Black doctor, engineer, lawyer...that is a good productive member of society.. :idiot2::

This Is What Racism Sounds Like in the Banking Industry



Jimmy Kennedy earned $13 million during his nine-year career as a player in the National Football League. He was the kind of person most banks would be happy to have as a client.

But when Kennedy tried to become a “private client” at JPMorgan Chase, an elite designation that would earn him travel discounts, exclusive event invitations and better deals on loans, he kept getting the runaround.

At first, he did not understand why. Then, last fall, he showed up at his local JPMorgan branch in Arizona, and an employee offered an explanation.

“You’re bigger than the average person, period. And you’re also an African American,” the employee, Charles Belton, who is black, told Kennedy. “We’re in Arizona. I don’t have to tell you about what the demographics are in Arizona. They don’t see people like you a lot.” Kennedy recorded the conversation and shared it with The New York Times.

He played for several teams after getting drafted by the St. Louis Rams at number 12 overall. I believe he played for the Vikings for about 3 seasons and he won the Super Bowl with the Giants when they beat the Patriots.
