Description

Trump’s new minority-bank rule opens the door for white owners to qualify, threatening Black banks, Black capital, and Black wealth-building. For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland Paid Partnership Roland Martin breaks down a major policy change in the banking world: the Trump administration has changed the requirements for which institutions can qualify as minority depository institutions. Instead of the old clear standard tied to racial minority ownership, the new framework allows a bank to qualify if 51% or more of ownership is held by someone considered socially or economically disadvantaged. Roland and National Bankers Association president and CEO Nicole Elam warn that this opens the door for white owners to claim minority-bank status, creating a chilling effect on Black banks’ ability to grow, raise capital, lend in Black communities, and build Black wealth. With only 24 Black banks left, they argue this is not technical reform. It is part of a larger war on Black banks and Black economic power. #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #BlackBanks #BlackWealth #MinorityBanks #Trump #Banking Black Star Network Partner: Chapter Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.
