[QUOTE="Ken-1122, post: 75876969, member: 277047"] I think the problem with most well-off blacks attempting to help blacks that are less well off, is those blacks who are well-off are trying to compete against white people in the same business who are just as well off, who are not being held back trying to help poor whites. If I’m racing against you, and I have a slower person holding me back but you don’t, you’re gonna beat me. If I am a black bank owner, and you are a white bank owner, and I am trying to help poor blacks who don’t qualify to get a loan from you, I have taken on the responsibility of dealing with high risk clients; which means my interest rate is gonna be much higher than yours, meaning blacks (and whites) who are well off will go to your bank for a loan over mine because your rates are lower. To do this I will be putting myself at a disadvantage when competing against you. I have all the admiration in the world for those who have made it and use their success to help others, but I also understand those who have made it who do not. [/QUOTE]
