INDIANAPOLIS -- The city’s largest bank is closing branches on the city’s north and west sides, but some groups are crying foul.

The Chase bank at 29th and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. streets will close Aug. 20 and the branch at 38th Street and Washington Boulevard will close at the end of July.

Both branches serve heavily concentrated minority communities.

Some members of the city’s minority community have complained to members of the Indianapolis City-County Council and Congressman Andre Carson about the closures.

I believe that in this current volatile racial climate brought on by the usual suspects, that if ANYTHING occurs that inconveniences them, racism is the first charge.

Sad state of the Union.

They should open a branch of the Al Sharpton National Bank.

It’s a bank. Find a different one. Just as if the neighborhood liquor store closes. Find a different one.

Stop crying racism for every little problem in your lives.

It’s called “Online Banking”, look into it.

In my nice middle class area, two Coco’s family restaurants, plus a Ruby’s Diner, a 50s themed place, recently closed.

And a tanning salon/beauty salon place also closed.

So these places became empty storefronts.

The point is, businesses come and go, and close down all the time. I’m sure Chase had business reasons to close these branches.

So what is going on? From now on, a business in certain special areas needs to get permission before moving or closing a branch? Will they have to somehow prove they aren’t racist when they make business decisions??? What the heck kind of world are we devolving into???

Well, opening a tanning salon in the darker parts of town would not be a smart business idea?

Just sayin'

Even banks are smart enough to move away from MLK Drive in any city.

That's easy for your white privilege to think so.../ S

Seriously, many blacks and lower income people are very distrustful of banks in general and bad credit is another reason they do not use banks, they can't get an account set up.

As for online banking, that's probably is a real mystery to many minorities, especially young or uneducated blacks...

Schools do not teach anything about how to live your life after school even if you graduate and since the vast majority of black youth have no father figure, nobody is home to teach them...

True story, when I ran a warehouse, one of my best employees was a young black guy, he came to me one day to help him write a letter and mail it...

He literally did not know how to do it...

I also made him sign up for the 401 K plan, because he had already worked there for 6 years and nobody took the time to explain why it was important to save for your future...

Exactly. It’s just unfair.
You can’t burn a building down,
that only used to be there.

And that’s my poem of the day.
