[BB&T] has a long history of making slightly eccentric demonstrations of its commitment to corporate citizenship. For example, it has given $1 million to several Carolinas universities, including UNC Charlotte, to endow the study of the moral foundations of capitalism.
It also leaves BB&T standing alone. Experts said they were not aware of another bank with a similar policy. Bank of America Corp. said it had no such policy. Wachovia Corp. said it did not comment on lending policies.
Mind you...Wachovia is making reparations for earlier financing of lands that were legally (at the time) siezed from blacks. These guys are in so far over their heads that they couldn't possibly draw a parallel.
