New York (CNN Business)Bank of America is donating $1 billion over the next four years to community programs and small businesses to help address economic and racial inequality that has been exacerbated by Covid-19.
CEO Brian Moynihan said in press release Tuesday that "underlying economic and social disparities" were made worse by the pandemic and mentioned the nationwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in police custody has "created a sense of true urgency."

Why dont they take that money and lower their rates and also pay higher interest?
Thank you. Disgusting. I wouldn’t have joined with them if I knew that.
Can anybody suggest a bank that isn’t sickening in its views and actions? I don’t mind an online bank
They’ll dish it out in a way that it comes back to them one way or another. I can’t see them giving out a billion dollars under any other scheme.
Running scared. You wouldn’t know there was a problem when you watch all these TV shows and commercials. They’re doctors, lawyers, police captains. Almost all are the boss of the white dudes. you see all theses successful black families and interracial families living well commercials.
Yeah I’m okay with being hated. I say it in front of Puerto Ricans and blacks that the kids don’t have a chance because none of them have their fathers around. I tell them they shouldn’t have more kids because they can’t take care of the ones they have now, the government is. I don’t need them to like me.
as a matter of fact I should have my head examined for being the only white person in a two or three mile radius dating someone there.
It’s amazing I’m still alive.
So far I’ve seen two shootouts :-)
God are they terrible at gunfights . Shooting behind them while running.
USAA is a good on-line bank. I just use a local one from my town now.

Many, many people have echoed those sentiments in recent years. TV ads are obnoxious especially.
Affirmative Action is alive and well and thriving.
C'mon, now; tell us how you REALLY feel! ;^)
Its amazing Im still alive.
You apparently value the company of the person you are dating highly. Hope things work out well for you both.
Bank of America is trawling for new suckers for their predatory lending practices.
Yeah and I love her two kids. They were 13 and 15 when we started dating. I think I helped them see that there’s a different path they can take.
One actually took the SATs which means he wants to go to college. The other was in trouble with the law at 15 and we got him into Job corps. he has not committed any crimes in several years. let’s see what happens.
I have never sugarcoated anything with them.
But an incident like the past week shows our severe differences of opinion on certain things which makes the future shaky at best. It is what it is.
and that was a very kind and open-minded comment you made though . Appreciated.
Pure public relations.
Ironic that it’s an empty gesture, when it’s costing a billion-dollars.
Liberal logic on display.
They need to spend 1 billion on UNITY training. Not diversity training. The country NEEDS Unity.
They should put it all in their ATMs - it’ll be all distributed tonight.
That’s absurd, what about giving it back to the taxpayers?
So the extortion ploy worked.
Make that near $28 TRILLION
Total Cost of the War on Poverty
The financial cost of the War on Poverty has been enormous. Between 1965 and 2016, total means-tested welfare spending by federal and state governments cost taxpayers roughly $27.8 trillion in constant FY 2016 dollars. By contrast, the cost to the U.S. government for all military wars from the American Revolution to the present is $8 trillion in FY 2016 dollars.19

Calculations assume that war-designated expenditures in FY 2016 are the same as in FY 2015 (the most recent fiscal year for which data are provided in the Belasco report).
