most African American kids are just not interested. MLB has been trying to garner interest for years.

This is completely Biden’s fault…this political show trial stunt is causing the mental ill people that Biden has allowed to roam the streets to do irrational things…..
This post can't be for real.

No, and that's why they charge a higher interest than what the Federal reserve sets for loans. That used to be their moneymaker. Free Checking has become a thing of the past. Even with debit cards the banks receive .074% for debit card usage for credit cards it can be as high as 3.5% per transaction. The way they made their money was on loans, and why it's so hard to get a loan for some people, because of the risk involved.
they make most of their money on the private side securitizing promissory notes. Very little risk for banks these days. They are immediately paid.

Although the government could appoint the board that makes the decisions that the government wants them to make.
"perfect" world maybe but it's the banks who are really running things.

Let me correct myself. The 12 federal reserve banks within the federal reserve system are all private banks. The Government appoints a board that overseas everything and reports back, but the board does not need any approval from the government in their decision making.

Private banks don't control minimum interest rates, that is also done by the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve is a private bank.

Many banks used to have free banking, but that has changed. They would sell you checks, but you could get cheaper checks ordering them from a check service company.
Let me ask you a question. When you really think about it, do you think charging fees and minimum balances are enough to sustain banks? I'll say this, your signature is worth a lot of money but I'm not sure any of you are ready for that rabbit trail.

if Powell doesn’t do what is necessary then you know he is in the tank for Biden’s re-election….which we already know he is anyway
no choice huh? The fed has no loyalty to any party. Funny how a private bank controls interest rates, but I'm sure they would have avoided this if it were possible years ago
P.S. Just want to throw a little more gas on the fire. The U.S. is a corporation also.

If you look at race, you're a racist.....

See, I think racism exists. But actual, real racism. I'm VERY skeptical (especially nowadays) about what many in the media and in the Democratic party deem "systemic racism" or "institutional racism". I don't believe, like a lot of people seem to, that everything is racist. I mean, we've had people say math, classical music, keeping an organized pantry, a schedule, and many, many more things is racist.
From what I understand, there are people who believe that if you're white and date outside your own race that you're racist, AND if you don't date outside your own race you're also racist. Explain that one.
I also believe ANY race can be racist.
I tend to be more critical of individual racist experiences. I'm quick to say something isn't racist and sometimes I receive backlash from it but I couldn't care less. As for your question, I can't explain that one. Especially about dating outside your race makes you racist. I do believe you can date outside your race and still be a racist

But let me present you with the converse: How many times are black people not believed or called "Uncle Tom" or a traitor to their race for saying they support Trump or that they're Republican?
It's true in some cases and not in others. Some act as if certain issues don't exist. Some of these people really fake the funk for popularity and money.

Just an observation, but ever notice how thousands of black people can say something and it's not believed, but a few black people can say something and it's believed instantly?

I worked with a black guy named Thomas, and a mixed race guy named Lewis. I went to high School with a black guy named Robert and another named Reggie.
What was your point again?

ctown81 you need to accept your racism and get on a knee and wash the feet of a person named Tyrone of the white persuasion….
I stand corrected according to the 2010 census. Well at least with newborns. Where the hell are all of all of the white tyrones. I've gone down a hold rabbit trail

Several persons of the white race are named Tyrone Jenkins….how racist of you to co-opt that name for only black persons
So the same thing I said to the other guy. If one million dollars was on the line and you heard that name, you would guess white?

The racist determine what a black name is and what a white name is then say everyone else is racist. Go figure
So you mean to tell that if you heard the name Tyrone Jenkins, you would bet a million dollars on that person being white?

Politicians conflate income and wealth all the time. On purpose. Wealth is generally not liquid.
I agree with that.

no. wealth and income have their value. I'm not understanding what you're getting at.

Nope and I take it that 81k is all he gets from Amazon?

Wait... do you think that's all he makes? Just trying to confirm before I answer.
You won't believe it, but MSNBC is mad that only 6% of MLB players are black

When I coached baseball in Dallas isd, the MLB used to hold a ton of clinics to try to tap the inner city talent pool but at the end of the day, a lot of people think it's boring when they try to watch it. therefore, they don't care to try it but fail to realize how fun it is to play.
