Scenario: You come to America from Russia in 1980 to escape the evils of communism with nothing but a suitcase of clothes and $5. You use your talent for mathematics to study accountancy and start up a humble investment bank in which to ply your services to local businesses in the Queens, Harlem and Brooklyn areas. Thanks to the economic policies of Ronald Reagan and your own hard work your business expands significantly. It is now 2007, New York is no longer a crime ridden stankhole and many of the people living in Queens, Harlem and Brooklyn are a lot richer thanks to your contribution to businesses in the area. However your business of 100 employees only employs 18-50 year old muscular hetereosexual highly educated protestant 100% white males. You need a new employee and only 2 candidates show up.

Candidate 1 is a 23 year old muscular hetereosexual highly educated protestant 100% white male who attended harvard business school and has a doctorate in economics.

Candidate 2 is some black guy off the streets who dropped out of high school and is on parole for "riding dirty".

The new employee is vital to your business, you could lose millions and local business in the Queens, Harlem and Brooklyn areas would suffer significantly from the reduction in economic efficiency if you make a bad decision causing a lot of people in these areas to become a lot poorer and unhappy.

Whom do you select?

#1, you lost me at "nothing but a suitcase of clothes and $5" and "humble investment bank".  Does not computer.  Starting a bank takes significant capital ... so that means if he started at $5 in 1980, he was only committing crimes to scrape up all the money to start the bank.  OR, he had to obtain capital from others, which means they had controlling interest, and so we're back to scumbag Capitalists who care for nothing but profits.

Sorry, but the story failed it from the beginning.  The truth is that nearly every bank is filled with lawbreaking wankers who use their wealth to not only strongarm others, but to also avoid prosecution (even investigation) for their illegal activities.  America is now a land that loves white-collar crime.  You're just another one of the dupes who lets that farce continue.

Eat a flaming dick.

P.S.  Here's another scenario.  Your bank is yet again on the federal shitlist for redlining.  You need a representative to meet with leading Black and Hispanic leaders to explain why you redlined, why you signed the Memorandum of Understanding for how you'll not do it again, and what your new $50M commercial loan initiative in Queens, Harlem and Brooklyn is going to do for the poor Blacks and Hispanics in those areas.  You have Mr. Whitebread and Mr. Blackface as candidates for that new position at the bank -- so whom do you choose?
