Chase: $7.5 bil. in home loans past 6 years 1.9% to blacks


CHICAGO PROTESTS
Chicago Activist Ja’Mal Green Calls for Change at Chase Bank, Warns of ‘Pop-Up Protests’

The group alleges lenders in Chicago have invested more in a single white neighborhood than all the black neighborhoods combined

Snip—

The group called out Chase Bank and President Donald Trump, saying disproportionate lending and changes to the Community Reinvestment Act have "horribly impacted communities of color."

They allege lenders in Chicago have invested more in a single white neighborhood than all the black neighborhoods combined. The claim was first published by WBEZ on June 3, which reported Chase handed out $7.5 billion in home loans over a six-year period, but only 1.9% went to Chicago's black neighborhoods.


"Today we're saying to all those that are customers or depositors of Chase that we are fighting back and the time is now," Green said Monday as he announced plans for the protests. The coalition warned that "protests will continue unless Chase gives $1 billion in grants and $10 billion in loans." "We must now act for a form of reparations to make good," Green said.

In a statement, Chase detailed the measures the bank says it has taken in response to the claims.

The way he sees it, if he has to put up with Jabba-the-Don porking Ivanka every now and then - then he's entitled to red-line, launder, racketeer, and whatever the hell else he does.

That is about owning new property,
but more so, African Americans were disproportionately dispossessed of their generational homes and lands through the legal machinations about Heirs Property ,Torrens Acts ...etc. Google it, it is quite shocking and sad.

The physical and economic violence the white majority has imparted on the minorities of this country is horrendous.
