Apple is not taking its foot off the gas as they continue to release new content for its new streaming service, TV+. Yesterday, they released the trailer for its new movie The Banker, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Mackie, and Nia Long.

The Banker is based on a true story of Bernard Garr (Mackie) and Joe Morris (Jackson) who are entrepreneurs who team up on a plan to create a real estate and finance empire back in the 50’s and 60’s with the intent to help other African Americans live their dream.

The Banker will have a limited theater run starting on December 6th and then will be available to be streamed in January.

Check out the trailer below.

Can't wait for this. Love to see black people tricking and beating the system. These dudes use the divine and conquer technique perfectly. More of us need to use this technique on them. They always use it on us now it's time to reverse the roles and use it on them to defeat them

‘The Banker’: Apple TV+ Delays Release of Film Marred by Serious Accusations

I'm disgusted. Whites being Whites. They are practicing (like always) White Supremacy/Racism.

And apparently - his Step-sister is claiming he molested her and others. I understand that -- and I empathize.

But, that doesn't have anything to do with this man's professional legacy.
