100+ million ethnic/racial “Minorities” in the United States, and we’re supposed to jump for joy over $9 billion that Black Americans will likely benefit very little from (if at all)?
After UKKKraine got $40 billion and counting at the snap of a finger? Interesting.
Let me break it down and end this whole thread.
According to the website it clearly states “up to” $9 billion dollars will be allocated. So not even the whole $9 billion is guaranteed to be allocated.
“Under the program, Treasury will provide
up to $9 billion in capital directly to depository institutions that are
certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) or minority depository institutions (MDIs) to, among other things, provide loans, grants, and forbearance for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and consumers, especially in low-income and underserved communities, that may be disproportionately impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Treasury will set aside $2 billion for CDFIs and MDIs with less than $500 million in assets and an additional $2 billion for CDFIs and MDIs with less than $2 billion in assets.”
CDFI’s: Community development financial institutions. This has absolutely nothing to do with black people or even minorities. This applies to every Bank that applies and meets the guidelines for certification.
MDIs: Minority depository institutions. Keyword minority. These are banks where majority of the assets (deposits) are minority owned.
Here is a list of MDIs:

If you read the link, out of 144 of these banks, only 19 are majority black MDIs.
TLDR: So in other words out of $9 billion in funds, at least half of that will go to everyone if they decide to allocate the whole $9 billion. If $4.5billion goes to minority banks, only 13% (by percentage) will go to majority black banks which is $500 million.
Biden administration and Democrats in general LOVE giving black people these types of lip service programs and acting like they did black people a favor. Programs like these is why the racial wealth gap never decreases. They give a black person a dollar and then give a white person 2 dollars and then say “we just gave a Black person a dollar!” And shills like the people in this very thread eat it up.
