Is OneUnited Bank Really Black Owned…and Other Important Questions! (Q&A Series) | America's Largest Black Owned Bank - OneUnited Bank

#3. Will #BankBlack improve the Black wealth gap?

Yes! OneUnited Bank encourages everyone to not only move your money, but to also move your mind to do more business with Black owned businesses. So…to not only #BankBlack, but also #BuyBlack. Black owned banks are more likely to lend to Black people and Black owned businesses are more likely to hire Black people, have offices and provide services in Black communities. By circulating more dollars in the Black community and practicing collective economics, we can build wealth.

when will this sentence have an obligatory tone, with expectations from both business owners and consumers to view such efforts as being mandatory, in order for any company to use the #bankingblack #buyingblack and any variants?
