How is this not discriminatory? Bank of America has allocated $22 million in grants to help business owners of color. Whites need not apply.

(Whenever I question whether something is racist, I switch white for black. Clearly, a large, secular public corporation allocating “free money” for whites only would be raked over the rails. So too if they said free money available for Christian-owned businesses, and Jews need not apply.)

That would be discrimination based on race...not racism itself.

Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. That used to be the definition unless the woke crowd has redefined it.

The answer is yes it's legal. Feel free to start your own fund targeting Jews only.

That's what white supremacy is being replaced with. Pro black racism.

All this promotion based on race is suspect as a diversion/division. I denounced boa years ago. How a business can discriminate based on race and get away with it is beyond me. I thought there were laws against such practice. If a crummy backwater mom and pop in nowhere alabama had such conditions appealing to 'whites' it would be the headlines all week and referenced through the next election with every (R) required to denounce the practice.

So it's ok for "Black only" programs but it's discrimination and illegal for any other race ?

It’s legal for give grants based on race?

What if BoA starts giving out loans to white people only?

Judaism - Religion, not a race.
White - Race, see the difference?

It’s not legal.

Make a fund that only targets whites and see how fast that gets shut down.

Oh wait, we already tried that, it was called Jim Crow started by Demcorats.
