Trusted to treat them fairly?  The other 100's of banks don't treat them fairly?  Give me a break...  it seems like most blacks do more discrimination against themselves.  Do they have all black employees?  If they do I'm going to apply and then sue them for racism, then they won't have their own bank anymore because it will be my personal bank.

Racism is too easy an answer, although it may be the case some of the time.  More likely, due to historical racism and many other factors, black men in the south generally do not have as good a credit rating, do not have as good personal or business references, and are not a part of the "old boy" (i.e., old white boy) network.  That's not the same as current racism, and I would bet that there are banks and other lenders that are smart enough to actively seek out black business, in order to expand their customer range.  After all, there are getting to be more well-educated, highly skilled blacks in the middle class and above in America, probably including Louisiana.  They have good jobs and want to keep them, and are at least as respectible and ambitious as their white counterparts.  More, often, because they are responding to quite a few years of affirmative action, emphasis on education, and the influence of leaders like MLK to have self-respect and pride in their heritage; all to the good for their economic well-being.  Then, too, there are probably at least a few good black-run banks and credit unions in every state, even in Louisiana.

Yes it will.  The business structure must be set up as owned by a minority.  It really doesn't matter where the funding comes from or who cosigns the loan.

It doesn't look like they have one.  Not all small i-banks have them, especially if they're just a boutique firm.  Call them up if you want more information about them.

Despite the best efforts of the civil rights administration you are still going to run into idiots like Dan! and uck_me_say. There is little you can do without proof. I know what you mean as I was once a computer analyst. I wrote an entire ATM system for a bank back in the 80's and was solely responsible for the successful implementation of the system. With these credentials and more = including published articles on my field in leading industry magazines I didn't get hired for this one bank. From the guys energy I knew he was not about to hire any person of color. \n\nI just hung in there and I got hired at some place else. Later that same moron regretted he didn't hire me when the bank that did hire acquired his bank and I became his boss. \n\nLook at it this way. God is going to take care of you and God is bigger than bigotry. Look for your opportunities as coming from God. The door is open in front of you if you just keep knocking. It is tough for people of all colors right now.\n\nPay no attention to the venom in the other answers. Hatred is its own condemnation.
