However you do get some ol skool pimped out mack daddies and mammas that gotta look good in da clothes... Even "Snowflake" hasta look gwood... 
Whereas, not too many of those folks be thinkin' 'bout opening up a savings account at BofA...
I mean, BofA doesn't launder low amounts of ca$h--in the 6 figure range... Oh HAYLE YEAH, they will do it if it is in the 8 figure range--the high 8 figures... But they call those "global high cap growth dividend funds" with your own seat at the NYSE...

I agree with your first paragraph.
Regarding the remainder of your post, you should be careful when making such comments because many people on this board will take your post as the gospel. They will not realize that not having a savings account, etc. is directly related to what you mentioned in your first paragraph. Therefore, they will be quick to use "mack daddy" as an excuse to think negatively of the poor and particularly poor blacks.
