  1. This is an idiotic article. Banks and their employees have performance goals. Trust me, no one cares about the color of skin. Ironic that Wells is mentioned as an offender. Guess the graffiti vandals missed the huge blowup and record level of fine Wells paid for forcing open new accounts. This article is just about a bunch of racists that want free stuff. Do better IBJ.

  2. I know of two people who got screwed over by Wells Fargo because they were black. This article is 100% true. Banks have red lied for decades. True, banks care about green—but they don’t like black. You can bank on that.
