Is that money coming from the executives at the bank or are they just good Democrats handing out other people’s money?

Bank of America was my bank until about 5 minutes ago :-)

It’s a pain transferring all the bills and everything but they are done. I cannot use them.

In fact I want to throw up.

no mention of how many blacks kill each other each year. No mention of the fact that there are no fathers anywhere. I know firsthand believe me. They live like you wouldn’t believe, in the projects and shelters

I date a girl on and off who lives in the projects. Great adventure day last year was ALL women and children. because there was not one man attached to any of the women or children.

and I am not popular because I say what I believe in front of those who don’t want to hear it.

That’s okay.

Bank of America throwing bad money after bed.

They are dead to me

Bank of America is an Equal Opportunity predator, when dealing with the races.

No doubt this will be just as impactful as their loan modification program was during the financial meltdown.

That sure makes Dr. Evil’s pledge look skimpy.

Will Bank of America’s donation go to the families of the 900 whites murdered by blacks per year, or to the families of the 500 blacks murdered by whites per year?

The insanity continues.
Throwing money at problems do not solve them.
