I been at the same Wachovia Bank for 30 years.

In July when it becomes a Wells Fargo, I must bring ID just to make a deposit.

"In July when it becomes a Wells Fargo, I must bring ID just to make a deposit."

Make a controlled experiment: Get some friends of various ethnic groups to go to the bank to make deposits and say they don't have IDs. Document which deposits are accepted and which are refused.

I understand that. When I opened another account at Sun Trust in Plant City, even though thy knew me personally, I had to show i.d. and give my life history. Mexico has voter i.d. cards. They have your picture, description,and fingerprint. I know because I found one.

“Racist” has always worked in the past, so they keep using it.

It’s much better than having to defend why you don’t want to make sure every vote cast is valid, or to admit that the ‘rat’s margin of victory is often the margin of fraud.

I work in a bank. Trust me, even people on SSDI have ID...this is a ridiculous accusation. The only people who occasionally don’t are the very old, who, no longer driving, haven’t renewed their license or state ID. And yes, I have had to refuse to help them if nobody in the branch can affirm their identity.

I take cash deposits without ID, or account numbers.

“Honest, officer, this man just walked up to me and said, “Here, take this”. I don’t know who it was or who to return it to!”

Some people on FR suggest that pointing out that 40+% of all crimes committed in the USA are committed by Blacks is racist.

Some facts are demeaning....Blacks are 12.9% of the population but committ 40+% of crimes is demeaning and probably why many don't want to be identified.

47% of the residents of Detroit and New Orleans cannot read or write. Is this demeaning?

Don’t most whites who are working for agencies look down on blacks who got affirmative action jobs and arent affirmative action jobs demeaning?

How many have worked in Government jobs and seen blacks promoted who got promoted merely because they needed blacks in supervisory positions?

Isn’t it demeaning that the thought can arise whether it is true or not,because of the system and how it has happened before?

Does anyone really believe that Obama wasn’t an affirmative action election and got elected because blacks thought it was their time and white guilt said the same?

His qualifications speak for themselves.

“Do most of those on the left really think less of black Americans?”

A resounding “YES” to that question. The left, black and white, treats blacks as children: they need to be told whom to vote for, need to be told what’s good for them, need to be coaxed to good behavior by being given things, are not expected to excel in any capacity beyond sports, are provided myriad excuses for every personal failing. When will black Americans wake up to these facts?

CitiBank did the stupid rule thing to me.
My sister-in-law asked me to deposit her paycheck for her, because she had to go to a doctor’s appointment. IT was a deposit only, no money back.
I got to CitiBank and CitiBank refused to accept the deposit because I didn’t have an account with them.
She had to take vacation time the next day to deposit her check so that her check to the mortgage company wouldn’t bounce. The following week, she moved all of her accounts to a different bank.

The accusation of “racism” goes hand in hand with Political Correctness, the silencing of truth telling with the goal of “Cultural Marxism”, the original name for PC.

Then the IDIOT REPORTER will ask the pitcher - did Smith hitting that grand slam in the 2nd inning have an effect on you?

“They” must be a lot smarter than given credit for.

It actually ‘hurts my eyes’ to type out a line like that first one.

I don’t know what part of the country you are in, but in South Georgia it is much more common for them not to have ID. I have been called every name in the book (plus a few that I didn’t even know! and believe me I know a lot) for asking for ID. We require 2 forms of ID (only 1 of which must have a picture and no you can’t use your SSN or your Birth certificate or your credit card or the ID you got from the club or the liquor store!) to rent a PO box, and a valid ID to cash a money order. When I worked for the electric company you had to have an ID to get service and over half the people who drove up claimed not to have a driver’s license! Everyone has a street name and that is all that matters. One of my customers slipped up and told me that they have a name for me. I guess I gave her a look of complete disbelief because she told me what it was and assured me that it was a compliment. LOL

That's beyond silly. Don't they still accept night deposits? What if you just went outside, stuck the check and a deposit slip in an envelope and dropped it in the slot?

These days, it seems that every attempt to ensure that the law is observed/followed/enforced is decried as racist.

Does it follow from this that certain races are lawless?
