Black crimes in America are caused solely by the actions of black people. The previous statement is said throughout both rural and urban American, and it is based off of uneducated and racist ideologies. The criminal actions of blacks are partly contributed to their own decision making, though the same holds true for criminals of all races. However, black people in America have the longest lasting and most destructive history of racism towards them in modern American history, and this has led them to be the most poverty stricken race in America.
The bank at some point received negative attention for issuing credit to arms companies, including companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Textron, Colbun, BAE Systems and EADS.

Diaz’s mother was enraged by the event “she cursed the neighborhood, she cursed the country, she cursed [his] father, and of course, she cursed [the] kids,” assuming that one of Diaz’s friends or his siblings’ friends had something to do with it (Diaz 3). Diaz suspected one of his friends and he was right. So, he then took it into his own hands and went to steal the money back. Once Diaz retrieved the money, he
History is not expounded on in the Wall Street industry. Brokers are remembered simply on their sales or their big portfolios. The trials of how African American owned firms were founded and the triumphs and accomplishments that were made afterwards was written in an interesting narrative way by the author , Gregory S. Bell in In the Black: A African American History of Wall Street. Bell being the son of one of the first African American black owned member firm in the New York Stock Exchange, he emphasizes on the background stories of the works of the firms and entrepreneurs of the 20th century. In the book he gives references to validate his stories and research. His intent is shown throughout the book to persuade the readers to commemorate and recognize the history of African Americans on Wall Street.Being that Bell was born into the industry he obviously had some insight of the history of the African American pioneers of Wall Street. His research was supported by magazines, newspapers, personal interviews, personal stories and reference books. During the book he often had the argument of the reasoning that Wall Street was not succesful for African Americans due to the "good old boy" Caucasian system that was used for keeping African Americans out of the industry. Based on his findings in research and personal stories from his father I can agree with that partially. Sometimes during those times the industry was not doing so well. When the market was doing well the firms

Reparations are defined as the making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged. Black communities all across America are owed reparations. Not only for the ancestors of the enslaved, but for most black individuals everywhere, because they're all feeling the repercussions of slavery, years of separate but equal acts, Jim Crow laws, police brutality, and the rise of white supremacists and hate groups. The successful black individuals have had to work ten times harder to get to their position in life than anyone else would have had to. They’ve had to overcome greater obstacles, endure harsher punishments, and deal with racist stereotypes for hundreds of years. The black community has been playing catch up for their whole existence in America.

Greenwood, Oklahoma, a suburb of Tulsa, was the type of community that African Americans are still, today, attempting to reclaim and rebuild. Black Wall Street was modern, majestic, sophisticated and unapologetically Black.

Fifteen young, black businessmen entered the black-owned Industrial Bank with the intent of opening accounts.

The above quote has been attributed to everyone from Jesus of Nazareth to Tyler Perry; however, the first time I heard it was from a Jewish business man named David, who was teaching me the principles of business and life. What he was explaining to me was the simple truth that those who don’t acquire wealth will always be at the mercy of those who do. He was addressing my proclivity to take on the position of a renegade in dealing with many of the status quos of business. He told me that my rebel spirit would serve me well, but only if I was able to obtain the gold.

Criminals obtain the money from their illicit activities such as drug trafficking, fraud, etc. From that point forward, three stages are to happen in order for the crime of money laundering to be committed. The first stage is placement. Placement means the cash is deposited into banks.
