A whole 26,000 a year, that they thought was exorbitant. Mm.

Thanx for the info about Check-cashimg Policy placement but I was responding to NEDD’s inference about the corporate intent based on their statement.

“I feel like there’s a piece of information missing from this story on the bank’s end.”

Driver’s license and veteran’s card. The only reason why I have two forms of ID on me. With that said, something tells me that he brought it because he’s been harassed before by racist tellers.

Whew, I'm glad they handcuffed him. I mean, how scary is a man who goes into a bank, no mask, hands the teller a check, two forms of ID and asks to cash it? I hope those tellers get some good therapy for the hell they had to endure. I mean, he could have asked for a receipt! You ever had a paper cut? Yeah, THAT…

You’re joking, right? You’re gleaning the intent of the teller and her supervisor based on the official response statement of the corporate PR dept?

There IS more to the story. Let’s start with slavery and genocide and proceed from there. People will twist reality into something delusional to maintain the innocence of everyday whiteness.

I did a ctrl+f for “fired” and couldn’t find it. Why would the article hide the fact that the teller was fired. Because, of course, the teller was fired. Right? Of course. Maybe that’s just understood. The teller had to have been fired. Yep, I’m just going to assume that so I won’t punch my computer screen. Again.

If you go to the link in the article, they play a portion of the 911 call from the bank. The person calling specifically states that the check is fraudulent. No proof of fraud, mind you. But I guess you get the police there quicker if you make up some bullshit instead of, “Well, we have two forms of I.D. and his…

Not just the bank. He needs to sue the city’s overzealous police force as well. Why was “cuffing and stuffing” him necessary prior to verifying the attempted transaction was illegitimate? The bank had him on camera and, most likely, his residential address on at least one of his ID’s, so if the check was fake they…

Most likely not. How many times has The Root exposed blatant racism like this? Wypipo ALWAYS claim there's gotta be more to the story and seldom is there. America is racist. Wake up.

The linked article says he works for an electric company, and in the quote they mention a payroll service. Dollars to donuts that check was from ADP like every other person’s fucking paycheck is from ADP. 

In additional to the asshats at the bank, this kind of shit gets in the heads of employers, especially with a new employee.

Let’s pause here to examine what happened because there undoubtedly is a white person reading this who wants to say: “I don’t get how this is racist.”

Huntington Bank can fuck all the way off with their “apology”.

Ionno how it is in Cleveland, and I joined Los Angeles Federal Credit Union, and it’s perfect. I’ve had nothing but bad from B of A, Wells Fargo, Comerica, and probably some more. Wells Fargo fucked up, bc they didn’t know my buddy’s daughter’s mother was a branch manager, she cleared up a bunch of fraudulent fees and…

Fire is hot, water is wet and police is for White people.

The check looked sketchy alright; it was in the hand of a Black man. 

while reading this the whole time im thinking the check must have been at 5 digits and the man is an accountant or something and got his holiday bonus (would not have justified their actions im just telling you what I was thinking) then get to bottom for 1000 !! 

If a black person doesn’t play the master’s stereotypical black character...the master then tries to push him into his slave character anyway so the slave doesn’t forget who’s the boss.
