My father always told me, "Fighting with someone standing in your way is time taken away from your intent. Step around him and go about your business." I've always taken that to heart. Haters waste your time as well as theirs.
I'm African American. I was trying to buy an office building and I asked for a commercial loan at a bank. They never replied to my request, although I went to their office, provided them the business plan for the building. A few months later, another bank approved me for a commercial loan. As I was trying to close, the bank that refused me the loan signed a 5 year lease for a space in the building I was purchasing. The negotiations started with the previous owner's leasing agent. But, I had to provide the approvals, as it was during the due diligence period, as I was taking over the building. Once the bank heard that a new owner of the building was about to take over, they send one of their sales agent to meet the future buyer (me), trying to offer me the commercial loan they refused me a few months earlier. I spoked to the salesperson, but declined their loan. A few months later, they were the tenant in my building ...
This same thing happened to a South Carolina real-estate investor 2 years ago. The police handcuffed him and held him for 3 hours. He owned the properties, got roughed up, sued and won $300,000. Smh, this still exists TODAY!
It also shows how much of a difference a good person can make in a certain outcome. Matt's decision to contact Bernard ahead of the Senate hearing made the difference that allowed for a kind of positive ending despite the setback in Bernard's plans. If Matt was a different type of person that backstabs at the earliest sign of trouble, the situation could have been different. We all face decisions in life and sometimes it tests our moral character. Even in the face of difficulty, choosing to do the right thing is always available.
bruh matt fucked them over hard they had no choice but to go along with buying another bank, and matt was not ready and let his racist wife give him a big ego he didnt earn...i knew as soon as they introduced her to him shit was gonna go sideways...always does when women are involved.
A lot of success stories, and people who are trying to sell success as a product, have those kinds of steps throughout the process of becoming successful. When you hear all the accurate details, which is often a rarity, it shows that a fortunate opportunity is almost always a major step that facilitated a lot of other things that led to becoming successful. Yes hard work has to be non-ending. But whether you call it luck or an opportunity that presents itself, they play a major role. But people are hesitant to admit that because I really think they don't like their story sounding not as impressive if they admit that it really wasn't just hard work.
@@queenredfromthequeencityHe told bernard about the senator’s deal and bernard said he should take it but to do him a favor before the government takes away their assets, this movie review is missing details
Never seen a channel recap a movie so empathetically while preaching the moral of the story at the same time and touching the subject of racism with so much sensitivity. New fan👋🏾
This is an eye opening movie with a beautiful story. With a great attitude and a smart mind, you can overcome any obstacle. Even when the whole world is against you.
There is a story similar to this from India. Jamshedji Tata was inspired to build a hotel after he was refused entry at one of the grandest hotels of British time - Watson’s Hotel - which was restricted to ‘whites only. Jamsetji Tata took this as an insult to all Indians and then decided that he would build a hotel where not only Indians but foreigners could also stay without any restrictions. And that's how India's first super-luxury hotel, Taj Mahal Palace, came into being. This same man and his family has built up TATA group that's over $300 billion today.
One of the good things of this movie is that it's based on a real story, So Bernard, Joe and Matt really existed. It's inspiring seeing their actions, specially Bernard, on overcoming obstacles like those. Excellent movie
@ Joao Albuquererque: Just another movie bashing Whites from several generations ago; however, if you were paying attention you'd realize it took the backing of White business man to make Bernard a success. America in the 50's was a completely different society, with completely different societal norms than it is today. So just keep on bashing Whites from a different time period to keep the hate fires going today.
And that other white old guy that admired bernard. Yk hes not a bad person, just pressured by the societal bs he's lived and adapted to all his live. But deep down, he knows whats right.
Key words “based on a true story” which is the film business equivalent of beverages that are “juice” but contain only 10% actual fruit products. It is a great movie though it was a nightmare filming. Cast were all super cool especially Mackie.
This was a great movie. My grandfather(my dad's dad) was in WWII. He left the army and tried to get a VA loan and then a conventional bank loan to start a refrigeration business. Got turned down both times. My grandparents saved up $200 to start the business themselves. My grandfather got contracts for commercial refrigeration because of his last name. And a few folks thought he was just the foreman/lead guy and not the owner. It helped that my grandfather had a white sounding name. My grandmother said he would say 'if I do a great job, my color won't matter.' He was successful in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles in his(their, my grandmother helped) way. Seemingly we are better but until this kind of thinking is eradicated, the promise of this country will never be realized.
This is an example of a TRUE STORY in the UCLA community. A Young Basketball Player named initially LOU ALCINDOR. Later named Kareem Abdul Jabbar. There was an investigation of housing discrimination near the campus. A Landlord told a couple of African American students the "apartment they were interested in had been RENTED. Later that day a white couple came to see about the apt. and was told it was available. To make a long story short KAREEM bought the building and FIRED THE MANAGER.
Just to see how much discrimination people have gone through is really hard to see and overwhelmingly crazy that someone can still be so kind and patient through his approach to such disrespectful people
Whats sad is people today only care about past American racism. They refuse to call out other racism around the world. We care so much about past crimes we refuse to look at how we've progressed and refuse to acknowledge how good we all have it today
@@rileyfair5 Past American racism? Joke of the year. You definitely are republican. Always trying to deny the current racism going on massively trying to make it look like there is no longer racism in America, while white supremacy is still a raging cancer in this country. If you have breast cancer and it already metastasizes in both of your lungs, your liver, your ovary or prostate, and your colon. You cut off your breast and got rid of the original cancer. Is that going to set you cancer free?
@@rileyfair5 Man, the United States didn't progress they killed Dr King and right after they imprisoned and killed the Panthers who started the Rainbow Coalition. Policies were finally granted so we couldn't be taken advantage of without some kind of punishment. So what's changed?
I am a Irish man and think it is sad that people are so cruel i believe it doesn't matter what colour your skin is we are all the same people we should love each other not hate.
@@motsepethompson1118 who cares what color they are it's what they do with what they have & make it work.. and it really doesn't matter if the person's black white yellow purple green whatever if they have the will there's a way.. and someone's comment for saying I'll bet your white or I assume you're white that doesn't matter an opinion is an opinion...
This gotta be one of the most inspirational movies ever made. The story is amazing. Overcoming obstacles; I remember my brother told me, "With great risk comes great rewards."
What I admire about Bernard is that...with all the struggles and the odds against him; he never gave up and is always finding a way out of every sticky situation that confronts him because he was always one step ahead most of the times..
It’s just 7 days and the outbreaks are well treated and unseen. Thank you so much #Autism #Cancer #Herpes for curing my HSV 1&2 completely. 🌱th-cam.com/channels/_YFEEZEr1BxGkNg1d4vqww.html 💙💗
In the end, Bernard came to ruin because he committed Fraud to cover up violating Banking Laws... it seems this is justified in the movie and glossed over if not glorified...
@@mr3817 I don't condone criminality, but in this case Bernard ended up as the bad guy although everyone benefited from all the spoils. Sometimes things may not look right or might not be the right thing to do. ..but when you believe in yourself and know that because of the colour of your skin you are being deprived of your rights; treated poorly as though you don't belong; then you will do anything to prove to your oppressors that you too should have a piece of the cake. I don't know if I am making sense; but in this case I emphatize with Bernard because he worked very hard to succeed and it was pulled from under his feet just like that; even though he acted against the law; his so called friends knew that some of the things they did were wrong in a sense ...still, they should not have abandoned him. Many of them went along with his brilliant ideas and benefited from it. Traiters they are.
Wisdom is one thing i truly admire from the main character in this story. Wisdom is what makes a human at higher place than others. Although he faces the real problem -- aka racism -- but he still can think rationally with carefully counted steps. I admire this movie just like The Butler and Hidden Figures. Wisdom can be found everywhere -- no matter what colours a person has. God bless them all 🤩👍🏻 i stand for all high quality personalities these persons have. Salute 😎❤️
@Phallus Erectus because wisdom is the main purpose God creates us human. What differ great person from the rest is wisdom. Wisdom knows no colour. All humanbeing can be wise -- the highest purpose the human can achieve. Great person is the one who can leave great legacy to others after they died
That this movie is based on a real story, really makes me aprichate the 'Old Owner' person. What a man that he was willing to work together with a black man in that Era.
There were more of those kind of whites than meets the eye back then. They were just hamstrung by the system that was run by white racists and a lot of family members that were racist themselves.
It's incredibly stupid to hate someone just because they look a certain way. I judge people by their actions. I'm a Sci-Fi fan, it's great at teaching you, that someone can look very different from you, and still be very good, and honorable, someone you can have a great deal of respect for.
That's a huge simplification of racism. It's not just the way they look that certain people hate. Maybe at the beginning it was appearance based discrimination, but people justified their hatred with things like inferior intellect and genetic predisposition to laziness. It made it easier for them to be racist Edit: grammar
@Chomky Squirrel Everyone uses Generalisations, or Stereotypes for pretty much everything. You have to have a bases for how to react to whatever, and you get that knowledge usually through experience of some kind. There is a difference between that, and hating someone, just because of their race. There is no reset button on life, so everyone uses their past experiences to judge future matters. If everyone treated each other with kindness, and respect from today forward, we would see hate in people go way, way down. Also, keep in mind. It's movies that made aliens do experiments on people, and aliens always seem to be bad, there are rarely ever good encounters with aliens. So right now, everyone's experience with a alien is bad, and any future encounter with one will have people react badly to them. Because we made them fear them, before any proof that they exist.
As a fan I agree that sci-fi can and does teach this, but if I may add: I also know the science-fiction genre teaches these common biases and initial misjudgments from the basis of reality itself. Life teaches this first, but we can be blind to something so obvious until we view it from an outside perspective. Being aware of them is key to overcoming them and treating everyone with the love, dignity and respect we all deserve as children of God, made in His image and Likeness. This is only possible through constant self-examination and an ever deepening relationship with the Triune God, who is Truth and Love itself. ~ Peace.
One of my biggest inspiration... In this movie I learnt two things 1. Compounding interest ,what it is and what it does. 2. Certain battles are best avoided , realise the limitations of your wisdom or strength.
The last statement made wasn't the end. It's worth watching the movie to see how the main characters utilized the new laws they helped to institute to recover all the assets they had lost and more! This movie is so inspirational!
This explains why everyone in the world must treat others equally, kindly, fairly, nicely, rationally, and cooperative. Objectification and criticizing are uncalled!.
To openly discriminate on the basis of race is wildly, wildly illegal nowadays, and if somebody actually declined a man on the basis of the color of his skin a lawsuit would come straight up from hell itself (not to mention the social outrage). Of course, this assumes the man in question doesn't actually pose a risky loan customer, for even if credit score doesn't care about skin color, bankers won't loan out to bad credit, and the sad state of things today is it is statistically likely that a random person of African descent will not have a good credit.
Such delusion is disrespectful to the works of men like Bernard. Things are not perfect, but alleging that nothing has changed and the situation today is comparable to the way things were then is disingenuous. It's easy to think that way, when all we've been taught is that poc cannot possibly succeed in a white world, but it's a lie.
I definitely admire the level of courage, discipline, focus and detailed-oriented mentality that was displayed by the intelligent Bernard Garrett. Rational economics and maximum profit are the ultimate goals. Absolutely brilliant!
@Phallus Erectus Because they overcame a lot! On the other hand, they were almost completely destroyed and went to prison due to racism and for trying to do good!
The separation of people just because of the color of their skin..........is breaking my heart. This sort of thing should not exist in the first place. Damn. Didn't knew this comment would get this big and spark something to people. Also, Ignore the Phallus Erectus dumb in the comments. He just never experienced love and attention when he was a child.
@@jodianbeckford1312 Even if everyone has the same skin color, people would still find reason to separate themselves from others. Religion, wealth, country, race etc. It's not about the color of your skin. Kind of like how people will band together to fight an even bigger threat. Like races in countries against other countries. Humans against aliens. All kinds of examples. Well, I think it's about the mindset of us vs them. If you're part of "us" then we're buddies and "them" are the enemy, the target, the bad guys etc. There's good and bad to this trait as with all things. Think of that how you will. I would recommend being a free thinker. Forming your own opinions rather than just digest the group's opinion. I believe that is best. Anyways, have a good day.
@@respectedcow1490 Racism is baked into the very structure of of dialectical philosophy! People like you are a true reflection of that statement! Have a "lovely" day!
This film rates alongside, 'The Pursuit Of Happyness', & 'Hidden Figures' as absolute greats. As a white guy, I've never been able to comprehend (or reconcile) the issue of segregation as a life ethos - irrespective of skin colour; we are all muscle, bone & sinew beneath that external veneer. Mackie & L. Jackson were perfectly placed to demonstrate the inequalities (& exigencies) of life - particularly in that era - it's a phenomenal film; definitely one to watch. Thanks for the retrospective :)
Oh please. White guilt in you is just ridiculous. Racism is horrible. Black and white are just as racist to each other and every race for that matter. White people are just adventurous, inventors and explorers by nature and I am so proud of the hard work by my ancestors who also went through hard centuries and times. No guilt but pride in my race.
@@ausroboda4003 he's not referring to white guilt, and no every race is not equally racist. There is no genetic predisposition for white people to be more inventive or adventurous, unless you're conflating adventure with conquest and enslavement of other races and countries. "Adventurous" is a very generous term for conquering and genocide. There isn't much of a comparison in the US between black and white struggles. To claim you or I or white people as a whole had comparable struggles and discrimination as black Americans is absolutely laughable. I'd suggest you read up on some history like the Jim Crow era, segregation, and the refusal of banks to give black people home and business loans legally until the 80s. Look up redlining and what happened to affluent black neighborhoods like black wall street. There's an American precedent to destroy black success whenever possible. I used to be just like you, but history may change your mind.
It’s not white guilt… only the blind would see it as such. So many delusional people set in their pre-laid ways… I wish/hope the Best for all Good people.
I like this story. Uplifting. It's too late for me as I'm 83 and live in my van but it's something the younger generation should pay attention to. Great story 😊
Hi there Stevie...what a pity you should live in your van. I guess out there there is people with less. I live in Argentina, and would love to have u as my friend. I'm 63. I love old people. God bless u !!!!
@@ThePowerOfTheD or... Bernard wouldn't have been able to do what he did had the white man not helped him. So I agree that Bernard worked hard and did amazing things. But it was still at the mercy of a white man. Sometimes we see things like this and say all black people can simply do the same and racism can be overcome. And it's not 100% accurate.
@@dablackangel Bernard didn't depend upon the white man, he saw an opportunity and took it even with the significant obstacles for a blackman at that time. Today the black community has the obstacles of broken homes, gov dependency and environment. Still they are able to overcome. There are multiple blackmen and women who have come out of the hood who are successful or better themselves by not falling prey to those obstacles.
@@PatriceMorris. The movie seems to demonstrate that Bernard had a lot of common sense and was astute to glean information from his “ high dollar “ shoeshine clients. Absolutely amazing !
@@PatriceMorris. That is very wrong, the analytical methods n principles can still be taught thru books n ppl. Just watching this clip alone, u learnt vacancy rates of a building can be determined somewhat by lights on at night. What u r implying is more inclined towards a person's intellect.
I would never understand this. It makes me furious. It makes me cry. To think it was once this way. I am so proud of how far America has come. And how we have been an example to the rest of the world. I'm proud of the black men who work hard and thrive and show others that it can be done. Jackie Robinson is one of a kind, too. Thank you!
I cried while watching this because this show reminded me than "when theirs a problem in your way face it because it will come back except it will be much more bigger than it was the first time. " I told my self that everyday no matter what thank you .
After several set backs in my life and career as an immigrant to this country, I realized that we need to keep pushing to get to where we want to… the moment you’re about to give up is the moment of difference. “Keep pushing”… the journey just started
Great video! You know it's funny... a 17 minute recap which told me pretty much the whole plot made me WANT to watch a movie, whilst trailers which usually last 1 min and are very flashy don't work for me. Looks like a great movie. It's outrageous people still have to deal with racism. Subscribed.
@@acegalaxywrld This movie, "The Banker" was released right before the pandemic hit, and then was relegated to some no-name video hosting platforms. I love this movie - I'm in real estate, so it speaks to me.
Really depends if they deserve to be treated equally. Respect is earned, not given, and a lot of people today absolutely do not deserve to be treated the same as others.
@@stevenayare6097 It's pretty easy to judge someone. The way they carry themselves. Their body language. The way they talk. How they interact with others. You can create a basic profile within seconds of meeting someone. And there does come a point where risk vs reward comes into play. An example that I have personally dealt with in real life is if I hire a black man to work for me and he ends up being the worst employee I ever had, I fire him. I then hire another black man, similar attitude, similar demeanor, similar way of carrying himself, speaking, dress. He, too, was an awful employee and I fire him. I hire a third, a fourth, a fifth, all of them sharing these characteristics, all of them being awful employees. It's perfectly reasonable for me to say "you know what, I'm not going to hire these black men anymore". Now sure it's possible the sixth black man who comes in dressed like they were, body language like theirs, talking like they did, it's entirely possible he'd be the best employee I ever had. But is it worth it for me to take that risk? No, it's not. There's nothing wrong with this, this is nature, this is basic human, I can't mind-read, I can't know if someone's good, and life is not so luxurious that we're afforded the ability to sit down and intimately get to know every single person we meet. This is why generalizations exist. This is why deserving respect is important. This is why fixing yourself to fit societal norms is important. Because I have more important things in my life than you, so if you wanna ensure I give you enough time for you to earn my respect, you had best start off with a good cover.
@@War450 Relax I added "if' for a reason, but I guess you lack basic cognitive thinking. Sorry, I can't justify prejudice, I judge people by their character and see people for who they are. Oh, regarding your respect? I could not care less.
This was actually a true story, however, I believe modern day racism prevented this film from ever hitting the market because it would expose the racism of some present day banks, and the way they do business.
So I tried searching for this movie to watch and its sad to see that searching engines are not even displaying this movie. You have to search "the banker anthony mackie" for you to find this movie, and even then, its only on DVD and in a different region code than the US. You can tell a lot of effort went into suppressing this movie.
I was about to throw my phone if Matt really testified without a plan 😭 like they made you everything you are and you do that??? Glad he let Bernard know beforehand
Was glad to see in the end Matt didn't betray them, made what happened seem not as bad. Though it would have been nice if a new investigation could have started once the system was less corrupt with racism and they got some kind of justice.
Matt could’ve stabbed Bernard in the back and taken everything from him while understanding the advantage of his privilege as a white man but he didn’t. This shows you that Bernard knew what kind of people he trusted and associated with.
technically Matt stabbed both of those black men in the back (did you bother to watch the movie) .. AFTERWHICH Matt's guilty conscience kicked in. (therefore, Matt couldn't be trusted) ..
@@eyewatch2see77 That was by mistake when he used the lawyer Bernard’s enemy recommended. Matt at the end facilitated Bernard’s purchase of a home in the Bahamas.
@@eyewatch2see77 no he didnt. Did YOU watch the movie? he called Bernard and told him straight up he was going to testify against him, and Bernard shook his hand and understood that Bernard didn't want to go to jail and asked him to do him a favor before the trial. which was to buy the properties. How is that stabbing him in the back? don't use terms you don't understand, that term implies you blindside someone and just do a full 180 without their knowledge. telling someone you going to flip on them beforehand is actually respectful and shows intergrity. It's the same as telling someone you're not interested in them anymore vs just ghosting them. Both have same send goal but one is respectful the other isn't.
My native ex was so mean to me for being whiter then him even though I am also Metis thru my mom.. he would say horrible things and insult my skin a lot I felt bad in my own skin colour and wanted to be darker and he wold humiliate me and call me evil, my other more white cousins got bullied the most on the reserve too
US is built on racism, else why does US start so many wars since 1945 USA has fought and started over 60 wars and conflicts in almost every single country. and all of it is for money. if you aint white, you aint part of the group and hence are bombed, to speed up resource extraction.
People are mainly dudged by their social status today. If you are successfull and/or rich, no matter your skin color........you will be """"loved"""" by everybody.
This is so encouraging, it has really lifted up my spirit 🙏👏👏 may you continue to speak in people's lives, thanks alot for your life changing true stories
As black man I have spent my life by many of these examples. I was fortunate to walk a different path and too learned how to manage my money and play this financial game. I have decent investments and other securities for my future. Banks would love to deny me a loan. I can see it in their faces after running my credit score. My wife and I have maintained darn near perfect credit scores, we keep our finances in order and don't live beyond our means. I even have a perfect driving record LOL!!! Please don't take this as bragging. I've worked hard to maintain this and fully understand that others don't have it like that and that many of the opportunities I was able to come across they just don't have. But I only say the things I say above to show that you do in fact have to try and change your thinking early on to achieve your goals and dreams. Notice what they invested in? Real-estate and financial institutions. Not clothes, jewelry or cars. Those are depreciating assets. Real-estate etc. among a few other worthwhile endeavors can bring residual income. But do understand that while I have perfect credit and all that there are many in the world where none of that means a thing to them and you're just seen as another person of color that's beneath them.
My now deceased husband came to Canada from Jamaica "penniless" He worked on construction and saved his money... until he had a down payment for a 6-apartment bldg. He died at 72, a multi millionaire [barely had any schooling]
The time has come that the world must resolve the big blunder of British empire which is fetching blacks to the America. World should sent these ugly BBC back the forest of Africa.
Good for you! That is great! Be honest have you experienced alot of that in USA? Your successful and do not have victimhood mentality. I feel like some really want this to actually be true as it validates racial identity to them. I dont think it makes you more black to be discriminated against but those that struggle with identity may.
Instantly watched this movie and I loved every second of it. It showed the steps they had to take to improve something they truly believed in. People nowadays don’t even like to look back on what our parents and grand parents grew up in. They did something no one else would. Amazing movie 8/10
@@boltman1195 uh, maybe. It's kinda weird to watch a video that explains an entire movie to begin with but then to go and watch the same movie again is beyond insane. If that's your thing then go for it but it's fuckin weird.
This truly is an inspirational movie. Bernard fought to improve the lives of his fellow men. While he may not have brought the change Dr. King did, Bernard improved the housing market for black people in America.
This is another lesson in the ridiculousness of racism my people have dealt with for far too long. You can be the most brilliant person but there's still that barrier of racism to deal with.
Offense is better than defense. I genuinely believe that you guys are now in defense. Find a way to be the offenders. You can buy creating companies, taking most of the goverment seats and then do the racism on the whites.
It’s sad that I discovered this movie by accident thanks to RecapLovers. This is what we need to blow up, it just the usual action movies. This is real.
I know there are still hints of racism still, mostly in the old and dying generation, but im so glad things are not even close to being this bad anymore. Im so happy that I was raised in a generation (and by a family) that has never judged someone based on the color of their skin. (Update) Y'all should just give up. You will never convince me that a black man or woman is not allowed in a community because their black. Or that a black person cant run/use a bank. We are not in the dark ages people, get over yourself. Things are not even close to being this bad anymore. If what im saying makes you mad go start a riot and burn down some buisnesses that'll surely help your case.
Love the story of the film and the way Bernard overcame the discrimination he faced with a rational mind and saw his dreams to reality and fulfilling his promise to his wife for a better life.
There’s a very important part of this story that was glossed over, his family member. His family member provided HIS family with a roof over their heads and a place to sleep. Though not an ideal situation, his family member helped him the best way they could. The lesson that SHOULD be highlighted is one does not succeed alone. A strong foundation laid by family (or strong support system) can help ensure individual success. Granted he did all the tough work, but at least he didn’t have to start at the bottom of the barrel. Just don’t forget those that helped you along the way.
I am an Asian-American first generation and my real estate agent told me that the house was too big for me and gave to someone who has the same color. The discrimination in this land is more toxic than a nuke. That was not the only case, I was in a nursing program and I was purposely failed and one of the professors had admitted to me a few months later. All I can wish and hope is justice to everyone who have less prejudices like me.
@@shamara9696 She never said they were ALL! racist I swear, people like you are enablers for this kind of discrimination which make you just as bad in my opinion as the person doing it
What the hell does that even mean, you hyphenated product? "in this land". Talk about being a spoiled little immigrant! You're from effing Asia. Hell, all non-western (aka "white") are the most "racist" on the planet. So what do you mean "this land"?! Be thankful that you're even allowed to claim a place on someone else's homeland. That's unheard of! Only in "racist" white lands is this possible. Where I'm from you'd be run out of the country for talking like that. Wherever you're from originally, you'd be smacked in the head if you acted this disrespectful and assumed the worst of your fellow countrymen. Only in "racist" countries can people of your sort spout off like this and act so superior. Talk about buying in to the whole "noble savage" ideal white people have created for you. You are nothing but a product thought up by your superiors that you claim are your equals. Funny if it wasn't so pathetic!
@@pandoorloki1232 doesn't matter what is fictionalized and what isn't. The point is there are people who are discriminated against. Shut out and why? All because of because of skin.
@@nottodaylilbaldheadits always been a problem in the US because, people lean to heavily into putting value on skin colour, from whites to blacks to asians to Latin to arabic. Its part of US culture at this point.
Yeah, because even though the US is only 250 years old, they invented violence. And all other nations are safe, non violent utopias. If only the US would stop invading and annexing all these countries, the world would be so much safer. Thank God Swedens and Russia's military is always there to assist those other nations in defense, when they are invaded by US troops.
How wonderful they both were as young entrepreneurs, nothing stopped them moving forward, they covered every angle that brought them in so much financial success. Even right to the end, their partner apologised, and left them both with property in the Bahamas. Just goes to show, it doesn't matter what colour your skin is, when all parties get on anything can happen.
That's sounds nice. But think about all the good people they had to meet to help them. For every one success story, 100 fail doing the samething with the same attitude.

Little known fact about Bernard, between his childhood as a shine boy, and his business ventures, he lived in Detroit under the name Clarence. He studied battle rap.
There's a lot to digest from a movie like this!! Kudos to the studio executives for having the fortitude to approve a project like this that doesn't white wash the levels, stigma and proliferation that discrimination and racism plays in the lives of the people it oppress! Kudos to the director and producers for telling the story without fear of backlash from the people it highlights and the institutions, policies and procedures they use to oppress black people and their communities! Ably aided by the Federal Government at the time and even now as a lot of those policies and regulations that oppressed then is still in place..
FWIW, as far as I know, a studio didn’t green light this but it was independently produced and then sold after the fact to apple. There was a lot of stress on set due to the fact that it wasn’t backed by a big budget and some of the crew hires were causing a lot of problems with filming efficiently and consequently stretched the budget thin.
@@War450 The war on drugs was started to discriminate against black people and hippies, and is still ongoing. Black people were never given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery, and were still hamstringed after the fact, while people today just berate them for not catching up. Black neighborhoods are targeted disproportionately by policing, and generally more actively policed against. Black people are generally given harsher sentences for similar crimes committed by other people, or just found guilty more often. Because many black people are poor due to historical influence, property values are low in their communities. This means that schools in their districts do not get proper funding, because the US bases a school's worth on the property value of its surroundings. Really, much of it is a mixture of actual malice, or leftovers from a previous generation's malice. It's not as if people just not writing that they are discriminating against black people has stopped them from doing it. MANY people are still alive and kicking from the times segregation was a thing, it's not some ancient history which has no effects today.
@@FarremShamist Nobody's forcing blacks to take/deal drugs, so that's a self-imposed thing. They could just... not... And it also sees whites arrested as well further showing that it's not something holding blacks down today. Just because a democrat president started it to target blacks doesn't mean blacks, today, FORTY YEARS LATER, are still oppressed by it. Black people were given reparations, they were given an entire country as reparations, just some didn't want to accept it and stayed here. You can't use their choice as ammunition for blacks today. Also impoverished immigrants can come over to america and be wealthy doctors in a single generation, so blacks have no excuse. Ok but being more actively policed wouldn't do anything if they weren't breaking the law. Like you can stick a cop permanently in my neighborhood, the only thing that's gonna do is have a very bored cop. I never understood this argument because you're admitting blacks are committing crime, otherwise extra police wouldn't have anything to do. There's never actually been any non-biased study that proved the whole 'blacks are given harsher studies'! I say non-biased cuz the studies you'd site usually leave out various factors such as them being repeat offenders. Being poor doesn't automatically effect property value. There's plenty of impoverished white communities that don't deal with these kinds of issues. They have low property value because they're usually racked with crime and run-down buildings. Not because they're poor. It is really ancient history and most of what you said is easily debunked and not justification for the failures of blacks today. It's honestly not that hard. Stop breaking the law, keep your buildings in good shape, go to school, get a job, and it wouldn't take long for blacks to be respected members of society. Instead they just run around Burning, Looting, and Murdering because some drugged up thug died in police custody, and then they act shocked that people take issue with them. I don't know why you people insist on bending over backwards. If blacks want to be treated equal to whites, then ACT equal to whites. Until blacks do that they are not equal to whites, as actions matter far more than their skin color.
@@War450 Your level of ignorance is so baffling that I am not sure what to say. Most of what you said is extremely incorrect and comes from a place that is clearly not on earth.
My wife's sister always said it was not so much hatred, but jealousy of being out done by someone who they labeled "lesser." They knew they would succeed in all they do, so they negatively tried to brainwash them to think they were inferior.😥
People fight, and the fights may grow, and suddenly there are people in it that have no idea what it is about, so people start making up reasons, and picking sides. That's one, and then there are other factors, like new things are scary, you don't share language, and it's easier to just stick together, and keep up going. So people might not be racist, but not approving anyone bit too strange feeling. Similar looks may tell about what the person has gone through before, and if they share something with you. But aren't there places these days where people don't share anything, so people who seem to carry visible tells of places they might have gone through, tells you about that possibility. People who have gone rougher grounds might be less forgiving, and sharing. That reminds me of the story: stranger comes to a village asking help, and does not get any, but only after they started to make stone soup for food, which made the villagers sad and caring for the stranger, because they saw the stranger had the drive to open his back, and work for something that could have been total waste of time. That's why people who are foreigners, but are able to show that they know their language may get free service.
Racism is easy to figure out. Most Racism comes from having problems with said race. We give our own race a free pass though. My friend grew up in the 80s in Hawaii as a little white kid. He was constantly getting picked on, then beat the shit out of a kid who was picking on him, got kicked out. His mom was getting teased and harrased as well. So they left. My friend absolutely hated Hawaiian people with a passion. He doesn't anymore, Racism doesn't just sprout out the ground out of nowhere.
It's how humans (and all other animals) behave. People will have a greater tendency to help other people who look like them, sound like them, have the same belief system as they do, have the same behavior pattern, etc. This is because all life forms will behave in such a way to maximize gene reproduction. More similarities = more likely to be a relative = more shared genes. And helping those with more shared genes is akin to helping your own genes reproduce.
My father sold textiles whole sale. For all his years in business, he hired men to help. He sometimes had to let some workers go, but he always kept the two first men he hired, working for him. They were Black. He trusted them more than anyone. My father was a white Jew, born in Poland, fought in WW2 against the Nazis, and came to the US after the war. We always spoke about the two Blacks as if they were family…which, in a sense, they were. Charlie and Major.

I'm African American. I was trying to buy an office building and I asked for a commercial loan at a bank. They never replied to my request, although I went to their office, provided them the business plan for the building. A few months later, another bank approved me for a commercial loan. As I was trying to close, the bank that refused me the loan signed a 5 year lease for a space in the building I was purchasing. The negotiations started with the previous owner's leasing agent. But, I had to provide the approvals, as it was during the due diligence period, as I was taking over the building. Once the bank heard that a new owner of the building was about to take over, they send one of their sales agent to meet the future buyer (me), trying to offer me the commercial loan they refused me a few months earlier. I spoked to the salesperson, but declined their loan. A few months later, they were the tenant in my building ...

It also shows how much of a difference a good person can make in a certain outcome. Matt's decision to contact Bernard ahead of the Senate hearing made the difference that allowed for a kind of positive ending despite the setback in Bernard's plans. If Matt was a different type of person that backstabs at the earliest sign of trouble, the situation could have been different. We all face decisions in life and sometimes it tests our moral character. Even in the face of difficulty, choosing to do the right thing is always available.

A lot of success stories, and people who are trying to sell success as a product, have those kinds of steps throughout the process of becoming successful.
When you hear all the accurate details, which is often a rarity, it shows that a fortunate opportunity is almost always a major step that facilitated a lot of other things that led to becoming successful.
Yes hard work has to be non-ending. But whether you call it luck or an opportunity that presents itself, they play a major role. But people are hesitant to admit that because I really think they don't like their story sounding not as impressive if they admit that it really wasn't just hard work.

There is a story similar to this from India. Jamshedji Tata was inspired to build a hotel after he was refused entry at one of the grandest hotels of British time - Watson’s Hotel - which was restricted to ‘whites only. Jamsetji Tata took this as an insult to all Indians and then decided that he would build a hotel where not only Indians but foreigners could also stay without any restrictions. And that's how India's first super-luxury hotel, Taj Mahal Palace, came into being.
This same man and his family has built up TATA group that's over $300 billion today.

@ Joao Albuquererque: Just another movie bashing Whites from several generations ago; however, if you were paying attention you'd realize it took the backing of White business man to make Bernard a success. America in the 50's was a completely different society, with completely different societal norms than it is today. So just keep on bashing Whites from a different time period to keep the hate fires going today.
And that other white old guy that admired bernard. Yk hes not a bad person, just pressured by the societal bs he's lived and adapted to all his live. But deep down, he knows whats right.
Key words “based on a true story” which is the film business equivalent of beverages that are “juice” but contain only 10% actual fruit products. It is a great movie though it was a nightmare filming. Cast were all super cool especially Mackie.

This was a great movie. My grandfather(my dad's dad) was in WWII. He left the army and tried to get a VA loan and then a conventional bank loan to start a refrigeration business. Got turned down both times. My grandparents saved up $200 to start the business themselves. My grandfather got contracts for commercial refrigeration because of his last name. And a few folks thought he was just the foreman/lead guy and not the owner. It helped that my grandfather had a white sounding name. My grandmother said he would say 'if I do a great job, my color won't matter.' He was successful in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles in his(their, my grandmother helped) way. Seemingly we are better but until this kind of thinking is eradicated, the promise of this country will never be realized.

Hello
Hi 👋
In the end, Bernard came to ruin because he committed Fraud to cover up violating Banking Laws... it seems this is justified in the movie and glossed over if not glorified...
@@mr3817 I don't condone criminality, but in this case Bernard ended up as the bad guy although everyone benefited from all the spoils. Sometimes things may not look right or might not be the right thing to do. ..but when you believe in yourself and know that because of the colour of your skin you are being deprived of your rights; treated poorly as though you don't belong; then you will do anything to prove to your oppressors that you too should have a piece of the cake. I don't know if I am making sense; but in this case I emphatize with Bernard because he worked very hard to succeed and it was pulled from under his feet just like that; even though he acted against the law; his so called friends knew that some of the things they did were wrong in a sense ...still, they should not have abandoned him. Many of them went along with his brilliant ideas and benefited from it. Traiters they are.
Wisdom is one thing i truly admire from the main character in this story. Wisdom is what makes a human at higher place than others.

It's incredibly stupid to hate someone just because they look a certain way. I judge people by their actions. I'm a Sci-Fi fan, it's great at teaching you, that someone can look very different from you, and still be very good, and honorable, someone you can have a great deal of respect for.
Good point
That's a huge simplification of racism. It's not just the way they look that certain people hate. Maybe at the beginning it was appearance based discrimination, but people justified their hatred with things like inferior intellect and genetic predisposition to laziness. It made it easier for them to be racist
Edit: grammar
Its because black people are the Israelites 🔔
@Chomky Squirrel Everyone uses Generalisations, or Stereotypes for pretty much everything. You have to have a bases for how to react to whatever, and you get that knowledge usually through experience of some kind.
There is a difference between that, and hating someone, just because of their race.
There is no reset button on life, so everyone uses their past experiences to judge future matters.
If everyone treated each other with kindness, and respect from today forward, we would see hate in people go way, way down.
Also, keep in mind. It's movies that made aliens do experiments on people, and aliens always seem to be bad, there are rarely ever good encounters with aliens.
So right now, everyone's experience with a alien is bad, and any future encounter with one will have people react badly to them. Because we made them fear them, before any proof that they exist.
As a fan I agree that sci-fi can and does teach this, but if I may add: I also know the science-fiction genre teaches these common biases and initial misjudgments from the basis of reality itself. Life teaches this first, but we can be blind to something so obvious until we view it from an outside perspective. Being aware of them is key to overcoming them and treating everyone with the love, dignity and respect we all deserve as children of God, made in His image and Likeness. This is only possible through constant self-examination and an ever deepening relationship with the Triune God, who is Truth and Love itself.

Mhmm, keep telling yourself that.
Facts
To openly discriminate on the basis of race is wildly, wildly illegal nowadays, and if somebody actually declined a man on the basis of the color of his skin a lawsuit would come straight up from hell itself (not to mention the social outrage). Of course, this assumes the man in question doesn't actually pose a risky loan customer, for even if credit score doesn't care about skin color, bankers won't loan out to bad credit, and the sad state of things today is it is statistically likely that a random person of African descent will not have a good credit.
Such delusion is disrespectful to the works of men like Bernard. Things are not perfect, but alleging that nothing has changed and the situation today is comparable to the way things were then is disingenuous.

Thanks for the retrospective :)
Oh please. White guilt in you is just ridiculous. Racism is horrible. Black and white are just as racist to each other and every race for that matter.

@@ausroboda4003 so youre proud of the racism your ancestors caused and the horrendous acts they committed
@@ausroboda4003 he's not referring to white guilt, and no every race is not equally racist.

There isn't much of a comparison in the US between black and white struggles. To claim you or I or white people as a whole had comparable struggles and discrimination as black Americans is absolutely laughable. I'd suggest you read up on some history like the Jim Crow era, segregation, and the refusal of banks to give black people home and business loans legally until the 80s. Look up redlining and what happened to affluent black neighborhoods like black wall street. There's an American precedent to destroy black success whenever possible.

@@ThePowerOfTheD or... Bernard wouldn't have been able to do what he did had the white man not helped him. So I agree that Bernard worked hard and did amazing things. But it was still at the mercy of a white man.
Sometimes we see things like this and say all black people can simply do the same and racism can be overcome. And it's not 100% accurate.
@@dablackangel Bernard didn't depend upon the white man, he saw an opportunity and took it even with the significant obstacles for a blackman at that time. Today the black community has the obstacles of broken homes, gov dependency and environment. Still they are able to overcome. There are multiple blackmen and women who have come out of the hood who are successful or better themselves by not falling prey to those obstacles.
Are there courses or books that teach Bernard’s analytical methods.
Hit up a library. You'd be surprised by the selection, resources, and people available to make that happen
Analytical Thinking is not found in a book. It is an innate ability that most do not have within them.

that's a great story but not everyone can become the boss in order to be treated right. that's why equality in treatment is important.
Well said.
Really depends if they deserve to be treated equally. Respect is earned, not given, and a lot of people today absolutely do not deserve to be treated the same as others.
@@War450 True, however, You cannot judge anyone based on your mere preconceptions. If you did then you are no better than that old white lady
@@stevenayare6097 It's pretty easy to judge someone. The way they carry themselves. Their body language. The way they talk. How they interact with others. You can create a basic profile within seconds of meeting someone. And there does come a point where risk vs reward comes into play.
An example that I have personally dealt with in real life is if I hire a black man to work for me and he ends up being the worst employee I ever had, I fire him. I then hire another black man, similar attitude, similar demeanor, similar way of carrying himself, speaking, dress. He, too, was an awful employee and I fire him.
I hire a third, a fourth, a fifth, all of them sharing these characteristics, all of them being awful employees. It's perfectly reasonable for me to say "you know what, I'm not going to hire these black men anymore". Now sure it's possible the sixth black man who comes in dressed like they were, body language like theirs, talking like they did, it's entirely possible he'd be the best employee I ever had. But is it worth it for me to take that risk? No, it's not.
There's nothing wrong with this, this is nature, this is basic human, I can't mind-read, I can't know if someone's good, and life is not so luxurious that we're afforded the ability to sit down and intimately get to know every single person we meet. This is why generalizations exist. This is why deserving respect is important. This is why fixing yourself to fit societal norms is important. Because I have more important things in my life than you, so if you wanna ensure I give you enough time for you to earn my respect, you had best start off with a good cover.
@@War450 Relax I added "if' for a reason, but I guess you lack basic cognitive thinking. Sorry, I can't justify prejudice, I judge people by their character and see people for who they are. Oh, regarding your respect? I could not care less.
This was actually a true story, however, I believe modern day racism prevented this film from ever hitting the market because it would expose the racism of some present day banks, and the way they do business.

How is that stabbing him in the back? don't use terms you don't understand, that term implies you blindside someone and just do a full 180 without their knowledge. telling someone you going to flip on them beforehand is actually respectful and shows intergrity.

Moral of the story: if your bank isn't doing well, stop a few black men entering , one of them will come back and buy ur bank 😂😂
As black man I have spent my life by many of these examples. I was fortunate to walk a different path and too learned how to manage my money and play this financial game. I have decent investments and other securities for my future. Banks would love to deny me a loan. I can see it in their faces after running my credit score. My wife and I have maintained darn near perfect credit scores, we keep our finances in order and don't live beyond our means. I even have a perfect driving record LOL!!!
Please don't take this as bragging. I've worked hard to maintain this and fully understand that others don't have it like that and that many of the opportunities I was able to come across they just don't have. But I only say the things I say above to show that you do in fact have to try and change your thinking early on to achieve your goals and dreams.
Notice what they invested in? Real-estate and financial institutions. Not clothes, jewelry or cars. Those are depreciating assets. Real-estate etc. among a few other worthwhile endeavors can bring residual income. But do understand that while I have perfect credit and all that there are many in the world where none of that means a thing to them and you're just seen as another person of color that's beneath them.

Y'all should just give up. You will never convince me that a black man or woman is not allowed in a community because their black. Or that a black person cant run/use a bank.

There’s a very important part of this story that was glossed over, his family member. His family member provided HIS family with a roof over their heads and a place to sleep. Though not an ideal situation, his family member helped him the best way they could. The lesson that SHOULD be highlighted is one does not succeed alone. A strong foundation laid by family (or strong support system) can help ensure individual success. Granted he did all the tough work, but at least he didn’t have to start at the bottom of the barrel. Just don’t forget those that helped you along the way.
Right!! Once Bernard became a success i hope he went back and took take of them to took him and his family in.

Yeah, because even though the US is only 250 years old, they invented violence. And all other nations are safe, non violent utopias. If only the US would stop invading and annexing all these countries, the world would be so much safer. Thank God Swedens and Russia's military is always there to assist those other nations in defense, when they are invaded by US troops.
How wonderful they both were as young entrepreneurs, nothing stopped them moving forward, they covered every angle that brought them in so much financial success. Even right to the end, their partner apologised, and left them both with property in the Bahamas.

This is such a great recap and movie thank you. I loved it. These type of stories and movies are important to share and see ❤
There's a lot to digest from a movie like this!! Kudos to the studio executives for having the fortitude to approve a project like this that doesn't white wash the levels, stigma and proliferation that discrimination and racism plays in the lives of the people it oppress! Kudos to the director and producers for telling the story without fear of backlash from the people it highlights and the institutions, policies and procedures they use to oppress black people and their communities! Ably aided by the Federal Government at the time and even now as a lot of those policies and regulations that oppressed then is still in place..
FWIW, as far as I know, a studio didn’t green light this but it was independently produced and then sold after the fact to apple. There was a lot of stress on set due to the fact that it wasn’t backed by a big budget and some of the crew hires were causing a lot of problems with filming efficiently and consequently stretched the budget thin.
"a lot of those policies and regulations that oppressed then is still in place.." What policies and regulations exist today that oppress black people?
@@War450 The war on drugs was started to discriminate against black people and hippies, and is still ongoing.
Black people were never given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery, and were still hamstringed after the fact, while people today just berate them for not catching up.
Black neighborhoods are targeted disproportionately by policing, and generally more actively policed against.
Black people are generally given harsher sentences for similar crimes committed by other people, or just found guilty more often.
Because many black people are poor due to historical influence, property values are low in their communities. This means that schools in their districts do not get proper funding, because the US bases a school's worth on the property value of its surroundings.
Really, much of it is a mixture of actual malice, or leftovers from a previous generation's malice. It's not as if people just not writing that they are discriminating against black people has stopped them from doing it. MANY people are still alive and kicking from the times segregation was a thing, it's not some ancient history which has no effects today.
@@FarremShamist Nobody's forcing blacks to take/deal drugs, so that's a self-imposed thing. They could just... not... And it also sees whites arrested as well further showing that it's not something holding blacks down today. Just because a democrat president started it to target blacks doesn't mean blacks, today, FORTY YEARS LATER, are still oppressed by it.
Black people were given reparations, they were given an entire country as reparations, just some didn't want to accept it and stayed here. You can't use their choice as ammunition for blacks today. Also impoverished immigrants can come over to america and be wealthy doctors in a single generation, so blacks have no excuse.
Ok but being more actively policed wouldn't do anything if they weren't breaking the law. Like you can stick a cop permanently in my neighborhood, the only thing that's gonna do is have a very bored cop. I never understood this argument because you're admitting blacks are committing crime, otherwise extra police wouldn't have anything to do.
There's never actually been any non-biased study that proved the whole 'blacks are given harsher studies'! I say non-biased cuz the studies you'd site usually leave out various factors such as them being repeat offenders.
Being poor doesn't automatically effect property value. There's plenty of impoverished white communities that don't deal with these kinds of issues. They have low property value because they're usually racked with crime and run-down buildings. Not because they're poor.
It is really ancient history and most of what you said is easily debunked and not justification for the failures of blacks today.
It's honestly not that hard. Stop breaking the law, keep your buildings in good shape, go to school, get a job, and it wouldn't take long for blacks to be respected members of society. Instead they just run around Burning, Looting, and Murdering because some drugged up thug died in police custody, and then they act shocked that people take issue with them. I don't know why you people insist on bending over backwards. If blacks want to be treated equal to whites, then ACT equal to whites. Until blacks do that they are not equal to whites, as actions matter far more than their skin color.
@@War450 Your level of ignorance is so baffling that I am not sure what to say. Most of what you said is extremely incorrect and comes from a place that is clearly not on earth.
dang I almost got mad at Matt for switching sides but the end just made me love him more
are you racist
I was expecting that
I will never understand racism, it's such a sad thing to happen
My wife's sister always said it was not so much hatred, but jealousy of being out done by someone who they labeled "lesser." They knew they would succeed in all they do, so they negatively tried to brainwash them to think they were inferior.😥
Bullshit
People fight, and the fights may grow, and suddenly there are people in it that have no idea what it is about, so people start making up reasons, and picking sides. That's one, and then there are other factors, like new things are scary, you don't share language, and it's easier to just stick together, and keep up going. So people might not be racist, but not approving anyone bit too strange feeling.
Similar looks may tell about what the person has gone through before, and if they share something with you. But aren't there places these days where people don't share anything, so people who seem to carry visible tells of places they might have gone through, tells you about that possibility.
People who have gone rougher grounds might be less forgiving, and sharing.
That reminds me of the story: stranger comes to a village asking help, and does not get any, but only after they started to make stone soup for food, which made the villagers sad and caring for the stranger, because they saw the stranger had the drive to open his back, and work for something that could have been total waste of time.
That's why people who are foreigners, but are able to show that they know their language may get free service.
Racism is easy to figure out. Most Racism comes from having problems with said race. We give our own race a free pass though. My friend grew up in the 80s in Hawaii as a little white kid. He was constantly getting picked on, then beat the shit out of a kid who was picking on him, got kicked out. His mom was getting teased and harrased as well. So they left. My friend absolutely hated Hawaiian people with a passion. He doesn't anymore, Racism doesn't just sprout out the ground out of nowhere.
It's how humans (and all other animals) behave. People will have a greater tendency to help other people who look like them, sound like them, have the same belief system as they do, have the same behavior pattern, etc. This is because all life forms will behave in such a way to maximize gene reproduction. More similarities = more likely to be a relative = more shared genes. And helping those with more shared genes is akin to helping your own genes reproduce.
