NEW YORK TIMES: This Is What Racism Sounds Like in the Banking Industry
JPMorgan Chase employees were allegedly caught on recordings denigrating wealthy black clients — including an ex-New York Giant — as scary and irresponsible.
Retired defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy recorded one Chase worker in Arizona allegedly suggesting he was “intimidating” because “they don’t see people like you a lot.”
“You’re bigger than the average person, period. And you’re also an African American,” financial adviser Charles Belton, who is also black, said in the recording.

“We’re in Arizona. I don’t have to tell you about what the demographics are in Arizona.”
On another soundbite, an ex-Chase bank boss allegedly suggested a black woman would blow a $372,000 settlement she received after her son’s death because she “didn’t earn it.”
“You’ve got somebody who’s coming from Section 8, never had a nickel to spend, and now she’s got $400,000,” Frank Venniro, who worked as a JPMorgan Chase executive director in the Phoenix area, said on the clip.

“What do you think’s going to happen with that money? It’s gone.”
The remark came during a conversation between Venniro and former Chase financial adviser Ricardo Peters, who told the Times he had complained that a colleague was trying to snatch up the black woman as a client….
