Subject: The 13% that seems like 100% online
Today BMO changed the image in its online home page to the one you see above. Previously when I checked my account online, the first thing that appeared was the same unnamed black man in a suit but sitting behind a desk with a serious expression on his face, looking for all the world like the bank's CEO. I wondered if he was indeed the head of the place, but when I checked, he turned out to be an actor named Lamorne Morris. It was reassuring to know that the facts corresponded to my real-world experience, but the disturbing question remained: why is a Negro being used as the spokesman for their bank? What message was BMO trying to convey to their clientele? I am still trying to figure it out.

THAT is the question for more than BMO. Unfortunately,this is everywhere and seems to be entrenched and getting worse. Whomever runs Madison Avenue is the culprit. Trump needs to turn his gaze to THIS "matter."

Lookit there! a famous actor sitting on your assets. Wikipedia.
Seems that the bank could have found a cheaper version of the same, if the acting is just posing for still photos.
Or licensed use of a cartoon character. Entertaining advertisements from the former Old Stone Bank in Rhode Island with spokesman Fred Flintstone. example. The bank's long gone but there's still a place to order a t-shirt.
This is getting somewhat serious:"floyd kneelers" fired from the fbi
ass(ociated)press
The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling at a protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death of george floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, three people familiar with the matter said Friday.
The bureau reassigned the agents last spring but has since fired them, said the people, who insisted on anonymity to discuss personnel matters with the ass(ociated) press.
The number of employees dismissed was not immediately clear, but two people said it was roughly 20.
An FBI spokesman declined to comment.
GRA:I will--BRAVO!(applause). Trump is TRYING to send messages about how to behave intelligently. Whether the message is recalled by future citizens would likely depend on who's the president.
