"...young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are, but they don't have lawyers, they don't have accountants..."
If you think blacks are disadvantaged because of their skin color in getting financing

I reacted to the quote you posted and your calling it racist. I saw nothing racist about noting that Black entrepreneurs, in general, are disadvantaged because typically they have less wealth to pay for the professional services required for starting a business.

Your comment that there are lots of Black professionals did not seem relevant nor make sense. Nor did calling Biden's statement racist. Nor does your subsequent comment about financing. The only thing relevant is the prospect of a budding entrepreneur's access to lawyers and accountants, whether Blacks are, in general, disadvantaged in that regard, and, if whether they are or not, whether saying that they are is racist.

>>There is no White Farmers Association, but there certainly is a Black Farmers Association.<<

Yes there is. When you're born white and you go into farming, you're in it!
