    there wasn’t any likelihood of that happen

    Ironically, from what I’ve recently heard, Cadillac started selling to black people during the Great Depression. Now, how did black people have money during the Great Depression? Well, it’s because they weren’t allowed to keep their money in banks, and had it in cash instead.

      Kinda like how Jews tended to be bankers and other financial staff, because other religions refused to handle moneylending. Many hypocrites hated the Jew’s acquisition of wealth, when said hypocrites refused to do the work.

        They didn’t refuse to be money lenders. Christians were religiously prohibited from money lending as you needed to charge usury to make a living lending money and usury is forbidden in christianity but not in judaism.
