The Color Of Money

Whats the true color of money. Is it really green? Is it light gray. How about black or white? No matter what the currancy is, all money is the same color but not for the same people. In a study of the Atlanta banks starting back in 1981, many blacks was experiencing that money had a face and it didnt resemble them. The middle class to upper class werent able to get loans as easy a white people. While a lower class black citizen wasnt eligble to recieve a loan, the lower class white person was recieving more loans than the eligble black people. Banks were favoring white areas by a 5-1 margin. It wasnt about home value nor household income but by the color of your skin determines the crediblity of your loan.
