Al Green

I am actually saddened by what the President has done, but it is evidence of what must be done.

H.R. 8160 is a means by which we can have regulators examine whether or not this diversity and inclusion is actually taking place.

If this could be done voluntarily, it would have been done already.

It is my belief that even when you can't do enough, you should at least do all that you can

It just seems to me that this is further evidence of the need for the OMWIs.

The President is doing the country a disservice with this kind of behavior.

This is evidence of why we need H.R. 8160, the bill that is styled, 'Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in Banking.'

I think that Madam Chairwoman is truly to be commended for this hearing.

I have intelligence indicating that President Trump has banned diversity training.

This hearing is long overdue, but it is timely.

Isn't it about time that we do something other than what we have been doing?

Only gave them 3 months, and that the whole balance would be due in 90 days

I have proposed that we have a department of reconciliation with the responsibility of dealing with racism and invidious discrimination in this country.

I am just appalled, to be quite frank with you, at the fact that the consumer always seems to find himself or herself groveling to a certain extent to get something that these big banks get as a matter of course.

It seems that this is, like many other things, having a disproportionate impact on persons of color.

It always seems that people of color are having to account for themselves.

It is my belief that there is systemic discrimination.

I think our job is to try to create opportunities where we can meet the goals of saving lives, wherever it exists.

It is not about the politics; it is about the policies.

We have a couple of pieces of legislation. H.R. 149, the Housing Fairness Act, helps to deal with discrimination in housing.

I believe that it is time for us to reconcile in this country.

The 2019 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data were released last week and demonstrate that unequal access to credit on the basis of race and ethnicity remains the norm in America today.

With all due respect to the President, if you want to make America great again, Mr. President, have the Senate pass a bill to protect first responders by sending money to local governments. If you want to make America great again, put…

The American people want to know that their government will be there for them. They want to know that their tax dollars will pay dividends for them. They want to know that we will promote the general welfare as extolled in the preamble to…
