Reason why white people will become Refugees in USA. Standard Bank. Shocking service

The reason this country is in the shape it is , is because financial institutions like Standard Bank playing the race card undercover and has no loyalty to it's old customers that never let them down. I have app**** 3 times 2 X on phone app and on internet for a urgent loan to pay a deposit on a new place with not even a smoke signal or any attempt to call me and say why or what to do. I have Black African friends that earn a third of what I earn and there totals every month differ due to being Software maintenance guys who do daily dial ups to fix systems and get paid the same way I do for each job straight afterwards and they have bigger loans, overdrafts and credit cards from Standard bank and there credit score is 100 points less than mine. So I have to think it's a colour thing. I had a standard bank account starting off going to the army 33 years ago and ran it for 5 years with loans and revolving credit and the day I stopped using Standard because of my new employer I never owed them a cent. I pay my R500 + Truworths account every month and app**** for a Discovery Credit card 3 months ago and was approved online with no paperwork being asked for and I was able to transfer money to my Standard bank account 30 minutes after applying 1 hour before that at 5 am in the morning. I just took a walk from Agulhas to StruisBaai and back and spent 35 minutes of airtime waiting to be answered and then 20 minutes getting shunted from person to person with no respect. It's pathetic , I app**** for a small personal loan and the payments are R277 per month. And I actually don't even need that much but if I don't get help I will be on the street from tomorrow. But it would be so nice for my Bank to phone me and pre warn me to buy a tent instead. I once offered the ******s from Pretoria zoo the positions of Board of Directors Tymebank and they declined. I would imagine they would do the same with Standard Bank. Come guys my account over the past year has been erratic but always has money coming and you can also see that my accounts are always paid and you know I am self employed , no need for payslips. You guys are the reason I cannot grow. I mean if you guys helped me purchase new equipment I could quadruple the dial up and internet maintenance I do. Now I just need a roof over my head. Oh. I forgot 52 year old white South African

I don't think and I am sure Standard bank don't realise the urgency of my situation. I am and have been fighting Cancer for almost 5 years now and the good lord has helped me almost get to the finish line, almost in remission. Not having a home will set me back Physically and mentally and the not knowing strengthens the cancer because I am panicking and that's not good for my immune system. Don't even know why I told you this , you don't care about people , just money

Just missed a call while attempting to go to bathroom and Ran back but missed the call. But no second attempt to call back and I tried to call the number and it will not go through. A automated voice gave a email address but maybe you need to be a robot to understand the voice
