i am a small-business owner, and i am black. i have experienced firsthand some of the pain points in obtaining capital mentioned in <u+201c> credit gap for black-owned firms <u+201d> (business & tech., nov. 10). many of my contemporaries would point to decades of structural discrimination and unconscious bias that has caused headwinds for black business sustainability. with that said, as a black entrepreneur, i welcome donald trump <u+2019>s presidency and his policy proposals for a modernized glass-steagall policy, tax incentives and less business regulation that can help black businesses succeed. during his campaign, president-elect trump said that he could bring jobs to dilapidated urban communities with a <u+201c>new deal<u+201d> for black america. the best and most effective way this can be achieved is by expanding the entrepreneurial community in black america. president nixon did this at the height of civil unrest and urban decay with his signing of executive orders 11458 and 11625. he convened with black business leaders and the private sector to craft a robust agenda that promoted black capitalism and job creation through business development. duane johnson st. paul, minn.
