first off, being Canadian doesn't excuse him of shit
secondly, what he said was an opinion, not racism. Considering all the black folks that came up on this continent came from slavery, minimal financial experience would definitely have an impact on the ability to save and invest and 'teach' other people, such as children and friends, the benefits of financial responsibility.
It's taken time to develop the racial infrastructure that allows more minorities into positions of making money, and i agree it was ignorant for him to ignore that little reality
