Right now there's a big push to "buy from black owned businesses"... You're not buying because it's the best price, better quality, the fastest shipping, best customer service. No, you're simply being told by the left media to purchase from the business because the owner is black.
So isn't that racism? "Don't buy from that white owned business with the better prices and faster shipping, no buy from the black guy cause he's black.".
Last night my husband was telling me about a high level employee at his company who was an diversity hire. When she has a meeting, no one attends because it is a waste of time because she is so incompetent. They had to hire another person to actually DO her job. So she just sits home and collects a very large paycheck.

So is racism still racism if it's a positive?
How is this different than the push to "buy American" instead of Chinese goods?
What BLM is doing with the "buy black, sell black or we will break your windows" is whats known as extortion.
See Al Capone and "the beer wars" for further detail.
Its not the same as individuals freely exercising their own preferences in the marketplace, which is a perfectly acceptable non-violent practice.

In today's PC culture, simply being frank and stating the truth is labeled as "racist".
Interestingly, I grew up in neighborhoods and schools that were half black, so I don't fear blacks and realize they are not a block aggregate (as liberals assume), but are a collection of individuals just like anyone else. I would offer that 90% of blacks probably do not support this BLM BS, as they want a safe environment, a good job, and a good future for their kids, just like everybody else.
Most libs are actually real racists, as they assume initially that every black they meet is inferior or have some weird, special objectives in life that are different than white folks. Libs are the real racists in the US.
rac·ism
/ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
What the OP describes doesn't sound like racism to me, no.

What group of people call 90% of Black voters stupid slaves who just do what White people tell them to do bc they can't think for themselves? It's not Liberals...
