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.".
So is racism still racism if it's a positive?
Funny, but I have not actually noticed a "big push" to do anything of the sort.
There is a push to buy local rather than from "big box" or mega-chain outlets.
It actually sounds a little bit like contrived victimhood or scapegoating.
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...
well...……………………….. yes it is.
Liberals are some of the most racist people I have ever encountered.
The word has been abused too much to have any real meaning anymore.
That's racist!
P.S. Nailed it. In fact, that was all Kamala Harris did in the primaries was lob around (directly or through proxies) race and gender attacks at her fellow democrats. But hey, it's just soooo nice that this will go away once Trumps gone lmao.
LOL. This is amusing. I don’t see this type of complaining when immigrants support each other’s businesses. In fact, you all talk about how certain immigrants, East Asians for example, support each other. But the minute Black people do the same, it becomes a problem and you’re angry about it.
Racism is a very broad form of tribalism. A human is a social creature that must belong to a large group in order to mentally function. Small tribes are our natural environment. Big faceless rootless mass societies make us sick literally. We must belong. For the lack of a group to belong to some people cultivate belonging to a race in order to cope with atomized rootless and thus pointless and harmful life. An ersatz of belonging to something is better than nothing. Blacks cultivate belonging to the black i.e. racial mass group by emphasizing their accents, hairdos, dress and non mainstream names. It is a cold indifferent world out there, something is better than nothing.
Not really. “Black” was an imposed term after Africans of all backgrounds had their cultures beaten and stripped from them. Yes, over 40 ethnic groups. It’s not a term people chose for themselves. The whole modern idea of race was not cultivated by African descendants or “black” people. The only places you see “black” on a census in Africa is where European were in large numbers (South Africa). Africans identify ethnically/culturally. In the U.S., people of African descent melded the cultures they had left and created more culture, as humans do. After multiple imposed labels from greater society, the “black” label lasted, as it did in certain other places.

I don't begrudge group solidarity.
I read the OP as alleging social pressure from non-blacks to frequent black businesses.
I haven't actually seen that, mind you. But that was what I read into it.
