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?
There is so much racism and hatred (openly accepted and pushed) directed at whites in America today it's head-spinning.
I know where this leads - it will lead to outright genocide of whites in this country down the road. It's so clear and obvious you can't deny it.
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...
Actually yes. It is. They are not saying it in so many words.... but their actions proves it. We are just surprised you can't see it too. But go ahead and belive what you want if that makes you feel better.

I do not accept your premise that blacks supporting fellow black businesses is racism.
Now if they were to boycott all white businesses based on the race of the owner, that might be a better example of racism.
However, many minority communities support their own local businesses, and it has helped them increase their economic and social standing. So I see nothing wrong with blacks attempting to buy from those in their community.

Are you cool with white people supporting only white businesses?
How is this different than the push to "buy American" instead of Chinese goods?
America and China are countries where products are produced giving jobs/income to citizens of that country which in turn helps the economy.
Black and white represent individuals of a particular race, both of whom contribute to the American economy. Singling out one over the other is racism.
Since countries are not a race and their economic well being benefits all citizens, singling out one over the other is actually patriotic.

I haven't actually seen that, mind you. But that was what I read into it.
There is some social pressure online to do so. That affects the younger generations of course more than the over-30s.
I won't PURPOSELY shop somewhere based on their immutable characteristics. If someone wants to, that's their prerogative.
But yes, it walks a fine line. Imagine you were the only white owned business in a majority black area and encouraged whites on media to support you and shop there. Something tells me that you won't get the same applause as "buy black" movements.
I think people would get less worked up about things if there wasn't such a double standard.

This has to be explained to you? What race are the American people? You know that not all Chinese are the same, right?
