I take back what I said, that this is racism. I don't think it is. It is more of an example of exclusivity and division.
did Google stop you from searching for any other business?
Do you get upset when companies have discounts for vets or senior citizens?
Google isn’t the only game in town either. Just use a different browser if it really upsets you or maybe this is just for show and you guys aren’t really upset?
I opened Google Chrome this morning and saw a new banner link at the bottom of the home page - where I have never seen one before.
It read:
Is this what is meant by inclusiveness and unity that we were promised by the new Administration, because I believe that it is actually segregating and divisive. I am not a racist - I really don't care what race the owner of a business I patronize is.
I suspect there will be just as many people using this feature to boycott black-owned businesses as the number who use it to support black-owned businesses. BOTH are racist.
Google profits from their racism so why wouldn't they promote racism?
It states "In honor of the start of Black History Month, on Feb. 1, Google announced they were launching a new shopping feature that will help users find and purchase products from Black-owned businesses.
Over the past 12 months, search requests for "Black owned businesses" have increased by 600 percent, according to the company, which noted that people are looking for recommendations for everything from restaurants to bookstores, beauty products and more."
So it seems that based on what people are searching for is why they created it on their Shopping Page someplace I normally never go to. But when I did just go and tried it I typed in Catholic, Jewish or Black owned businesses all I got was a list of products that would be applicable to the group. I even type in Trump Stuff and got a wide assortment of items so it seems all of it is just a way to make a shoppers search more specific to what they want.

This isn't about being "upset" or stopping what people do. It isn't a ground breaking issue. It's merely just an example of calling race into something that normally isn't about race. Its obvious you are okay with using race as a decision maker. If you can't see that, I can't help you.
