This link is on the Google search page.



This is incredibly racist. Use the word "white" and Google would be shut down. This is more evidence of institutional racism against white people.

What do I care what's on Google's home page? Using Google is against my religion, and fortunately we have religious freedom in this country.

try DuckDuckGo.

The problem is this is where most people go to search and it is giving us propaganda.

Fortunately, most people don’t care and they don’t need you to care on their behalf. You do you and let others worry about themselves.

Its funny. Google has been prioritizing/filtering/censoring search results since its inception. At least here they are taking their mask off, woke as it is

Then that button isn't for you.

It isn't making you buy from anywhere.
It isn't saying you should.

So no big deal.

Whether or not you like or support -- or I like and support -- there has been more interest in supporting Black owned businesses especially during February.

It doesn't fuss me -- I don't care what color folks are either......so I don't pay any attention to it.

I don't get that button popping up.

I wouldn't have noticed anyways.

I don't get fussed with stuff......life is way too short.

No one is making you buy from any company. You get to choose the product, the company, the shipping method. So does everyone else.

I get hit up to donate to all kinds of charities at cash registers (St Judes being the one I hear most) and never once have I been asked to donate to a specifically “black” charity. Maybe you can list the ones you’ve been asked to donate to?

BTW, if you want to donate to a charity, doing it at a cash register is a bad way. Do it directly on the charities website so they get all your money not just a portion with some going to the fund raising company that sets up those cash register donations.
