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:

Quote:
"New! Search for Black-owned shops near you."
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.

Directed at the condescending self absorbed white leftist, to help them feel good about themselves in supporting a black owned business

I never shop based upon race. That would be racist.

Ignore it.

They are targeting white liberals full of angst from white guilt.

My point exactly - you think Google would understand that.

So what is their reason for putting an obviously racist link on their Home Page?
