re: Why is being a Black Owned Business still a thing?

Sure, but I don’t see anyone doing it. It’s still a free country for now

Veterans come in all colors.

Asians own most hair shops. Arabs own most vape shops. .

Of course it’s racist. Don’t let them gaslight you. They know it is.

It's just another form of grift.

Luckily Trump is ending all this DEI bullshite

White guilt is ripe for the harvesting
So is tribalism, especially when that tribe considers itself to be that of "noble victims". This goes for any x-owned business claim. Woman-owned, Hispanic-owned, LGTBQ+69ANUS-owned, etc. The qualifiers imply that somehow because they are owned by some group of noble victims that their product and services are of higher quality and/or lower price.
The reality is that a lot of these x-owned businesses are only technically so. Pass-through scams are all the rage among government contracts, for example. For the uninitiated:
-Pass-throughs form by having someone who qualifies for a given minority status owning at least 51% of a company
-Minorities get preferential treatment with consideration for government contracts
-The work gets sub-contracted to companies who do not qualify as minority-owned
That's why I not only DGAF about companies which present themselves as x-owned, but will purposely not do business with them unless I've gotten verification from people I personally know and trust that they do quality work.

I’d rather judge a business by the quality of its service than the color of the owners skin.

how divisive this is
Divisive is the ??% objective. Our overloads (elites/politicians/billionaires) want us to hate each other (it's easier to control a divided country).
Unfortunately, dumb, gullible, middle class folks are manipulated into doing all the work. It's a great plan and very effective.

Not to derail thread, but on Google, it asks you all these bullshite questions, like lgbtq plus owned, black owned, minority owned, etc for your business profile. It doesn’t show up on any searches, and I’ve always checked the boxes for my businesses.
I can’t say it helps in helps in the algorithm, but I can’t say it hurts either, and with the mountain of woke bullshite from these tech giants, I am of the strong inclination that it helps.

What happens if I put up a "White Owned Business" sign?

Or for that matter, “locally” owned?

You’re probably getting kneecapped if you’re lying and they do due diligence

It goes beyond black at the SBA.

Saw an article on KPLC. How do the people writing these articles not see how divisive this is?
It’s for closet racists.
They are basically insinuating that blacks don’t have the ability to own businesses by saying: “Can you believe a black person owns a successful business?!?!”

Low expectations produce meaningless results.
Posted on 2/22/26 at 2:21 pm to CSinLC
It is just marketing
Posted on 2/22/26 at 2:22 pm to CSinLC
Same reason they all sit together, separately from others at sporting events or another function.
