Can I get some clarification?

Is this only for businesses which are 100% black owned? What if it's 99% black-owned and 1% Filipino-owned? How about 51% black, 14% Hispanic and 35% Asian? What if Rachel Dolezal owns the business?

TIA.

They just walk around there.
They don't actually ever spend a dollar.

What if it's black owned, but the black that owns it is, in Snoop's words, a coon?

Black-owned banks are also encouraging the economic movement.

Kevin Cohee, the CEO of OneUnited, one of 21 Black-owned banks in the U.S., said he felt compelled to galvanize the community and allies in support of buying from Black-owned businesses.

"We need to use our power – both our spending power, our vote and our voice – to demand criminal justice reform and to address income inequality," Cohee said in a statement.


I found this excerpt interesting. It's from the very end of the article linked in the OP. I'd be very interested to know the racial breakdown of his loan recipients, as well as the credit rating of his black customers. Since we're being told that statistics are racist and it's the evil white man holding back blacks, I'm sure this black banker will give his fellow black people unsecured loans in order to help them get ahead. Right?

At least those waiters and waitresses won't have to bring a shitload of lemons and refill as many sweetener caddies!

Does Joe Biden have to confirm their blackness as some sort of pre-requisite?


So many questions.

I’m actually sympathetic to the grievances of black people. If we learned anything from the 20th Century it’s that a large portion of their population were placed in the legal position of second class citizen by the Separate but Equal Doctrine and kept there by Marxist shite like The Great Society.All of that shite was created by white people.

MLK day, Black history month, kneeling during the National Anthem and the recent fascination of corporate America with Juneteenth continues to treat black Americans like another kind of American.

Why the frick are We continuing to repeat this insanity?

I’d usually respond by proposing a whiteout day but there aren’t any black owned businesses for me to boycott, so I guess that day would just be called Tuesday

I picked up a whopper from Burger King, and I did not spot one whitey in the joint besides yours truly. That counts right?
