and shop accordingly. According to them, you should avoid stores owned by whites, jews, asians, etc and instead find a store that is black-owned.

Sound familiar? This is the chamber of commerce that represents businesses in the entire metro area, not just Baton Rouge.

Oh, and Louisiana State University's Innovation Park supports shopping based on race as well.

Well just shop according to race. Whites support white businesses and blacks support black businesses. Give them what they wants

No thanks. I’d rather support competent, convenient and safe places, whomever owns it.

The African slave trade was, after all, a black owned business white people fought a war to end.

I appreciate when they publish these lists of black-owned businesses so I’ll know which ones to avoid.

If you support BRAC or LSU then you kinda do support businesses based on race. You just use them as a proxy.

Can you read? It says support black businesses and gives a list.

A LIST.

They had lists of businesses that were or weren't Jewish-owned back in Nazi Germany. We've come full circle.

Do you think white owned businesses are on that list? How about ashkenazi jew-owned businesses? Asian owned businesses? No.

Use critical thinking.

This makes it sound as if black-owned businesses are incapable of succeeding on their own merit, therefore you must actively seek them out and patronize them.

Same ol’, same ol’. If I were black and owned a business, I’d be offended.

It says consider supporting black owned businesses. These lists are usually done every February for BHM as well, so they’re really just recycling it.

But by all means continue with your faux outrage.

White people should stop being afraid of being labeled racist simply because they’re reacting to actual racism.

Do they ever say consider supporting white owned businesses? Or even Jewish-owned businesses?

In fact, when you say people should prefer black-owned businesses it is literally the same thing as saying you should avoid Jewish owned businesses if a black one is available. It's wild that you do Nazi it.
