I think google is giving you results for black owned businesses whether you request them or not.



Middle to Upper Middle Class Black folks LOVE Cigar Bars. It was probably a legit rating but happened to be mostly black folks who go there.

I wish they’d give a similar feature for Indian-owned hotels and service stations.


Would be handy because they are really hard to find.

Searched it with the map hovering over both Mobile and Baldwin County. Absolute gold.

then why not say that instead of saying he will make sure to not visit black own businesses for any other reason but that they are black owned


The rest of us got what he was saying. Why didn't you?

Where is the Hispanic owned feature? I'd like that to find a quality Mexican restaurant.



Is there a way to guarantee an authentic Japanese guy when getting hibachi? It is hard hide disappointment when you get Juan or Tom. I'm sorry. It's not racist if I like your race.

Agreed. Bad choice of words. I meant the wealth gap that exists between black people and white people overall. Black kids are much more likely to grow up in poverty as compared to a white child.

That's what I was addressing with my post. With more thriving black businesses, that gap can begin to decrease, even if just a little bit



The biggest reason for poverty is society’s promotion against family values. The lack of the family unit.

What about the Christian-owned businesses that put the little fish (ichthys) in their ads? Or the stores that have a rainbow flag decal on the window?


As soon as Google creates that logo and pushes it up in their hit algorithm to jump ahead of other businesses , we'll talk about that.

Why does the race of the owner matter if you aren't using this for discrimination (one way or another)?
