Are y’all excited about Google’s new “black owned business” feature?

It looks like businesses have to register themselves for it.



I’m sure there’s little chance that it will backfire.

I was just in Chattanooga and we wanted to go to a cigar bar, so my wife googled the highest rated cigar bar and it lead us to the ghetto. We walked in and it was like that scene from Animal House. We were the only white people there and they sure were shocked to see us

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

Came here to post exactly this.


I've looked up the ones in my area and know where I won't be doing business.

If there was a function showing which minority business owners looked at the option and said "nah, frick that. My race doesn't matter, only my service or product", I'd use them in a heartbeat.

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

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

To be fair to that particular black owned business, we were treated to karaoke night in the hood, complete with black women scantily clad and bouncing on the floor, but the girl who took care of us was very nice and accommodating. Excellent cigar choices as well.

I’m just almost certain google artificially propped that place up because of black ownership and that’s bullshite.

I use DuckDuckGo and don’t interact with Google in my day to day life

I love oxtails. They're expensive as hell though.

I like them, too.
And they are definitely pricey.

Maybe he’s suggesting he wouldn’t visit a business that was trying to use the owner’s race to attract customers instead of their product/services.

But seriously, wtf has happened to this country. I know we're all getting use to the bullshite but how many election cycles will this crap work on the idiots in this country

I remember Larry Elder coining the term "Victicrat" what seems like 25 yrs ago now. Trump absolutely Brinks trucked the black community and they still hated him

You know, Asian Americans, Hispanics, people of Indian descent, etc. should really be pissed about all this BS. No one seems interested in them in the least or in helping their kids get into college or get a job. I guess they are too busy working to pay attention.
