explain to me why you wouldn’t visit a business because the race of the owners again?
The point I’m sure he’s trying to make is “who the frick cares what the race of the owner is?” I want good food, good service, good selection, good atmosphere, etc. I don’t give a frick what color the person is that owns it.

Now on the flipside, If I’m out of town and I see a “Cajun Resturant”, some white guy named Thibodeaux or Boudreaux better own that motherducker.

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

That’s not what he said, but even if he did, is that not his right?

Or do you think he shouldn’t have a choice?

I'll bite. Not speaking for the other poster but how about because of the fricking attitudes towards whites in this country for no reason whatsoever beyond some perceived "privilege"

If a white person today told me they weren't comfortable eating at a black establishment in today's climate I wouldn't immediately process that as them being racist whatsoever. My wife and I had that exact same discussion before we left Atlanta last year

Does it tell you if the business owner had to opt in for it?

White man being pushed out.

We all were taught this in the 80s, but thought it would be naturally evolutive, not psycho South Africa (where the whites weren't the overwhelming majority).

Have you been paying attention at all?

Actions and words have consequences my man.

You can't shite all over white people and demand white people give up their houses to black people, make people kneel to black people in restaurants etc and expect people to be comfortable or motivated to go to black businesses/restaurants.

It doesn't work that way, sorry. But I'm sure it's all of the racist white people's fault as usual.

Any time you are using the internet to pick a place (restaurant, bar, hotel), drop down to street level and look at the cars parked there.

More than one set of rims, shut it down.

If I’m not at least a 45 minute drive from I-10 and I see a Cajun Restaurant, I steer clear.

So did they recommend the grape flavored Swishers or the traditional Black & Mild?

I guess you missed the part where a business has to select that they are black owned?

Any business, black or white, whose owners believe their race is more important than the level of service they provide, will not be a recipient of my money.

As soon as I hit submit I thought about that. I mean from Texas to Florida. I went to a Cajun Restaurant in Southern Cal about 10 years ago and swore I’d never do that again.

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


They have it. It's called Google.

Because oddly enough, even though the South is supposedly the racist epicenter of the entire known universe, most of the stuff he's describing is only happening in ultra-blue coastal cities.
