If you are black,spend your money with black business.
No shite,why don't you already do this?
For black businesses to be successful in this country,would be one of the best things that could ever happen.
Why doesn't it happen more?
What is the fricking problem?
This is something you can't blame on the government,because they sure as hell won't give a white guy any money to start a business.

I thought BLM was about police brutality, not “sticking it to white business owners?”

Black businesses typically lack the marketing budget to really get their services known to the public.

Also, admittedly most black owned companies have a limited array of services compared to white counterparts if we are talking about major corporate types.

As for small businesses, its not about amount of service as it is location. Nobody wants to invest capital in an area with higher crime rates or lack of viable employment options.

Now of course, all of these factors can be overcome. And it depends on the type of business.

Barber, Liquor Store owner, Mechanic body shop, Beautician.

Those are just a few successful models ive seen.

I'd prefer that they just stop spitting in food when they see whitey at the drive through.

Your goat started wearing ironic facial hair and sipping pumpkin flavored coffee?

Looks like they are exercising freedom of association,
and perhaps for the first time in a long time,
realizing that government forced desegregation may not have been so great after all.

I pretty sure that was one the tenants of Adam Smith's "A Wealth of Nations" - the market allows for the consumer to choose products from the most efficient produces so long as they are from the same race.

Do blacks really own enough businesses for your scenario to be a viable option?

Can you imagine the uproar and racist remarks if someone said to only spend your money at White Privately owned businesses if you are white?

The double standard is alive and well in America. Those who claim to be victims of racism actually create racism and are racists themselves.

Actually the Nation of Islam teaches this very thing, that blacks should be self-supporting.

As much as they are (rightly) criticized for their views against whites, they do not allow their adherents to drink, smoke, do drugs, or engage in promiscuous sex. If they have children they are expected to support them, whether or not they are married to the baby momma.
