re: Google Maps now displaying a pop-up to "search for Black owned businesses"

Those are businesses I won’t be visiting.

This is the problem. I couldn’t give a shite less who owns the business. But if you tell me “you should do business here”, im gonna go the opposite way just because. Same thing goes for masks

How do they know the race of the business owners?

I clicked it and had Walmart pop up.

ETA; Nevermind. Just saw the answer to my question above. Thanks.

This is horribly racist and the Hispanics should be pissed. Nobody is saying their lives matter even though they make a large part of our population

‘Black owned’ usually signifies that they received grant money to start up their business vs folks who save or borrow and put their own necks on the line

So essentially tax payer money goes toward grants to ensure black owners can compete with an advantage, now big tech is trying to give those businesses another edge. America is no longer free market or free

There won’t be many of those

Ironic since Google is not a black owned business.

Before things like this, it never dawned on me to care about the race of the owner of a business I go to

Man I’d be embarrassed to belong to such a pandered to demographic that is given so many handouts, preferences and programs but still manages to always be in a shitshow state.

Trillions thrown their way yet every single area with a majority black population and black leadership turns into a 3rd world shithole with a swiftness. Doesn’t matter if it’s Detroit, Jackson MS, Liberia or South Africa.

This is actually quite beneficial. Now you know the most dangerous parts of a city.

That’s my point. Adverse reaction.
