This - on the heels of "Search for Black-owned Businesses near you".



Is this not a clear admission that blacks and women are incapable of operating on a level playing field??

Pretty much every service is doing this. Yelp even has a filter for black owned.

Which of used is a disadvantage to every other business owner.

I support many black owned businesses (probably some without knowing it)

Black business owners aren't the ones that need our help. They've already made it past the shitty culture.

Nah. Few people other than the government shop based on race. What it is - it’s Google poking the Right in the eye because it’s fun and they know conservatives will waste time bitching, but will never fight back. .

If I used google I might would use that feature to decide what business NOT to go to.

Google is creepy with their commercials where they have typing texts in the search field. It’s like they are saying “we know what you’re thinking”.

They will keep doing this until they are physically and financially punished for doing so.

Google (and Amazon) need to be broken up. They have too much power.

So where do they get the info?

Is there a big online sign up site to show eligibility for token buying? Do they check? Is there a penalty for straight lying about it?

How many "women-owned" businesses are actually proxies for their husbands gaming the system?
