Buh-bye Kroger.

Frick that.

So now consumers have to absorb the cost of labeling groceries by the race of the owner?

No thanks. Wait til that labeling is done by someone making $15/hour.

Yeah. Let these Black owned businesses have 100% of the thirteen pct market share. After the last year or so, I will never knowingly support a black owned business or any other business that wants to promote their political agendas.



Not gonna happen. There are more guilty white liberals who support them than not.

Media and corporate America 1950s-2008: If only one day the whole world would be colorless, one huge ethnic melting pot. We should all treat everyone the same and sing Kumbaya.

Also Media and corporate America 2008-on: We must destroy everything white! White people are racist! White privilege is real!!!

Well, your credit card number is attached to you purchases, easy to score you.

Big Tech is already working on it or has installed it without telling anyone.

I will purposefully not buy any products with the label of the race making it on it. Just absurd.

The closest Kroger to me had to temporarily shut down about a year ago because of rat infestation. The one a little further away in the opposite direction takes a beating on NextDoor because they don’t enforce the mask rule.

Torn.

I guess that’s a half step up from the posters straight up saying they will never give money to a black owned business... but still not sure why you you’d skip out on a product because Kroger has a goofy initiative. Just go buy the groceries you like.

These idiots are really asking for a lawsuit.


It would be interesting if an owner of one of the companies sued over racial discrimination by saying they were getting marked as belonging to an undesirable race. Would they have to prove losses, or would simply being labeled/marginalized in such a way create standing and damages?

Kroger must be owned by right wing extremists. I have had it drummed into me that dims believe all races are equal and that color doesn't matter.

I feel like if you told a Civil Rights leader in the 50’s & 60’s that in 2021, food would labeled with the skin color of the owner, they would tell you something went massively wrong.

I’m guessing it is tied to their credit rating.
