  1. There is NO tide against black owned businesses. Keep this up and there will be. Pitting people against each other is not a good thing and that is just what this is all about. Racist? YES IT IS. Don't support this racist effort!

  5. Like MLK said to do, I'm judging people, including business owners, by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin.

  6. ^^^^ That's funny @9:06, I've always judged a store owner by the contents of their Store.

    It's wonderful that G.I.F.T. is set to give a hand up to black businesses. But it won't work in the long run. I've noticed, with black businesses, if you're not black you're not welcome. If black businesses could be more polite and welcoming to their non-black clientele, they would make more money which would lead to more success.

    19:45, no it isn't.

    When you accuse blacks of being racist, you reveal that you don't understand racism.

    In fact, the accusation is racist.

    Gee, "mainstream support"? Is that like a news jock strap? I so make my decisions based on mainstream support.....To do just the opposite.

  11. 9:51 - The owner usually isn't readily known, but if he or she is an a-hole, I don't care about the contents of their store, and they won't see me again, no matter what color they are.

  12. Says Byron who lives in a lily white town and where the colored folk know their place. Tell you what Byron how about you move to Kansas City Mo live over on the east side of town then tells how it is. Till then STFU as you don't know nothing about anything.

  14. Defund Buy Black Tuesday. It’s systematically racist.

  15. Is there a list of black owned businesses? That way I’ll know what places to avoid. I wouldn’t want the proprietor to be forced to take money from this racist, blue-eyed devil.

  16. There are exceptions to every situation, but most black businesses I’ve seen are very fly-by-night and poorly created/run. Many have the same degree of professionalism as a child’s lemonade stand.
