Do you think people saying “support black owned businesses” is a racist statement? (Page 2)

[TexasRed95]

No it isn't racist at all. How could it possibly be racist?

[ToastyOats]

Of course! Lets all be racist! Im tired of having to pretend to like people.

[Drzen]

Not racist but why black business? For example Why not Mexican business or falafel business?

[Smegskull]

I think stating that anything matters without qualifying or contextualising is purely performative and egocentric.

[EnglishEuropean]

Yes, it's like saying "Let's put the honkeys out of business."

[Lunatic1]

As a concept, perhaps. I always choose businesses I frequent by quality, not by who runs it.

[Anonymous]

Why do white people want to be oppressed so bad lol

[OddBeMe]

Just as much as “support small businesses” is anti-corporations.

[TheMijopapi]

Na but then white people should also be able to say support a white owned business. It is only fair.

[Anonymous]

not at all, because growing up you see more successful white people than blacks. so when people say it they’re supporting the success of most of them coming from a poor community and doing something good with their life. things are getting a bit diverse which i like i see way more black models, news reporters, nurses and more.

[Asker]

What you are saying is literally racism against black people. You are saying that black people aren't good enough to be successful without the help of other races. Also over all Asians are more successful than white people so can white people say "support white owned businesses" since they aren't the most successful race?

[Opinion Owner]

no it’s almost the truth you don’t see that many black doctors etc. you don’t see white people in poor neighborhoods.. where there’s mainly violence. that’s good for Asians blacks have received more racism than anton body since the 1990s haven’t you heard stories of smart blacks grades being messed with etc. when people say “support black business” were praising their work that’s all because we know how hard it is. how about you live in a poor community and see what wonderful job resources you have smh.. and what great education you have compared to private schools. i have white friends and i love them dearly as well so shush

[Opinion Owner]

since the 1920s*

[Asker]

I do live in a poor community. 90 percent of the people who live on my street live in welfare 😂. You know nothing about me.

[Opinion Owner]

okay cool It was just an assumption & i never said i did know you lol now what 😂

[Asker]

So can I assume a bunch of stuff about a black person and it be ok? Or is it only ok to do that to white people?

[Opinion Owner]

it’s not okay do to it with either race but it is important to see the main differences and similarities between things. Don’t try and act new to what you’ve been seeing for years😂. is it okay to say that about Asians, yes because it’s most likely the truth just like what i’m saying is most likely the truth. good day sir

[haphazard]

Why doesn't it say "support poor owned businesses" instead then? Hate to break reality to you but there are poor white people and rich black people in the country too. The fact that you ignore this fact and promote people support black business regardless, will always resemble racism which I'm sure is why you posted this anonymously.

[Opinion Owner]

imagine all the talents during the civil rights movement that could of helped black people now and made them born into wealth or even middle class. also do your research I know there some poor people that are not black lol. go to any poor community and tell me which race you see the most? I grew up seeing nothing but whites on a TV screen even disney had some racist cartoons back then. yeah it’s good to to bring race up all the time but you go live in a poor community and bad schools where bullying is 10x worse for smart, nice kids who don’t bother anyone trying to make it out.

[Opinion Owner]

it’s not good to bring up race all the time *

[haphazard]

You didn't answer my question. Interesting to note that communists were behind the civil rights movement and only wanted to use blacks for their own agenda. Even MLK himself was a known member of a communist group. Interesting that it's the same people that are behind the BLM movement of today. Even the leaders of the movement are self-proclaimed Marxists. Random point you made about TV but that wasn't my experience watching television growing up. There was a black character in every cartoon, rap music on the music channel, and mostly black people on the black channel. I honestly don't know what you're talking about. I went to a middle class high school and both me and a friend were bullied and kicked out for no reason. In fact, I experienced less bullying at the poor high school I went to. I agree focusing on race is counter-productive.

[Opinion Owner]

It depends on what BLM movement program you follow because I know many that i could take that are helping out communities and such. it’s just like when you donate somewhere do you want to do your research first. so don’t try and put one bad BLM program you saw and voice it for the other big great programs out there. also everyone has a different experience but I did a paper on bullying & gang violence and trust me it’s way worse at “poor schools”. especially if teachers don’t do much. and yes there were blacks in the entertainment environment it’s how many is what i’m talking about.. look up how many blacks and Asians have won grammys compared to white people not that we care but still.

[haphazard]

I don't know what paper says what I'm just telling you what my experience was. The official BLM organization in the US is lead by Marxists, ran by Marxists, and funded by Marxists. I heard the other BLM organizations are not legit like the one who's leader was threatening to burn down cities. I don't know what to tell you about there being less blacks in entertainment, they are only 13% of the population.

[Opinion Owner]

please give me sources i’ll read into that one bad program you think speaks for other organizations BLM have. even it if has a bunch of followers or such people like me do research before donating and we don’t follow others. but anyway people have it way worse than others that why i support black owned business that i’m interested in not because we want to feel superior.

[haphazard]

Won't let me post a link but look up "Greater New York BLM" that was one of the ones making threats. There were others making threats that didn't specify which BLM they were, and then there was the shooting of 8 year old Secoriea Turner in Atlanta by BLM activists.

[Opinion Owner]

that’s one of the many organizations though you can’t base one bad BLM program and think oh that’s what others are standing for

[Anonymous]

Oh my god, that’s going way to far…just because your skin is a certain colour means you get free promotion? I don’t think that’s fair.

[Calgarydirty69]

yes, it is, why is it not raceist for black people to drop the N-bomb

[karaspara]

No it's no different to supporting local business

[White_Boy_506]

LMAO you know those same people would be angry if someone said “support white owned businesses”

[doopayo]

Literally no, how tf is that even racist my guy

[White_Boy_506]

Is support white owned businesses racist?

[doopayo]

Everyone supports white owned business. People are saying support black owned businesses because we obviously want to support our community and bring wealth to it.

Kind of like how Asians do with there’s. The black community does the same. It’s not racist

[Kingofkings1992]

“Literally no “ she says. What a wildly unintelligent introduction

[doopayo]

@kinfofkings1992 imagine not having anything meaningful to add to the conversation so instead you throw dry insults?

Grow up ♥️

[Kingofkings1992]

Maybe you can teach me how to be a grown up. You obviously have so much life experience

[AmandaYVR]

No. Many people probably avoid them.

[Grubhub]

You do know everybody is a person of color besides whites even Asians? Only reason why some cultures have white skin is because they wanna be white so they breed with Europeans. Everybody is black besides Europeans. The devil is a white man

[AmandaYVR]

@Grubhub "The devil is a white man"? Uh... I don't believe in junk like that. I believe the devil and god are manmade constructs.
But my point was that encouraging supporting black-owned businesses is not racist because it's not prejudice or against something, it's FOR something. Which is different.

[weeee]

@Grubhub "why some cultures have white skin is because they wanna be white so they breed with Europeans." 💀💀💀💀

[Anonymous]

it makes me want avoid them, to avoid the politics behind it.

[normalice]

It's more of a "soft reparations" thing.

[Asker]

Reparations for something that didn’t happen to you. Very smart indeed.

[normalice]

What? I guess I'm not clear on what wedge you're trying to drive, here.

[SynthKobra]

How is it a racist statement

[Anonymous]

Anything involving skin colors is racist

[Gwenhwyfar]

[Smashingdoozy]
