This isn't something that's difficult to find out, if you see it as important. Many people don't and that's their prerogative, but you and others claiming this is some kind of mystery or would take up far too much of your time sound more willfully ignorant than anything else. No one is saying you have to, it's just not at all difficult to figure out if you choose to.

The other night I wanted to order sushi and also wanted to support a Black-owned restaurant. Unfortunately, both could not be accomplished with the same order (at least in my area), so I enjoyed my sushi. Maybe next time it'll go another way.[/quote]

Yeah, no. I'm not going to feel shty about supporting my Greek-owned local taco place. For a bunch of Greeks, they make awesome tacos.

You sound nuts. Nobody is asking you to feel shitty about supporting Greek and taco places, nobody said every meal should be from a black owned business.

the leaps people make when somebody asks to support a business is insane. Why the ire and deflection? You can't find 1 black owned business to support every now and again... that is literally insane.[/quote]

I'm not going to support them just because they're black. Do they have good products? Then sure, I'll buy them.

Why am I nuts? This entire thread is about shaming people for not going out of their way to support black businesses.[/quote]

Wut? You can't find 1 black business that has a "good product"?

You are nuts because this is not about shaming people, it's about saying to be conscious of black businesses and support them when you can. It's no different than saying "buy local" ... what is insane is that you literally think saying "buy from a black business" is shaming and saying "buy local" is not. [/quote]

First of all, I never said I can't find one. I said I'm not going to support a black owned business just because it's black owned, if the product isn't good.

Also, did you read the OP? The entire thing is about her being shamed for not supporting black owned businesses. [/quote]

Nobody asked you to go to a place with a bad product.

If I said, support your local business do you say "no, im not buying a bad product"... but you say that when asked to buy at a black business... I know you don't see how f'd up your way of thinking is, but it is. Hopefully one day you will see it.

No, she was not shamed, she decided they were shaming her... but they were not. Just like if they said buy local and she decided to have Amazon deliver, was she shamed, no. But all of a sudden, it's black owned business so she is making up the "being shamed" part. Nobody said, shame on you. [/quote]

They absolutely were shaming her, but you're just going to see what you want to see. Just like you decided I had somehow assessed that there are no black businesses with good products. [/quote]

No they absolutely did not shame her. Just like if I say support breast cancer and you support leukemia, I am not shaming you. Or I say support the baseball team and you support the football team, I'm not shaming you.

Also you are the one that said I am not buying from a black owned business because I only buy good products. But now that we cleared up that was my bias, I would love to hear what product you found at a black owned business that you love... I'd love to support them too.[/quote]

I'll give you the 2nd example, but how is this not shaming: " I was talking with a friend and mentioned I went to a local shop on Saturday to pick up a gift. She asked if I had missed her FB post about black owned businesses in our town. I said I hadn’t but I knew exactly what I needed and that they had it based on their Instagram. She just said” hm” and moved on."

Also I did not say "I don't support black businesses because I only buy good products." I said this, "I'm not going to support them just because they're black. Do they have good products? Then sure, I'll buy them." Stop twisting my words.[/quote]

So every time somebody says Hm they are judging you.  :shock:

Glad you will now be supporting black businesses now that we both understand they have great products and services to offer. [/quote]

I never said they didn't! JFC, what is your problem?! I said the race of the owner isn't the criterion I use; the quality of the product is. Can you read? [/quote]

You said you only buy good products. You say black owners do make good products. So you will buy from a black owned business. Great, do share what you buy. [/quote]

Yeah ... I never said otherwise.

But cool. [/quote]
