I shop mostly at Amazon these days and I'm sure I'm much more harshly judged for that.

Not OP, but I wouldn’t consider an occasional gift or takeout “extra money to shop.”

Why? I just ordered $2000+ worth of stuff at Lowes.
I’m glad you bought at Lowe’s! That’s my point.

No, and I don't care even if people are judging. I'll go where I want.

I think for the most part people are encouraging others to go out of their way to ensure they are including black owned businesses in their shopping/dining/business routines, not to make sure you patronize them exclusively. No one wants the black employees of white owned businesses losing their jobs.

Absolutely not.

No! Not in the least.

I have not felt judged and will not base my patronage solely on the race of the business owner.

What seems fake to you about supporting black-owned businesses?

I felt it on two separate occasions recently. 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.
Tonight I was talking with my neighbor and mentioned where we got takeout food from yesterday. She said they got food from ABC and were only supporting black and minority owned places for the foreseeable future.
It seems so fake to me but are others really doing this?
