No, I do not think this is satire.

I buy from businesses that have good service and competitive prices.

I don't care what race or color the owner is.

“day that allows and encourages any non-Africans with a sense of human decency, who realize that Africa is the heart, birthplace and breadbasket of the world and she and her people have been disproportionately disenfranchised”
As a “non-African” I take offense to the assertion that I am guilty, according to the writer, of not having any “human decency” if I do not recognize Africa as the “heart” of the world. I am also wondering how a continent with millions of starving people is the bread basket of the world. If that is true, I mean if it is indeed the bread basket, then why are so many Africans in dire need of bread? Oh, well, what can one expect from a San Francisco newspaper?

Yet another plea from black liberals to judge them by the color of their skin. Sheesh.

On one hand it certainly is racist but, look at it this way, maybe its the beginning of a movement to stop being victims and help themselves like other ethnic minorities have over the years rather than looking for handouts from the country at large.

I think most ethnicities in this country have practiced this until they have become assimilated. If it improves their lot in life and relieves the taxpayer of a burden I say; bravo!

Meanwhile, a recent report puts the prevalence of illiteracy in Detroit at 47%. In a report of statistics from Virginia, ~2/3 of African American births were outside of marriage. Statistics from the CDC put the national percentage of unmarried births at 69% of all African American births (from 1999 data).

Of course none of that can possibly play any role in the problems encountered by American blacks... It's all because of racism and suppression...

Where are the Sharptons, Jacksons, and even Obamas voices in the context of these facts? What are their solutions? More money given to failing school systems? More money for family planning clinics? Do they really think those are the solutions? To think that blacks can't lift themselves out of this through their own talents and efforts is, in my view, the worse kind of racism, and it is people like Maxine Waters, and those that populate the ‘black caucus’ who are most guilty of that type of racism.

Color doesn't define talent or success in life. Conversely, if you take any child, of any color, and rob them of family support, and the inner strength that comes from believing in yourself and knowing that you are loved and supported, you can be well assured of a high percentage of underachievement and unhappiness.

I’d love to see the inner city rebuild its commercial base with local private money rather than my tax funds. It will also build a sense of ownership and pride.

The biggest problem in the Black community from my prospective is the victim mentality and the race hustlers milking the system. I like the idea of them solving their problems their way, with their ingenuity and innovation. The urban Black community has tremendous resourcefulness and potential that remains largely untapped.

I don’t support racism, and this is racism at its worst.
It should not matter what the color of the business owners.

After I read Kwanzaa and African Reparations Day, I quit. I was willing to show my support for Black businesses but not for those reasons.

My great Uncles died wearing Union Blue at Gettysburg—and they were abolitionists! One was sent to jail for his beliefs that all men were equal. I feel no guilt. My white guilt was purchased with their blood.
