A better idea is to join together with other family members and friends and START A BUSINESS.

Let's qualify that, start a business that isn't centered around selling illegal narcotics.

Does that include half black because I bet they are still buying Obama’s crap?

Question: If I champion a “buy white” movement will I be celebrated as a community leader and get my name in the papers and guest appearances on TV talk shows?

How about refusing to take any government payments which come from taxpayers who are Crackers?

Does that mean blacks will stop shopping at Walmart?

All these folks are doing is spitting on the memory of the real civil rights heroes who in many cases, literally put everything on the line in order to end “separate but equal” policies so that blacks and whites could shop in the same stores and enjoy the same goods and services.

So much for that whole MLK “don’t judge people by the color of their skin, but on the content of their character” mularkey.

If white people turn the tables on them, black owned businesses are going to be in a whole lot of trouble. So much for the Obama administration transcending race.

Would they buy from a black conservative owned business?

“We have to believe that black businesses are just as good as everybody else’s.”

These idiots are so typically socialist, they will inevitably fail. Any criteria that doesn’t include a wise purchase, for the sake of the item itself, is foolish, and will lead to a diminution of quality. Therefore, Obama will make them czars any day now. They’ve passed the “stupid” test.

Maggie and John Anderson of Chicago vowed four months ago that for one year,......

This is a recycled news story. I read about this "movement" at least a year ago, maybe more.

With blacks being 13 % of the population overall they are ALWAYS going to have a hard time finding businesses to shop at for all their needs .

"It's like, my people have been here 400 years and we don't even have a Walgreens to show for it."

What a stupid ignorant statement. There are plenty of black owned independent drug stores all over the country

I think your very good point would be lost on these folks. I think we’re going backward.

HAving a car that is actually black sounds kind of extreme. We need to be more nuanced and provide out skin color as a RGB hex value.

Y’know, I don’t mean this in any sort of racist way, but just discussing the reality of the world in which we live:

If I were to try to live a “normal” life within the current US culture and not buy anything made in China, my family would be seriously affected. I know, because I actually tried it.

If I were to try to do the same by avoiding products produced by “black owned” companies, it would have no impact on our family whatsoever. None.
