Is GM a black owned business?

"Hatred is hatred no matter who is doing the hating"

You're spreading the false, dangerous, and obnoxious notion that the righteous hatred of evil is equivalent to the evil hatred of righteousness.

The continuing racist fantasy that 12 % of the population can set up a separate, parallel economy is sheer delusion. These crazy people are driving 14 miles for groceries, which tells you something about the depth of their loathing for non-blacks (not just whitey).

No one is stopping anyone with the ambition and temperament to run their own businesses on the basis of ethnicity.

Of course... my comments were not meant that way. I also just wish that this racist crap would go by the wayside but seems that too many want it to continue for their own political purposes.

Today, that seems more to be the black groups unfortunately. It has become a group of pro racial groups instead of a character biased group. Too bad though, it only elevated the anger of those that want a racial equality understanding...

Seems that Martin Luther King’s ideas are dead after all but for all the wrong reasons...

Here is a better idea. While watching TV commercials,
particularly the ones that make the “white guy” the idiot and the minority the “expert”, simply refuse to buy the product or service. Also, send the company an email and tell them what you have done and why you have done so.

This is the only example I could think of.

I really didn’t mean to think they were “that way”. :)

I think this particular story is another example of our nation starting to burst at the racial seams.

I think it is appropriate to link to some good articles by Fred on this subject from roughly ten years ago.

http://www.fredoneverything.net/Blowup.shtml
http://www.fredoneverything.net/Stability.shtml
http://www.fredoneverything.net/Underclass.shtml
http://www.fredoneverything.net/Opportunity.shtml
http://www.fredoneverything.net/Assimilation.shtml

Every one is worth contemplating within the context of our current situation.

Their experiment shows how wrong-headed the “movement” is. Black people shouldn’t concentrate on buying black (socialist consumerism), but instead should concentrate on creating new businesses. That is where the real freedom and power lies. “Buy Black” is a thought that lock one into a consume-only mindset, a taker, not a producer.

Yep, sign of the times, especially with our current president!

Exactly! These businesses should be all about expanding their business to all - not specializing in race! Maybe that means that they should not succeed! They either have to be a bit smarter about business interests or just go away...

I concede your point - it is good to hate evil.

So I hate this little racist scheme.

It is all over yahoo news right now, how a white couple refused to sell their house to a black couple. That, apparently, is bad, because it’s not a ‘movement.’

. . . experiment becomes a movement[.]

Please. Do not tell us what kind of movement.

It's bad enough it's racist.
