There really is not much you can buy from the government that I know of. That is the only thing I know that is run by blacks. I am afraid to go down to the hood where they may own some companies anyway.

Reference to the movie Coming to America. Soul Glo should be booming too.

Was that the Eddie Murphy one? If I go to the McDonalds in my neighborhood, I’m frequenting black-owned businesses. One of them has way too many youngsters working who won’t pull a decent ice cream cone. At the other one, though, you get one from the big young lady working there and she’ll give you about 5 inches of ice cream. I noticed the same thing in the hospital cafeteria: get your food dished up by the women who love to eat and you’ll get some very nice portions. Steer clear of the skinny ones. They think everyone should be as abstemious as they are.

The Colt 45 pic brings back memories.

A friend’s grandfather was a big wig with the brewery in my hometown when we were kids in high school.

Their mom/dad had a huge party and granddad made the nice gesture of bringing them about a dozen cases of Colt 45 which they promptly hid deep in the garage lest their guests see such an abomination.

And there it sat for a year until we started pilfering it a six at a time. We wiped out about 2/3 of it by the time the parents got around to cleaning up the garage and disposing of the remainder while scratching their heads trying to remember how many cases were there to begin with.

Wow. “Racist Shopping Experiment” becomes a movement. This could really suck for some ethnic/racial group. It wouldn’t be whites, asians or hispanics, either.

“I am afraid to go down to the hood where they may own some companies anyway.”

Through the internet, over the years, I have bought a number of Brother printers for my company. I have had good luck with them, but I can buy something else, if we are going to play this game.

FUBU went FUBAR? Something tells me a buy from “whites only” campaign would get an ever so slightly different news treatment. So much for “post-racial.”

Obviously is just that. When the race of the owner is the only reason for transacting business it is RACISM in a very pure form. The question now is what if a cucasian, did the same thing and announced that to the world?

Yep, Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. James Earl Jones played the King.

Buying "white" or "yellow" or "tan" would be racist, of course.

Only blacks are entitled to the title "Race-victims."

“Buying “white” or “yellow” or “tan” would be racist, of course.”

If it is easy to buy from black only businesses it seems then that whites, browns and other colors are “under-represented” and the govt should step in, right? ;0)

I have a Black Car, does that count?

The reform Amish might be interested in it, for car bombings. < /sarcasm>
