Is Walgreens unwilling to sell franchises to blacks?

Is it racist to only support black businesses? Of course it is. Imagine if a white guy said the same thing? It isn't as though there are all these businesses owned by blacks that are at a disadvantage because of that. I have no idea what color or nationality is of the owner of the supermarket i shop at, the gas station that I use or the restaurants that i frequent (except El Caporal). In 2009 what should matter is the price and service you get, not what color the owner is. Continuing to rationalize racist behavior isn't furthering the cause.
