Trust me, where I'm from in Arkansas the Hillbillies wouldn't take a donated organ unless they knew it came from a whitey. I'm on record as saying there is trash in every race no matter what part of the country your from.

Quote:
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.

Imo the problem really revolves around the lack
of a signficant black middle class. We can discuss the why forever. But until a black middle class arises with significant buying power, you will still see blacks (especially in the South in these times) heading straight for that Walmart. Its affordable. Mom and Pop stores do best in areas where people can afford to shop them, or its most convenient. a few businesses that otherwise wouldn't may benefit for a short period from this sort of nonsense but in the long run, rational behavior prevails. -God has spoken
