    If your storefront is rented from an Armenian landlord, your books are overseen by a Vietnamese accountant, your staff are Hispanic, African American, and Filipino .. but you yourself have Northern European heritage, you're ****ed.

    A better way to support the growth of black business, is by raising black kids to be industrious and ambitious.

    Probably not entirely. Where I live there are more than enough white Progressives to carry the BS forward.

    It’s hard to say. If you swing the majority of black votes away from Democrats, I think that definitely screws the Democrats. The problem is, is that I don’t see nearly enough waking up and seeing it. It’s as clear as day that they are being used for their vote and their vote only.

    I'm not in America, so we don't technically have a 'black' vote. Non-whites here are actually slightly more likely to vote Right, than Left - as many are from conservative cultures (India, China, Vietnam - and historically from Southern Italy and Greece) which value personal responsibility and wealth building.

    Be thankful you don’t. As bad as it sounds, you don’t want it near your community. They aren’t all bad, obviously… but enough of them are to where it terrorizes and destroys the communities. Everyone else flees, and like clockwork, the community then turns to absolute crap. Crime skyrockets, real estate plummets, etc.. Explaining it to someone outside of the US, most don’t get it. Come take a trip to the US and walk the streets of Baltimore, Chicago or Detroit and see how welcome you are.

    I wouldn't waste much time thinking on how to swing the black vote. I just don't see it happening for the foreseeable future. They think they are getting something out of their political deal and maybe they are.

    I agree. I felt the same way when Trump even pandered for the black vote. It’s a waste of time. “Black unemployment is at an all-time low”. And guess what? They don’t care. It’s not jobs they even want. It’s as if they come out of the womb and are instantly given a Democratic ballot. It’s unbelievable.

    almost every company is diverse nowadays, what is a white company?

    I guess if it's not labeled a black company, we must assume it's white?

    It's actually very believable. Blacks perceive the Democrats as the party that likes and believes them and takes their side. That may not translate into good jobs or education or any of the more standard fare through which middle class whites view politics, but it then becomes the party they trust. They don't trust Republicans. Think of the major politicized cases of the past few years Trayvon, Michael Brown, George Floyd (PBUH)...which side have Republicans generally fallen on compared to which side Democrats have? The Democrats know politics is all about who/whom, and Republicans talking about "law" and "evidence" is just going to enrage people who think those are mere excuses to commit genocide against them.

    The evidence doesn't agree with you. Trump brought more Black and Hispanic voters voting GOP than your standard boiler plate GOP politician. You probably don't understand why but that's OK.

    Well golly, will you believe it if you see it from BLM's own website? Look HERE:

    Spend your money on exclusively black stores. Sounds like a whitey boycott to me. Sorry UA, but I'll be enjoying MY Christmas. Can't say the same about these guys or their liberal enablers.

    You're wrong there, TAL. "Black Lives Matter has been challenging people to “dream of a #BlackXmas,” to intentionally use our economic resources to disrupt white-supremacist-capitalism ..."

    Disrupt white supremacist capitalism? That sounds like a green light to loot stores to me.

    So any more evidence needed that this group is as racist as the KKK and no better? Yup. Wonder how many politicians and celebrities will keep siding with these animals?

    I understand the main point of BLM. I even agree with them on some of their key points, regarding systemic racism.

    Their tactics are absolutely insane! They are pissing off people like me, who are otherwise sympathetic to their cause. I refuse to feel guilty for being born white and I refuse to discriminate based on color.

    These idiots will fail magnificently.

    I'd like to see them try.

    Almost all big purchases are made from corporations these days.
    Many have tried only patronizing small businesses but it's really really hard.

    Maybe they could even do a reality television show about someone who tries not to buy anything from big corporations for 1 year.

    Even the homeless would be in big trouble if they were not able to buy from big corporations.

    Here's one more irony. During the "Civil Rights" movement, they were complaining about some white business owners not taking the money of blacks.
    And now they want to do that and think it is a good idea??

    Geese, which is it, make up your mind.
