    Default "Buy Black" isn't racist...why?

    Maggie and John Anderson of Chicago vowed four months ago that for one year, they would try to patronize only black-owned businesses. The "Empowerment Experiment" is the reason John had to suffer for hours with a stomach ache and Maggie no longer gets that brand-name lather when she washes her hair. A grocery trip is a 14-mile odyssey.

    Ok, this in my opinion is seriously racist...not patronizing a merchant because of their skin color, or to spin it another direction, to only buy from a merchant because he or she is black. People are certainly free to spend their money how they please, but where is the outrage? The backlash?
    Where is the ACLU?

    At one time blacks were not allowed to shop at white only stores, this is a fact that needs to be addressed, and has been. Could you imagine if some dirtbag refused to serve someone, or sell to someone because of their skin color? Intolerable and no excuse...and here we are promoting the same policy, just in the other direction.

    Why is a racist movement being promoted as empowerment?

    Racism is only racism when whites target coloured people. Which is basically saying that whites are superior and racist just again.

    Buy black or buy white makes no difference, they are all made in China, the only ones you are truly helping are the Chinese.

    So...are you disputing the story? Or, are you just taking a shot at Fox News?

    And don't be silly seraosha. Black people can't be racists.

    See, it's the double standard that gets me pissed off.

    ^---- Me too!

    Actually, it's the double standard that makes me lose respect for "the oppressed"'s original complaint.

    Though, if you chain some people together and go around saying "buy blacks", it's suddenly racist.

    You're missing the nuance. They very well may be racists, but what they're trying to do isn't racist per-se. They aren't telling others where to go and they aid they were trying it for a year. It's not much different than an observant Muslim or Jew buying only Halal or Kosher products; their choice of stores is naturally limited.
