Thread: Am I the only one who finds this foolish?

They are going to buy products from only 'black' owned businesses. This is supposed to help fix the economic situation of the 'black' community. I honestly don't see the point in this at all, it isn't going to fix the problems in the communities, as they are fair deeper rooted than just business. Look at the education they receive, more look at the education that is provided, and what they decide to walk away with. When I can talk to two people from the same school, same classroom, same age, and get two totally different styles of speech, two completely different levels of intelligence, and I can see complete disregard to certain things in one. While the other embraces such things.

This whole social experiment is nothing more than blatant racism and idiocy. You want to help the black community, put information out there, help them, don't just spend money at black owned business because this isn't going to fix the problem. If you are being so lazy as to just spend your money at a black business rather than to go as far as volunteering time at a recreational center, or another place that causes more stimulation in the younger generation.

Basically I find it to be very foolish.

Basically it is almost segregation if only whites shop at white businesses, and only blacks shop at black businesses like said couple says will fix things.
