They live in an upper middle class neighborhood that is mostly white that will probably not miss their business. Their neighborhood is probably filled with corporate owned businesses.because that american community is doing so much to help them out.THEIR ethnic community? So it's ok for them to racially segregate themselves? Shouldn't people that believe in racial equality support the American community in which they live? What they're doing is practicing racism, no matter how they try to justify it.
maybe if you read the articles I posted you would understand what I am refering to.
Are you going to go into a poor black neighborhood to support the failing businesses? I highly doubt it. You guys talk about Rev. Wright but what did he say that was not un true?
YOu guys like to live in fantasy land where everything is equal and that white people are supporting black businesses.
Do you call people who live in chinatown who only shop at chinese businesses, only deal with chinese people, marry only other chinese people racist? This is how other ethnic groups survive and a lot of black people are not surviving.
If this what they have to do to make their community better than what is the problem. Really get over it, you are not being hurt by it.
These folks are not just trying to keep their dollars in their community. They are traveling good distances in some cases in order not to patronize "white" businesses. If they were simply trying to shop locally, I could respect that.
This country is all about capitalism and networking, just now they want a piece of the pie. Every other ethnic group that came to the United States started out doing this, it is how they survived. The difference is there is a stigma with black people.
