Walmart is disgusting.

White people do it all the time they just don't make it known.
Really? Do you have any evidence to support that claim? I know a lot of white people and they don't care who owns the businesses they patronize with the possible exception of Walmart (white owned) where most of my white friends refuse to patronize.
In fact, there are several Asian owned markets here that the whites I know patronize regularly.
There's an Asian market down the street from where I work and I like to go there and find unusual new foods to try. The owners seem very nice, they sometimes give me extra sweets.
Why don't your friends shop at WalMart? How can you afford not to?

Because of the way Walmart does business and the way it treats their employees. I shop there ONLY because it's the only place in town where I can get size 12 velcro fasten shoes for adult men for my autistic child who can't tie shoes. Otherwise, I wouldn't shop there either, and I always check all the other stores before resorting to Walmart.
Are we now going to be forced to redefine the term "Black Market?"
That and "Black Hole," "in the black," "angel food cake," "devils food cake,"
More Whites play that game than Blacks.

Possibly because there's TENS OF MILLIONS more whites in the U.S. than there are blacks....???

I think it's because white people are evil.

Somehow, I think that if a white family decided to go out of their way to only patronize white owned business' the story would be written much differently.Oak Park couple travel far and wide to buy only from black-owned businessesEbony Experiment encourages other African-Americans to do the same

Buying black
John and Maggie Anderson read a bedtime story to their children Cori, 2, and Cara, 3, at their Oak Park home on March 2, 2009. The family is conducting what they call the "Ebony Experiment", spending this year buying all their goods and services from black-owned businesses only.
Maggie Anderson drives 14 miles to buy groceries, which might seem curious given that she lives in bustling Oak Park. She and her husband, John, patronize gas stations in Rockford and Phoenix, Ill. They travel 18 miles to a health food store in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood for vitamins, supplements and personal care products.
The reason? They want to solve what they call "the crisis in the black commu- nity." They want to, as they say, "buy black."
The Andersons, African-Americans who rose from humble means, are attempting to spend their money for one year exclusively with black-owned businesses and are encouraging other African-Americans to do the same. It is part experiment, part social activism campaign.
They call it the "Ebony Experiment."
