    Black Couple Only Shopping at Black-owned Businesses

    Check out this video: Text Do you think that it's racist for a black couple to only shop from black-owned businesses? In this situation, where they are trying to support their own community, and not boycotting white- or Asian- or Hispanic-owned businesses, I don't think so. To me, it's no...
