    I would prefer knowing my money is going to people who have been systematically disadvantaged for this nation’s entire history.

    I suppose your post could imply other minorities could be included but the way I read your comment gives off big WLM energy.

    Edit: spelling

      Yeah and I understand your thought process. However the entire point is to skip large corporations and buy food from local farmers. Again, why do they have to be black? Coming from a country not obsessed with race, the very mention of race prior to a product or service, seems strange and segregating in itself.

      Race should just be taken out of it, support your farmers. That is my point.

      And fuck off with the white lives matter shit. I would say the same shit to white farmers, Latino farmers etc. Race+service = bizarre.

        Because they were kept poor, imprisoned, and abused until at least 1965. So the kids born in the 1950’s had the first real chance to go to college. In reality though red lining continued right up into the 1980’s, making sure black people couldn’t get access to services and jobs because they were physically out of reach from the housing areas they had been pushed into decades prior. And job hiring racism still occurs to this day. It was in the 2010’s they did a study with applications that differed only by having an “ethnic” name or a “white” name.

        So until black people can access the same opportunities as white people there needs to be support. Everyone wants to assume this shit ended in 1865 or 1965 but not only did it not, it’s still going on.

            I’m just going to set aside the fact that this is your second reply to this comment.

            Are you seriously suggesting the US is in danger of an Apartheid government perpetrated by Black Americans?

            What are you paying for? Is someone forcing you to pay thousands of dollars a year to fund a scholarship or something?

            And the reason they get help is because your parent’s actions (not your grand parents) prevented black people your age from getting the same opportunities you got.

                Dude you’re the one who talked about the decisions your ancestors made. And literal pennies from your taxes to fund it.

            The victim complex of so many white people is truly fucking wild.

            Are you not already buying food anyway? No one is forcing you to do anything. But people are going to call you out for being so uninterested having an equitable society.

        Guy said he wanted to help people so have been and still are supposed and you took that as discrimination? I guess if we don’t help everyone all at once we shouldn’t help anyone?

            And this would be a great approach if systemic racism didn’t exist.

            Everyone isn’t treated the same, so helping them the same leaves people behind.

                Pay for it? How are you paying for it?

                Also there are programs that help non black poor people too. You seem like you’re not educated on this topic lol
