FOOD FOR THOUGHT: WHY DO BLACK PEOPLE DEFEND RACIST COMPANIES THEY BUY FROM? (1509 hits)


When a well known, or racially suspicious company is known for speaking ill of black people, Many black people will try to justify and defend why they still continue to shop there.

Like when Hollister, Lush Cosemtics, Barneys, Asian Wig stores, and that fancy purse company (don't know remember the name, neither do I care) said that blacks don't have enough money to shop there, the black people defended the stores, and still shop there.

Why?

Because they still want to use the products, either for the status symbol or because they like it. And people don't like being political when it disrupts what they want to do.

Truth B. Told
Simply put they love white people. They love white people more than they understand economics. They are blind consumers. They love being consumers more than they have pride in being BLACK.

Truth B. Told
because they're ignorant, they want to be accepted into this society so bad that they'll overlook racist bull**** from people and businesses, irony is I've never bought nothing from the companies you mentioned, but if i walk in a store where i don't like the vibe or energy the clerks give me i will walk out without so much as a backwards glance, their asses won't get a damn dime from me
