Generally, Black business are ghetto and located in unsafe areas. ??
My extended family and I resided in Chicago’s Lawndale, Garfield Park and Austin communities (1955-2010). We saw then change from White to Integrated to Black. ??

Lol. That I don’t understand what you are getting at. Maybe it is due to poor grammar
Yes Aaron, you have bad grammar.
I have been actively doing the opposite. Avoiding buying from black business. No need to buy an inferior product for the sake of wokeness.
Sure, that will offset the Amazon incentives.
No need to buy anything in the ghetto because them folks had a great time looting stores for everything they needed during the peaceful protests.
