That's OK. As a small business owner, she will become conservative for most intents and purposes.

Better to assimilate as one chasing the American dream than to hate America. And she will set an example for others to follow.

Blacks and other "minorities" have benefited from Minority Loans for decades.

As long as the business is 51% "minority" owned, they qualify.

Once they get the money, they can use it for almost anything "business related."

And if they go bankrupt? Well, too bad for the bank.

If it sounds like the HUD scam depicted on an episode of the Sopranos, it is.

I’d think once someone is paying employees, they’d become a bit more conservative; the nonsense she’ll deal with will wear down patience fairly quickly.

Yup.... racist to the core. I remember the first time I stumbled on Black Entertainment Television and was stunned that it existed for the same reason.... imagine one stumbled across a White Entertainment Television channel.

Won’t matter if her employees don’t work. The company will be 1st considered for state and federal contracts which they could never fulfill just like the Reids and Pelosis get away with!

“I believe that with African Americans having a trillion dollar buying power that we have the power to invest in our own.

She better hope "her own" doesn't decide to riot and destroy her business. Does she know the stats of "her own" doing it to other black-owned businesses?

That is fine. They, not BLM, are doing what is needed in the black community. They will help build a community that is against crime, for families, and for pulling yourself up by your own initiative. The more successful they are, the fewer young black men will get caught up in crime, creating fewer police encounters with black men, improving the community’s perception of the police and improving the police officers perceptions of the folks they encounter in their work. THEY will help solve the true things - not racism - that deteriorates “black-police” perceptions, which is all the black on black crime.

I wonder when “BLM” Marxists will condemn these ladies for “acting white” by starting their own business and thus becoming capitalists?
