It’s a nice gesture. But I can’t help but thinking it pretty much dehumanizes white business owners who saw their businesses destroyed.

It’s not a nice gesture if he is only helping one group of people while ignoring the other.

It’s not a nice gesture. It’s a racist action.

A couple of years ago I volunteered to serve as a panel member to listen to presentations being given by high-school seniors and rate them.
One young black man presented his research on the topic of black owned businesses. He actually did quite a fine job. It was well-researched and nicely presented with Powerpoint graphs and all.
After the presentation there was a Q&A and I asked him what got him interested in this topic. His response was shocking. “I really hate it when I go into a store in my neighborhood and see that it’s owned by an Indian or an Aaaaaa-Rab!”
So fired-up on the topic of racism, and yet he could not hear it coming out of his own mouth.
Too many young people are in need of intense deprogramming I fear.

Making a charitable donation is racist?
Maybe you need your head examined.

I think its so important that we put actions behind our words, Pearson told the TV network. Lets show that black lives matter by supporting these black-owned businesses that were adversely affected by these recent events, and not intentionally.
..."and all those white-owned businesses? They all deserved the vandalism, so **** them."
