In contrast to most of the comments here, I like this.

Earlier this year, I watched the first episode of Trigger Warning with Killer Mike (Netflix). In this episode he tried to spend a few days putting money only into black-owned businesses... It was a hard experience for him, and since then I have tried to be conscious of where my money goes, and if I have the option of selecting a black owned business intend to do so, and I am happy that there is an easy way for me to do that.

So, you're saying you're intentionally prioritizing businesses based on the owner's race. By doing so, you're making a statement, that the race of the owners is an important variable since it leads to a different economic outcome. You're denying ecomomic opportunities to other businesses based on their owner's race.

Congratulations, you're perpetuating racism.

Why don't you keep shopping where you usually do, wherever you think you get the best value for money and donate to a charity instead?

I honestly wanted to make this, but as a white person I opted to not as there is potential for harm.

Glad to see it, reading though the comments here really makes new feel like many commenters don't know the history of why black Americans are so economically deprived (in general, obviously there are exceptions).

Black wall Street is a piece of history to look up or reading seriously about the case for reperations (freakonomics had an interesting, multifaceted episode on it recently)
