BUY BLACK, JACK!

Well the racial crisis in America has finally been solved! No, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have not become the Chocolate Messiah’s new ambassadors of benevolence; instead, we have been asked to BUY BLACK.

The Empowerment Experiment is now at hand. Yes, that’s right instead of only buying things from a white owned business which became the trade of choice in the 1950’s, people are now asked to only buy their goods from black-owned businesses. This is a major step forward in race relations, not to mention a clear and concrete way of telling the world that we are indeed color-blind!

According to their website, “The Empowerment Experiment exists because we are not doing enough to support Black business.” Yes I agree. It’s been far too long that the Koreans and Chinese have had the corner on the market in business. Those hard working orientals have enough support, it’s time for us to go black.  The Japanese have sushi and automobiles so they’ll be just fine and the Hispanic community, of course, has more yard businesses, maid services, home-remodeling and taqueria work to last another eon.  So forget about them. And don’t even get me started with the Vietnamese, they practically own the pedicure world. And Native Americans? Can you say “Reservation gaming” ! ?

Maggie Anderson, one of the movement’s founders, said in  Fox News interview , “It’s like, my people have been here 400 years and we don’t even have a Walgreens to show for it.” New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin was ecstatic about the plea for social justice, “This is better than a chocolate city! I think I might weep with glee.”

Let’s circle the wagons and buy black, Jack! It is the least we can do to understand the African-American experience.
