Our society is too far down the capitalistic “rabbit hole” that morals, ethics and plain ole good judgement are meaningless. Or rather, secondary at best.
If hurting “black businesses “ were REALLY an issue then we couldn’t boycott or protest ANY business/ industries.
It’s a matter of whether or not these actions affect MY ability to make money and survive in this flawed economic system
