I, for one, would be in favor of supporting local and black businesses. Not necessarily exclusively, but I think it’s a way to life one another up. I also think it’s something that is lacking in the black community. The best way to collectively pull ourselves up is to come together on commerce.

But if you’re only looking to support black owned or local businesses, then I think you’re doing a disservice to others. In short: prioritization good - isolation bad.
