Don't Support Companies that Advertise as "Black-owned?"

I patronize local small businesses over big chains. I don't care who owns them...They are in my community trying to make a go of it and will try them at least once...If I am treated like a good respectable customer I will go back. YOu want the real unvarnished truth...The only business I don't patronize are those that I know are owned by Muslims. That goes back to my mental health issues from things that happened on deployments that I have a hard time getting over. ..and that's about all I have to say about that. Anyone else I have no issues if their prices are competitive and they treat me with respect as a customer.

We favor patronizing local stores in the town, the county and then the region as we live near a county line. We try not to do franchises and try our damndest to keep our dollars local

It is pandering. And I don't like panderers.

And, for the record, I have the same feeling about "female-owned" and "veteran-owned."
