Everyone has heard of the pink pound, the disposable income of the Gays but recently I have heard of the black pound and more specifically related to the topic of this cunting, Black Pound Day. Black Pound Day is a socio-economic movement that encourages consumers to spend their money in black owned businesses on the first Saturday of the month.
“It seeks to address the economic inequalities and imbalances affecting Black businesses and entrepreneurs in the UK and global diasporic communities” said founder Swiss, music artist from So Solid Crew. No, me neither. Presumably we can all help ourselves and walk out without paying and then cry “RACISM” like in culturally enriched Peckham then Swiss?
It would of course be too much to ask that a business stood on its own two feet and was a success because of sound financial acumen or that the goods and services that they were offering were of good value, high quality and reliable. A special day every month for white, Jewish or Asian owned businesses would immediately be denounced as discriminatory and have mobs of ‘anti-racists’ outside protesting.
As with affirmative action and positive discrimination in things like jobs, university placements or casting for acting roles, they just can’t do anything on merit can they? Everything is a conspiracy by old whitey to keep the black man in his place. It also raises the question much like support for wimminz football, of why don’t blacks themselves support black owned businesses the rest of the month? Surely they can’t be surviving on Gary Lineker getting his cornrows braided or Diane Abbott taming her fat arse with Spanx power pants?
Since I don’t like Caribbean hot sauce, need my shoes shined or wear a hair weave, I will be spending my hard earned in reassuringly white owned businesses.
