Yeah, in the "old days" when all the business were own by white who didn't want to be in business with black, that left many blacks with no way out of the situation they were faced in.


Now, things are different. Think how the recession would be today if people were able to discriminate business contracts and associations.


How fast would the people who are out of the loop would go out of business while those in the loop make it through.
