When people were hunter-gatherers and the world's population was about 100,000 humans in total?
To everybody saying "reverse racism" or whatever your wording is to imply that buying specifically from black people is problematic, why? Do you think that you would have a hard time finding a white run CSA to buy? This is just a resource for people interested in supporting the black community and frankly I see any form of opposition to it as pretty blatant racism itself. I'll return from a Google search with what I find for other race specified CSA indexes in a bit.
I'm back,
https://www.queerfarmernetwork.org/
Here's an LGBTQ farm share directory. Is it reverse bigotry to purchase from them? I had to play with search terms a bit but a combination of CSA, farm share, agriculture share, and your chosen identifier should produce you results.
I am genuinely looking for an answer because I'm fucking baffled by this thread.
Some sort of brigading going on here, lots of comments with almost identical wording.

Why are Americans so obsessed with skin colour
It's a nation founded on racism and the back of race based slavery. That shit doesn't disappear overnight, unfortunately.

It's a bit sad that it's just the "black farmers". If possible, getting your stuff from a local market or even a farmer is always a good thing, no matter if it's a black or white farmer. I have that here in austria where I get most of my meat and cheese directly from the farmer and it's not just insanely tasty but also cheaper than from the grocery store.
Strong communities thrive together.
I rather not give people money by merit of the colour of their skin, though. Fuck me, right?
No one said fuck you lol
Yeah, that's not what's happening.
But keep playing the victim.
The fact that it's cheaper for you and they get paid more than the middle man would pay should be enough for you.
It's cool, but buying produce from your neighbors is also cool. Strong communities thrive together

Why do they have to be black? America is bizarrely obsessed with race, I've never seen anything like it both in person and on the internet.
Because they still get shut out of opportunities based solely on their skin color, names, and application photos. So they work together to create their own opportunities and are rightfully proud of that. America can stop worrying about race when we finally end racism.

It's because America is obsessed with race, and has systematically attempted to demolish black economic power from the foundation of the society, that people may choose to shop this way.

I would prefer knowing my money is going to people who have been systematically disadvantaged for this nation's entire history.
I suppose your post could imply other minorities could be included but the way I read your comment gives off big WLM energy.
Edit: spelling
Yeah and I understand your thought process. However the entire point is to skip large corporations and buy food from local farmers. Again, why do they have to be black? Coming from a country not obsessed with race, the very mention of race prior to a product or service, seems strange and segregating in itself.
Race should just be taken out of it, support your farmers. That is my point.
And fuck off with the white lives matter shit. I would say the same shit to white farmers, Latino farmers etc. Race+service = bizarre.
