If you can't make a change, there is always economic pressure by removing your business... but if you don't clearly address why, with an understanding of how to reach that person, then they will just blow you off as "passing" and buying into the "white world" because you're still making a primary mistake.

It's not about skin color. (I know maybe 4 black folks, and they're from Nigeria.. the rest are all shades of brown) (For that matter most of the "white" folks I know aren't)

It's about culture and power.
