I know I bring it up a lot, but the South is filled with blacks. Enough to have entire towns/counties/parishes of 80%+ of the population.

So while they assuredly got unfairly given leg ups over people in the rest of the country for DEI nonsense, most of these businesses exist in these ghetto towns where people would actually be dead if somebody wasn't running a bunch of the businesses and black racism assures you that its gonna be another black.

Sure, most of those businesses are the 15th Salon, the 30th Daiquiri stand, and another fucking fried chicken restaurant. But it is actual negros running them.
