It’s pretty pessimistic to think that maybe an index of BoBs is more of a boon for white supremacists than Black business owners. There are so many regional-scale efforts among Black business owners to “get the word out” on where to support BoBs. I don’t think we are trying to serve ourselves up. We are trying to get on the field (and I suspect a lot of other minority businesses would welcome a similar spotlight). Perhaps it’s a bad analogy, but I don’t think seed and pre-seed startups avoid Angelist and Crunchbase because maybe the vulture VCs and patent trolls are looking for new targets. Most businesses welcome an edge or advantage, perceived or real. Throttling in the face of potential threats probably means you shouldn’t be a founder or small biz owner.
