if you genuinely want an answer it came from the good and valid concept of 'it's good to try to support people who are normally shut out of the greater business world, be they minorities or just kinda situations like stay at home moms and poo poo'. Places like, say, Etsy and all started out really good for this, where you didn't have to rely on storefronts and politics around that aspect of selling your poo poo.

The problem came when people decided 'this is a decent way to try to do things' meant 'this is an inherently moral act' because the target audience of those places became upper middle class white people who felt that by patronizing them they somehow are buying a privilege indulgence or something.
you misunderstood my question. i didn't mean "when did buying goods and services from women and nonwhite people become a moral good," i meant "when did straight-up giving money to less privileged people become a moral good?" as in, stuff like this

the sort of people who work themselves into legitimately feeling guilty for being white are also the ones who immediately feel better after throwing some money at something that reaffirms their virtue

The point of all those schemes is personal promotion. They're trying to denigrate all whites except themselves.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

For the next four years the Onion will publish only sober, sincere news and opinion articles

And nobody will notice

I'm sorry, I was too distracted by White People Stay 😒 Colonizing 😒 to notice that it was part of a BuzzFeed listicle, meaning that the publishers of the masterpiece Can We Talk About How Woke Matt McGorry Was In 2015? have finally dug so deep they've ended up unknowingly celebrating criticism of themselves.

The comparison to indulgence is dead on.

Turns out if you raise a generation without religion, they just direct those feelings to something else.

The #WokeBrand is how her University's board is probably filled with vampire capitalists or their endowment invests in Qatari slave workshops, but the woke students are the face of the university so the other stuff doesn't get criticized.
