If a black person opens a new restaurant, do you cheerlead for it? Do you make a point of eating there on the regular, tell your friends about it, write positive reviews for it on food websites, any/all of the above?

What if it's not a food you normally like? Like it's a health food joint, and you don't eat tofu and the like. Or they specialize in pork and you don't get down on the hog?

What if you get a sample of the food and don't like it? Do you still tell your friends to go there and spend their money? Do *you* still go there, just because you think it's important to support a black restaurant?

What if the food tastes good but you feel it is unhealthy? Perhaps you are vegan, or just like to eat healthy, and the restaurant is all about deep-fried, homestyle Southern cooking with all the fat and cholesterol that implies? Do you give them your money? Do you encourage your friends to eat there even though you believe this type of food is a major source of obesity, hypertension and other health problems for black people?
