This is an ironic article talking about how few funding sources and grants there are for BIPOC businesses, it's funny, because I can't think of a single grant set aside specifically for white businesses. Can you? Seems like funding might just be hard in general to get for small businesses, especially grants (or free money) even if it is only $5,000-10,000. When is enough discrimination going to be enough?
