Question

If marks and spencer was founded by black would it still be a major success if white people knew?

Answer 1

Are you trying to say that white people are racists and would not allow a black owned store to be successful, only a black person would even dream of this stupid question, its people like you who stoke the fires of racism.

Answer 2

how are we supposed to know?

Answer 3

i believe that it would not be such a success because of the wrong ideas that people have. White people sometimes have problems with the way black people dress, the way they talk or even the type of music that they listen to; therefore its very easy to associate all of these things with the department store.

Answer 4

well helmok and anthon a, i think it doesn't matter. just the fact that you get what you want then who cares? i mean maybe. there might be more blacks who shop there... but that is racist. as long as you get what you want it is a win win situation. by the way how do you know that it was founded by either blacks or jewish peeps?

Answer 5

Why wouldn't it be? What an odd question.

Answer 6

And your point is?

What would you say if I told you that one of the founders (Marks) was born of Jewish Immigrants in Leeds.

Have you a problem with what race or creed?

Answer 7

are you insane or something? of course it would be.  

Answer 8

your a bit controversial aren't you lol

Answer 9

I dont see why it would not be a success regardless of who founded it. However there are lots of small minded people out there!

Answer 10

Silly question! I like shopping, I'm not about to ask the bloody history of every store that I go in. It's irrelevant.

Answer 11

Yehh, why wouldnt it be?

Thats a bit racist int it..

Answer 12

Here we go!

Another uneducated, culturally challenged, racist, biased ignoramus!

Do people like yourself eat rocks for breakfast, lunch & dinner?

  

Answer 13

Probably, yes.

Answer 14

What a ridiculous question.

Answer 15

M&S was founded by Jewish people

If white people knew what?

What the h**l are you talking about?

This is perhaps the stupidest question I have ever seen on here.

Answer 16

so what if the blacks did it? M&S items are in excellent quality so why would it fail?  obviously you're being a racist & very stupid in determining things.

Answer 17

There's been a number of successful black owned and operated businesses around the world, so no, it wouldn't matter.
