Buy Local? Buy Black?

I've seen a few articles recently about towns where people are buying "local bucks" which they then can only use locally, as a way to bolster local business in hard times. Overall, "buy local" is becoming a common mantra.

Here's a new one that I just came across: People patronizing only African-American owned businesses.

I suppose it all comes down to putting your money where your mouth is and using your purchasing power for what is important to you, even in a recession.
