To think the job of supermarkets is to sell groceries?

Sainsbury's have tweeted that they are supporting Black History Month and that anyone who disapproves is welcome to shop elsewhere.
I prefer my supermarkets to stick to selling groceries, not virtue signal.

The packs are going to have pictures of black heroes on for Black History Month.

Though the only one I can see on the Sainsbury’s website doesn’t.

an article in the Guardian about a producer called The Black Farmer, whose range they’re promoting.
I always used to buy his sausages, they're very good, but haven't seen them for quite a long while; Tesco used to sell them too and a range from Debbie and Andrew.

I've just had a look and the Black Farmer sells a wide range online too. I expect you'd have to order quite a lot to make it cost-effective postage wise.

In my local Sainsburys ( a small store but bigger than a 'convenience' store - I have not seen a single black employee in all the years I have been going there.

Too much obsession with race when there are no problems anyway. Who cares ? We are all human beings.

This is from their website.
I can’t see that they are doing anything that they shouldn’t already have been been doing .

Nanna8. May I ask if you are BAME ? I am not and I therefore would not dream of claiming there is no problem with racism or discrimination
