(NATIONAL FILE) – A popular black separatist Instagram page called "Independent Black Businesses" became embroiled in controversy this week after black followers learned that the account – which has routinely solicited PayPal and Patreon donations – is actually not managed by a black person, but a middle-aged white female from Brighton and Hove, U.K.
"Independent Black Businesses" was created this year and routinely posts photos of "black-owned businesses" accompanied by emojis and phraseology associated with black media activists, while soliciting PayPal and Patreon donations from followers.
"Welcome to @independentblackbusinesses . A platform to share, promote, celebrate and support Independent Black Businesses with a mission to dismantle Systemic Racism. If you are white, please shop mindfully and support Independent Black Business Owners," the page's first post reads.
The post Black Nationalist Instagram page actually owned by white British female appeared first on WND.
