It does already, even back in the early 2000s, my step-dads business was sub-contracted to a Cyril business, as his business won the tender, but the only supplier in the entire country was my step-dad, so instead of it costing 10 million, it ended up costing them 100 million.

Who are you talking about? Your post intimates that there are "left wing white liberalists" that proclaim this legislation to be awesome. Do you have sources, or are you just trying to promote "conservatism" in a very weird way?

it feels racist because government is saying that black businesses are so bad that they can't compete with white business.
