yeah
@bdizzle I have two black owned businesses in mind, We get hype when it comes to things like trying to fire racist police officers like jenny pohl, But dont try when it comes to ways to trying to collectively support a black owned business. that place i just mentioned in jamaica queens...in that neighborhood around there ....in a 1 mile radius there is probably at least 6 other corner stores and they are all arab owned.
the one i mentioned that is black owned...whenever you past it it is empty as hell and you often see the owners inside sitting down and watching tv
it seems like 99 percent of people in the neighborhood go to the corner store a block away....EVEN IF their house is right next to(literally) the black owned store...ive witnessed it firsthand ..
all these hood dudes always getting into arguments with the arab owners but still go there everyday
over the summer one of these stores down the block...they had this dude who was a regular there(the arab store) and he was getting heated over something(no idea what) and kept talking about how when the door opens in the morning(they close it at 2 but leave the tiny front open so you can still buy things through the window) they gonna come back and punch him in the mouth...saying the owners(there are 4 of them all young arab dudes) are all p*ssy ass nikkas and all this shyt and keep saying he is gonna knock the fukk out of him when the door opens in the morning...and that he swears to god
the door opens up ...the 4 dudes come out but the three are on the side and the main one he was egging on ..a short brolic dude who could prob hold his own with him says "what now you p*ssy ass nikka...what now you were talking shyt before"
the dude then keeps repeating in a 5 min standoff that he is gonna punch him in his mouth ....but the arab dude is coming right up to him and he just keeps talking and not actually doing anything...arab dude screams out exactly what i thoguht you a p*ssy ass nikka...NIKKA you a p*ssy...
dude rides away on his bike when police come by ...
i am in the area weeks later and i see the same 2 guys giving dap to each other :snoop;
if this had happened at a black owned place....this dude would be talking about "this is why they aint alot of black businesses" "black businesses always act mean to other black people"
