Black Owned Grocery Store needs help staying Open

[The Nigerian]

Because we don't get those tax credits immigrants get

No, because they support their own instead of getting bogged down by bullshyt and questioning every little aspect of the business.

Black people are never going to get ahead until they understand that they need to support one another.

Black people will see a Black business and suddenly they think they're on Shark Tank, Bar Rescue or some sh!t by critiquing damn near everything under the sun while not knowing jack sh!t about running a business their damn self. Funny thing is that they NEVER do this to Asians, middle easterners, and CERTAINLY NOT WHITES. NOPE!

But once a Black person is here trying to get something going on the business tip and suddenly the Negitive N!GGER Comittee shows up to tell you why you're the next Bullet Ball. Fvcking shameful.

Also, to the losers in here talking sh!t about crowd funding please STFU. Every corporation nowadays is accepting donations. Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Vasigel, etc. are all accepting donations. Why shouldn't a small business do the same?

One of my biggest mistakes with my last venture was not capitalizing on the market for donations and crowd funding. People who fvck with you will support you with their money if you give them the ability to send it. I made it too hard for people who wanted to give me money to get it to me.

This store will only last as long as ppl prop it up.
Complete mismanagement.

The story says their EBT machine was down for 2 months.
Its a grocery store.

Dominicans got the grocery store shyt on lock, then Arabs. I've seen Mexican and Central American delis in the neighborhoods where they in numbers, I've seen old school Puerto Rican delis, I've seen African delis, Guyanese deli in Castle Hill, Italian and Albanian delis in Little Italy BX, Carribean delis (Jamaican/Trini) but never, ever in NYC have I seen an African American owned Deli.

Most black Americans aren't in NYC like that. They in the burbs or planning to move down south.

No there's more African-Americans in NYC than any other city in the U.S. proven statistical fact, and there's still many majority African American neighborhoods in NYC.

That don't even matter because even back in the day you wouldn't see black grocery stores, you'd see black cleaners, black barber shops, black restaurants but never grocery stores.

If they sold shyt that people in their market would buy... they wouldn't have to beg for capital.

 

[Calmye]

how in the fukk can a grocery store be in fear of closing? You're literally selling what people need. They obviously don't know how to run a business

Percentage wise, black AA's are decreasing while black immigrants are coming in. The majority of the black population in NYC consist of first, second, and third generation of immigrants from the Islands and elsewhere.

Black people in America don't support their own.

Simple as that.

We'll shop at bullet proof corner stores manned by some Asian, Eastern European, or Arabial dude, selling expired merch covered in grime but we won't support Black people trying to get us healthy food.

It's ass-backward, yes, but that's what's going on.

Black people in America only see themselves fit to be consumers or low level grunts. That's it. It's so bad that Black people don't respect Black bosses or Black business owners. Black management is seen as defective by most Black people.

Kills my soul.

In the case of your country, it might as well be a failed state.

Nah fam, most Black New Yorkers are AA. It is trending down but it will be a while before what you say is true.

I do find it funny that places like Harlem have become significant weaker as Black immigrants moved in.
