Black people need to stop supporting everyone else's pockets like this. Because they damn sure don't solicit blacks for anything, they support themselves first. So why don't we? Why has no one started any business like this? What will it take for us to get it done?

They state in the interview that the Asians are trying to freeze black people out. They currently own every step in the supply chain, especially at the most important step which is distribution. You can't open a beauty supply shop if you have no beauty products to sell.

I believe it. But it doesn't bother me. I wish all races to be successful not just blacks. If black people owned a shop they would get customers too. To me what gets me is women who wear all that damn weave and wigs. It cool if you are just trying to play around with your hair but if you are doing it because you hate your hair it's just sad.

The Koreans follow them around and talk shyt to them in their stores, then call them nikkas as soon as they're done paying. Black women I love y'all, but your entrepreneurial skills are fukking garbage. Sistas y'all have to do better :wow:
These stores are owned by Korean men. Where is the entrepreneurial skills of the black man? Maybe if nikkas were around more often they could have been then ones to have built this industry, or at the very least have a seat at the table.

Black women are starting hair care companies out of their homes which is something I've noticed within the past 10 years. They are mixing up their own concoctions and selling them on etsy and their own sites. I'm hoping that this is the turning point. But Black women have nobody but ourselves to blame for what's been going on in the beauty supply industry. I don't have to shop at korean owned stores so they shouldn't have to either. Once again this all started with integration when black male leaders threw their communities into the bushes just to have access to the white man's communities and his women.

As well as the gas stations and carryouts. Black men said sayonora to their own communities when the white man told them he could come to theirs. But Black women should not be shopping at these stores tho, but the push for integration by Black men set the stage for all of this.

lol i think they need to clarify what they're classifying as "beauty supply store", cuz with stats like that, they definitely aren't talking about the conventional definition of "beauty supply store". that would include Sally's, major retailers and department stores.


if they mean 'small stores that sell hair extensions to predominantly AA customers', just say that

Actually breh, that shyt falls on us. We're the ones that's supposed to be leading in the community, not them.

I agree with y'all and you all make good points, but this doesn't explain that mess of a situation at LSA. A predominantly black women site where black folks don't even control the conversation at. Black women should pull their support 100% from that k!k3 owned mess. Whats stopping the sistas from revolting and creating a new site? I have just noticed a bad pattern with sistas.

Black women have all the fancy excuses..but truth is, they have been conditioned to hate themselves.

Jesus Christ you nikkas man :snoop:. We have a thread about a black man who saw the disrespect and racist practices of Koreans when it came to black consumers and black business owners and decided to do something about it and teach black people how to own and control our own shyt and y'all still wanna take these bullshyt cheap ass shots at black women :dahell:

We all suffer from self hate breh. It wasn't too long in the distant past that black men were also straightening our hair to look white. Have any of you actually ever sat down with a black women and asked them WHY they perm their hair? Why they wear wigs? Why they spend so much on hair care products? Why they never went natural or what obstacles they faced (from both black men and women) when they considered wearing their hair in it's natural state?

Do y'all even care about black women's hair and how it affects the self esteem of our women or do y'all wanna take these little bullshyt jabs at OUR women? This is actually a serious economic and psychological issue for our community that we can fix, but trying to throw shade at our women is not the fukking answer brehs :smh:
