Well, I started a Black business. But y'all see how that goes in here. :smh:

It's a shame, too. Even after all this time I still get nothing but shade from a good lot of Black people.

It's like many of us can't stand to see examples of ourselves that buck the trends and deviate from the unfortunate norms that we've been conditioned to accept.

no offense but your shyt wasn't the most positive, breh. and i've talked to you face to face. you're a smart guy. success is about moving past failures.
Failures?

I'm doing fine, breh. My company is stronger than ever. It's just sad to see my peers be such virulent haters.

Ungrateful, too. I must have sent out a dozen free shirts to Coli members and I've only received one shout out on social media. One picture. That's it. One recipient had the nerve to tell me that I sent them the wrong free shirt. Like :what:

Honestly, I'm not even going to go into the offline shenanigans I've run into trying to work with many of my Black peers. Just the online bullsh!t is enough to make any man go "Hmmm…"

You didn't hear any bad reviews. You saw some stupid troll sh!t and you ran with it.

I'd post about it more but the mods aren't into letting the discussion about Mollywatr continue without silencing it by moving topics to irrelevant forums. Even when they do let the discussion go on its nothing but very salty basement dwelling incels cussing me out.

Sorry, but I'm sooo done giving away tees to Coli members. Y'all know nothing about establishing solid relationships.

Won't even give out first names and what not. Sorry, I can't be giving away free product to faceless, nameless trolls.

The Coli really let me down. Black people really expose themselves on this site.

I'm cool with the LGBT community. I've caught heat for sticking up for gay rights and for denouncing homophobia on here. Hell, there's plenty of LGBT people rocking my gear on Instagram.

But yeah, I remember talking to you, you're cool. Funny as hell. Shoot me a PM with your contact info.

Don't be so quick to dismiss him. I don't know what type of business he is running but he is right. I read this book a few months ago....

Our Black Year: One Family's Quest to Buy Black in America's Racially Divided Economy by Maggie Anderson

If anyone thinks today's black business can survive by simply catering to black folks they aren't living in the real world.

Thanks about the Around the way app. That will be critical. I need to talk to the webmaster of that app to integrate it into our site.

Let us know about the site, I might donate to it, if it's legit.

Repatriate back to Africa

I honestly think if we had a progm like the Jews where you can visit say a African country for free and learn about your culture and heritage would help tremendously

You would have to offer something to countries, in exchange for that. For example, you and 3000 other people offer a city 1mil for school funding, while the city will provide your group with subsidized lodging fees of you guys visit. It's a good idea, but w have to offer Africa something, if we want something in place like Israel.

set it up with a country like ghana or something, 10 days, let young black youths visit the cape coast castle

Through the end of 2011, more than $680 million has been raised, and the program had an operating budget of $660 million. More than half of the program's funding comes from philanthropists, including Charles Bronfman, Edgar Bronfman, Sr., Daniel Och, Marlene Post, Lynn Schusterman, Sheldon Adelson, and Michael Steinhardt.


we cant come up with that?

black folks are devoid of their history, im sure this program would changes ome little b*stard nigglet in chicago, who wouldnt have had the opportunity to travel number 1, will actually learn about black history and slavery etc.

i'm about to spit some real shyt and y'all might neg it but fukk it. We need to work on our customer service skills more. You felt like the manager was giving you an attitude and i've felt that way too at times. Funny thing is, i think it's more a temperament thing and she didnt necessarily mean to. we need to get away from that stereotype of black businesses having attitude when dealing with customers. Now i'm not saying we should adopt "white" temperaments or speak like them. And i'm not saying we need to be fake either what i'm saying is if we need to, we need to find other ways to connect with the clients. how much of it is real and how much is an exaggerated stereotype? no idea...

y'all might think it's insignificant but i swear if that would have happened to me (taking my money to a bank and they give me an attitude) it would have been an instant turnoff and i would have taken my business elsewhere.

I feel you on that. Customer service is lost these days. It's a shame when you can see your black waitress c00ning it up for the white table next to you, but you can't even get a damn refill.



I didn't leave the bank that day because I was already determined to move my assets to that bank. After I got back and she was opening my accounts and we started talking she was actually a nice lady and lucky for her I didn't let that bad first impression cost her my business.
