How does "buying black" help the community?

[Dominic Decoco]

I try to buy black as much as I can but I don't see how it's helping me or the community.

Is it just so I can say "hey you see that black owned bookstore? I buy from them"?

Banking black>>>

@IbucciMane! Thoughts?

Well because the money is suppose to go back into the community. Also, it helps Black employers help employ other Blacks. Similar to how Jewish people employ other Jewish people and so on.

It only helps if the money that's spent actually goes back into the black community

Which it doesn't. Unless the kids understand the concept and have the knowledge of how to spend money it doesn't matter. A black man who runs a business will give his money to his family. His wife will go to the Asian nail salon to get her nails done or get her weave from the Asian beauty supply store. The kids will buy Jordans and Nikes. The shyt don't matter.

"Buying black" would mean stop wearing Jordans and Nikes, wearing weaves, getting nails done, no more chinese food, pizza, no more Gucci, Louis V, no more jewelry, no more exotic cars, etc etc.... All the stuff famous black people in this country glorify and encourage other blacks to aspire for.

Not to mention "black" is just a color. It's not a culture like the Chinese, Vietnamese, Jews, Africans, Indians, Russians, etc.

Real shyt...everything you said

In the way the economy is currently set up, no, it doesn't really.

But, when black are able to be competitive in real industry (oil, farmland, public works, etc.) then we're talking generational wealth.

There's a reason t-shirt shops aren't a place on a Monopoly board.

It’s abbreviated to a sense

Buy black hire black do only business with black support black

Have the money generate from within the community from all fronts

Honestly if we do this two things will happen cacs will wreck shyt like they did back in black wall street in the 30’s or black business owners will complain about not eating rich enough due to breaking even for a certian amount of time.

Everything else would be positive

@Trent Also, banking black ain't as "black" as we think it is.

I can link a long interview on the subject.
