Which it doesn't. Unless 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. She might 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....

This is why I asked actually.

What you posted will never happen tho.

Though the bold is true, it doesn't have to be true. You're implying that "buying black" only applies to the first consumer. But who is to say that the owner and his family aren't buying black as well :jbhmm:


There are two MAIN issues at play:

People aren't industrious in general
People don't talk to each other

Both of these plague black business development.

If you buy from a black business (and can get to the owner) then you can easily chop it up with them about who they buy from and how you can support each other. And then, if you have something to offer, that owner might buy from you.

If there is a need for black hair products (for example) there is nothing stopping any of us from setting up an online store, buying the products, and reselling them. You can then use that leverage to talk to a business owner and say "hey man, thanks for the food :myman: I appreciate what you're doing for the black community. By the way, I have an online hair care business. If your wife needs anything, I'd appreciate you consider giving me your business. If she has regular orders I can set those up so I have what she needs when she needs it. Here's my card, I look forward to helping her out and helping her friends out, so we can support each other and both thrive"


and boom... a business connection is made, two black entrepreneurs are now connected and can get goods from each other. If we linked like this and multiplied it, we would be circulating our dollars with one another and strengthening our economy. NO (and I repeat NO) culture in America has 100% of their dollars recirculated into their community. But scenarios like the one above will increase the time that the black dollar stays in the black community

Breh you really just said that shyt :whew:

:what:



yo somebody please neg this cac. :snoop:

Yes I said it, and its the truth. Animals do everything for survival and look after their species but humans can raise their consciousness to realize that we're all one and doing for oneself is a product of the ego not your true nature. Your soul true nature doesn't believe in doing for ones own race/self it believes in universal love.

When your consciousness operates in the lower 3 chakras you're consider that of an animal, because the lower 3 chakras are that of animalistic nature.

People negging me and don't know truth.

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

While id say your example is a little extreme (if only because Arabs and Asians low-key love stunting on European shyt more than Black folks), I agree with the gist of it. Which is: live minimalist and keep all necessities within the community, if possible.

Its the little , yet necessary, things that add up. Groceries, beauty supplies, auto shops, clothing, restaurants, jewelry, laundry, banking, accounting, legal, medical.....These are the fields that Jews, Asians, Africans, Red Dots, and Arabs will ONLY do business with one another with.
