Black Owned Businesses .... B.O.B.s ...if you in Houston check out Sno - Grill....they got great burgers and chicken sandwiches, fish, wraps, salads....potato fries on point......and you can soak it down with some excellent flavorful iceys ..... ....

I use to help a relative with their snow cone business and it taste just as good...

Black Owned Businesses are almost non-existence... and i blame the owners.. u should see how many black businesses i grew up and saw, but the nikka instead of re-investing into his business decided to buy a house and a car in the burbs and took whatever extra money they receive to go support white businesses..

I support black owned food spots rather it be chicken and rib spots or my barber shop.

You may have a point, but it's on us to support those that are around. Case in point this thread, many of us flock to a "black women ain't shyt" thread, but anything about supporting your own people is

It's sad. I legitimately wanted to know, but it seems like people either have no idea, or it's all local. It's not absolutely necessary to go out of your way to support a black business over a white business, especially if the white business is better/more convenient, but it would be nice to help some brothers/sisters out for a change

Thought provoking question...honestly not much that I buy is black owned..this all natural Shea butter, maybe, it's 100% pure from the Africans BUT I get it from Walmart...get gas from middle easterns, corner stores owned by ricans, hair (if I get it straightened) by the Dominicans, nails & brows Asians

I honestly go to these places because they're in my neighborhood, im not necessarily traveling all over the city just for a black business...but I try when I can

it's better now though

iunno how rave buying em out changed the atmosphere, but it's no longer dirty ass bloods loitering out in front of the theater

I remember the message they had before the movie started, no baseball caps, no rags, no colors i was like When the theater started to smell like weed, i was like

the black excellence/un-excellence in LA is just too great

It's not really about avoiding all other businesses and only buying from black owned business, but it is just interesting and disheartening how so many of us couldn't count five black owned business that we frequent. I know I can't.

I buy my shea and cocoa butters from an African shop.
