That’s what up!I'd say between maybe 12 to 15
A few barbershops
2 Haitian restaurants
1 Jamaican restaurant (There's 3 in my neighborhood but the other 2 are owned by a Chinaman and a Lebanese)
The McDonalds near my house is franchised by a black man (I know because he goes to my church)
There's a rich nikka from the Bahamas that has his hands in mad shyt (I don't even know where he got his money from) and he owns a laundromat, a pool hall and a check cashing/payday loan center
Salute to that Bahamainian nikkah.
I’m tight at fukking Lebanese and Chinese people owning Jamaican Resturants. I’ve always had good relations with Lebanese people, but fukk I don’t wanna see them
Owning no Jamaican spots
Myth? Black people will go to whats available. If a chinese man owns it thats were they going...indian white Black....Blacks go to whats available.
Yeah, got a church and a bbq joint now come to think of it as well. So 7 altogether.
Jamaican restaurant
My lawyer black
Everything else is Chinese, Dominican/rican, Indian, white

It’s looking like the only thing black owned in black neighborhoods are hair salons/babershops, funeral homes, churchs and restaurants.
Black people All frequent all of those heavy, so it’s looking like we do support black owned business, we just dont own a diverse group of business or many business in our own communities.
I agree with you, we don’t dont discriminate against non-blacks, but we clearly do support each other

i've always thought this was an overblown myth used to push some sort of agenda that i'm not even clear on what it is
but like you said, barber shops and beauty salons are always packed across the country and stay in business for years, decades even.
those ARE black businesses that we support all the time.
maybe they mean other non-conventional black businesses, but for the most part we overwhelmingly support each other

I go out my way to support black. All my doctors are black. Dentist should be black but he passed me off to his partner who is a white broad.

I’m really starting to see it is just that.
We support each other so much, but we just don’t own enough to support. The Jamaican restaurant, the African supply shop, the AA Barbershop ALL get mad support in black neighborhoods.
We just don’t seem to own diverse businesses often.
Everybody non-black seems to own everything that isn’t a barbershop,hair salon, Church, Funeral home, black food restaurant.
We really do support each other
We just keep owning the same damn business only.
Used to have a black owned dispensary right down the street until the city hated on it for no reason other than

We had a nice little spot, but when you dont play ball, they find a way to get you up out the spot..
Serious question, because people keep talking about supporting black business and AAs need to support each other, and all these black people need to support each other....
So, how many business do you know in your neighborhood that are actually black owned?
I don’t mean business that are being operated day to day by black people in your neighborhood, I mean the entire business is owned by a black person.
This isn’t meant to be insulting or divisive. I’m legit curious to know neighborhood by neighborhood, Coli poster by poster, how many black owned business are in your hood?
What type of business is it, if it is black owned.
Not interested if you support it or not. Not interested if it is a good or bad business, just want to know what is black owned and what type of business is it (I.e barbershop)
Don’t have to give your whole city. Just only interested in the business around your home, in your general area. Business with a physical officer or building. Not talking about independent contractors who work out of various places. I mean a permenant business in the same spot everyday
For example,
Got 6 babershops, 8 hair salons, 5 fast food restaurants, 3 African supply stores, and that’s it for my general area, everything else is not black owned, but got black people running it or working there
I'm in Detroit so crazily enough, the vast majority of business owners I interface with are Black. I work for a black non-profit (more than likely going to start my own next year). The area I live in though has been/is being gentrified so not as MANY black owned businesses, but still quite a few. The Wine Bar I fukks with heavy is owned by a sister.

Lmao blackrednecks...
Keep it a buck with you. shyt is fierce in the streets. Arabs got the corner, Koreans/Africans have the nails/beauty supply, grocery store not sure, dry cleaners not sure, Dominicans got the hair and everything else is a Honkey Hipster Production. I'm sure American Blacks have some shyt but I'm really not sure exactly
