Since when are blacc businesses more expensive than others?

they'll charge you $20 for some meal they warmed up in the microwave

in general the idea is the bigger the business is the cheaper they can charge for their product.

Why does it matter? I see that comment thrown around all the time.

Just wondering because I have never heard anyone say something that stupid. Most people complain about price or bad customer service. I personally think you're lying but .

One person told me that the reason why many black businesses charge a little bit higher is because unlike mainstream retail/grocery stores (who make millions within a month), black businesses don't have the same wealth to reorder stock/merchandise if they're charging extremely less.

See the big name retailers/grocery stores can afford to constantly & consistently have sales every other week, month or year. Basically if local black businesses were to sell products for extremely low prices how Walmart, Target, dollar stores (just to name a few) are able to regularly, they might not be able to continue having a store let alone the pay for the space they're renting.

Why am I lying? I’ve seen this comment on social media all the time which is why I asked why it matters where he from.

The two points you brought up are more popular but you’ll see a few knucklead black people say “I pay for service not for race”.

Add to the fact that the black race has a a lot of c00ns it’s really not hard to not believe this.

For instance if a black owned clothing store was to sell it's merchandise at extremely low prices such as a Walmart, the problem is that yes they've sold in products and made money but they didn't make enough in return to continuously reorder stock plus if they're renting they wouldn't be able to pay for the space. That's why local owned businesses in general charge more for ordinary things you can get cheaper at the big name retailers/grocery stores.

Now it's different with Asians, Arabs, Chinese etc because they're coming to the US with established wealth but also get little help from America to open these stores. So they're able to afford selling low priced items, sell out and reorder by the end of the week or two.
