The thing is, you can go to 5 bad white businesses, and not want to stop going to white businesses. But you have a bad experience in a black business, and all black businesses have to suffer.
What does this mean? How would you know who owns what unless the owner introduces themselves?

The hosts defended blk budinesses and envy said he gives them leeway… the callers said they were bad

I'm weirded out that she's a comedian and doesn't know who Damon Williams is. I remember him from Comic View but he owns a comedy club in Chicago that books comedians. and he's been active over 30 years in black media like Tom Joyner show, radio, tv etc. Lets you know how respected she is in her field.

Yeah you’d think she’d run into him at some point during her come up.. oh well, I’m not shocked.
Also I’m not shytting on all black businesses because one place fukked up. That’s not fair.

A lot of Black ppl hate each otherThe hosts defended blk budinesses and envy said he gives them leeway… the callers said they were bad
But will cry when the white man racially discriminates against them
Or say why the Arabs and Asians got all the stores in our neighborhoods?
Im sure I've had issues at Black business, but not a glaring crazy amount
Plus I live in Detroit where there is a lot of Black stuff

Maybe she forgotDamn
She need to stop talking so much
I've been to my fair share of poorly run/bad customer service/missing inventory Black, White, Asian, Arab, Indian, and Latino small businesses.
When Habib n'nem are over charging or providing poor service - they don't pull the "Black" card on me.
When Ryu and Chun Li are on some, "Hurry up, buy and leave" - they're not saying "we black too"
But these Ethiopians/Eritreans/Somalis and what not in South East DC...quick to play the Black Card when you catch them not giving you the correct change, promising what they can't deliver, etc.
"My Brudda..."
Just today, at this spot
"Black owned" "Howard Alum"
I stop in, because I like to see what the bodegas have on offer. This one was fairly nice, though bulletproof enclosure for the cashier.
They had frozen meat and fresh vegetables.
I didn't really need anything like that, so I copped a soda.
The sign on the cooler said, 2.99.
Okay, 3 bucks, fine.
Get to the register, and it rings up as 2.49. (and the sign in the window says, there's a 50 cent up charge (which is 10x what a typical Point of Sales contract allows for...I digress)..
So I'm 50 cents to the good. Cheap as Giant.
Ol Boy - "I'm gonna honor this price because that's what it rang up as..."
HONOR THIS PRICE?
YOU DOING ME A FAVOR, CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO INVENTORY AND PRICING PROPERLY?
SMH.

Every race gives its own people preference in business..there's secret pricing for Asians in Asian stores, pricing for Muslim to Muslim, incentives for Whites from other Whites but no love for Black patrons from Black business owners..
Yup, this is exactly why this whole conversation is always rigged.
