Of course you can. As long as it's Black Owned it's relevant to this thread. I want this to be a guide for coli members so when we find ourselves in other cities or towns we can go to some of these places and help support.

 

[Yup]

That's a great idea

Or in the case of spots like the one I work at, shyt can be mailed to you so you don't have to be in the town to support. I'm hoping we can get some good food spots, clothing stores/indy apparel setups, herbal shops, and bookstores in here so it can provide us a good idea of where is what.

One more:

Nubian Bookstore 2445 Southlake Mall, Morrow, GA 30260

 

[Yup]

Rooting for this to become a sticky.

Black Owned bookstore in LA, similar to the place I work at now. These are places that need support more than anywhere else since bookstores in general are going out of business.

We need an emblem for Black businesses that Blacks can see and know but Cacs won't.

That would be dope but we all know how non-blacks play racial politic games...when Asians/Hispanics/Indians/Whites patronize their own nobody says anything, but when we patronize our own they claim "Reverse Racism" and use that as means to shut us down or get in the way of our growth.

We need to move exactly how they move against us...when they practice white supremacy against us, they call it everything EXCEPT what it really is...white supremacy. So when we support black owned businesses we need to be just as covert. It would be dope if we could somehow access public records to see who owns registered LLCs and create a database of all businesses that are black owned. Then we can give them a badge with an ambiguous term like "Community Cornerstone" and also have a website so that people can go online and verify that the business is indeed registered as a "Community Cornerstone" because you know demons will create a business and put a black face in front just to siphon money out of the community. We don't have to call it "Community Cornerstone" but whatever word we decide to give it...either way that will be code word for black business.

Note: I don't mind saying this on a public forum because if we do actually do something like this we can deny it just like white people deny white supremacy...on the grounds that there is no EXPLICIT evidence so it doesn't exist.

As I said in the other thread I made...I have a project that I am working on but this is another possible business venture to anybody looking for a side hustle or a business that they want to start themselves. Create a web directory of black businesses, with customer ratings...build up the database and traffic then begin charging businesses to add their profile to your website.

I agree that lots of bullshyt is thrown in the wind regarding that but we can take baby steps just as surely as we can take big ones. Just a thread like this with some word of mouth for people to go by is a great start. If you can develop something like what you're suggesting then it'd be huge and I'd definitely pass it on to the owners of this place and the other Black owned businesses on the block to see if they have some interest in it.

lol, so I guess not a lot of people shop at Black Owned businesses. :patrice2:
