Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
You just proved my point.
cause your point isn't really any type of point

a man creates a business.. do you think he actually gives two fukks about the moisture of hair?? hell no.. he see's a way to make money. he's not a damn scientist, inventing formulas to best treat our hair. he's a businessman, who found a product people want, and he decided to make money off of it

i'm sure when you wake up and go to work today, you aren't trying to figure out how to employ others.. you're trying to get your damn check and go home so you can take care of YOURSELF and then YOUR family... maybe down the line is extended family... and if you got it like that, some friends too

but soon as a black man gets some money, his money and life, suddenly needs to be ALL OUR MONEY.. he's not responsible for making moves to make himself happy, or rich, or take care of his family, or travel the world with his friends, or put his cousins through college, etc etc etc

nah he's supposed to say fukk his dreams of cashing out and retiring.. he MUST stay in business forever... or make less money by only selling to black buyers (if there were any) in a way to appease all black people




fukk OUTTA HERE.. i been saying it from jump in this thread. it's a damn business. it's job is to make money. stop treating black business men like they need to provide charity to us. you ain't asking bill gates to charge less for that windows, in order to help you.. you damn sure ain't seeing him take less money, so he can hand down his wealth to his white kids.. shyt he already told them they ain't getting shyt, nor the business.. cause that's not HIS dream.. but do you see anyone in an uproar? nope.. cause we only do that to our own black businesses. as a black business owner, i'm tired of hearing that shyt.. patronize me just like i'm white and expect the same you get from them. you not getting a discount, i'm not holding up my retirement, and if it comes to you or my kids, i'm doing what's best for them. as would any businessman

Details of the transaction were not disclosed, but Sundial's 2017 turnover is expected to be around $240 million.

:yeshrug:




i mean what do y'all really want from people.. nikka grew his business from the ground up.. then was offered 240 million motherfukking dollars for it. y'all want him to be like "nah fukk that, i'm gonna keep on killing myself at work till i'm 90"


fukk that.. give me my money nikka, i'm retired. isn't that what business is about?

Capitalism is too cold for black people to rely on it the way we do.

This is what a business does; die or grow until you can sell to the highest bidder and retire.

This "boss" talk got ppl confused. You sell t-shirts with "Pro-Black/Woke" quotes on it, that's not a business, that's a hobby. This--for better, for worse--is real business.

There's plenty of white companies ready to buy us out.
