Here is the thing breh. The koreans like everyone else except black folks monopolize a industry and tax folks or make it extremely expensive to get into the field. The koreans monopolized the production and distribution aspect of the weave where you have to go through them no matter what and if you weren't korean they made you pay more.

White kat years ago even did a documentary on how they monopolized the industry.

The messed up part is BLACK FOLKS once controlled the wig (weave back in the day) industry and all these hair stores in the black community were black owned.

But once korean folks moved in (with the help of financing in from korea) the black neighborhoods and started selling hair at a cheaper cost blacks basically went to where the hair was cheaper and kicked the black shops to the curb.

Now what has helped the market is that the chinese in china now have gotten into the market and with the help of alibaba and the rest regular folks can buy weave and get it at reasonable prices. But overwhelmingly black folks still buy their weave from koreans cause they still have the best infrastructure that was built from the ground up and have the largest footprint in the black community.

What was that Documentary called?

 

[satam55]

Hell no indeed. Their not gonna tolerate that shyt in their communities.



I think we had a thread on here a few years back where the jews up in NYC talked about how easy it is for/to get black folk to sell out

Do you remember which therad?

Was it that 2009 Chris Rock documentary "Good Hair"?

Naw not chris rock good hair. It was a small budget documentary from 2008. Mike Baisden was the only kat that mentioned it.

Think I found it here......this is only part 1 it is broken up in multiple parts on youtube.

When I start seeing that shyt in a target last year that's in a predominately white area, that's when I knew...

Damn. I got mine at Walgreens while back in 2015 cause castor oil was making my scalp itch and I only followed the hype on twitter. Thinks it's too late brehs.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Who cares. If you don't buy this one you're a c00n.

How do you use this? Does it have build up

 

[satam55]

The irony of "black twitter" complaining about the lack of representation in an ad from a company with a large black user base while using the platform of a company that doesn't value their black user base...

So the better question is why are black people still using twitter? Blacks are almost 30% of the user base but twitter doesn't hire any black people and got the least amount of diversity of all the tech companies.

 

[Concerning VIolence]

Mind blowing black women have yet to capitalize on an industry that they are literally the only target consumer for.

shyt is really crazy and makes you sad when you think about it.


Don't we have enough educated, buisness-minded black women to seal this up with no issues?

 

[Concerning VIolence]

There's quite a few black owned, natural hair products on the market. It's just that Carol's Daughter & Shea Moisture were the most prominent ones...well, they won't be any longer.

They've had a stranglehold on it for the longest.

This pretty much opens the vacuum for everyone else to gain a stronger foothold.
