What I love is how Asians said with their whole chest "don't shop in our beauty stores" & black folks said okayy anyways so guys come shop here. Every black business I see I repost! We don't need them frfr never have all we need is each other
I know that in 2005 you lot were into Mariah and MJB, who had fantastic albums out. But Toni and Faith were my obsessions that year with these two amazing bodies of work 💿😍
God forbid Black people want to own the businesses in the communities they live in.
Can you imagine if Black folks got government assistance to open liquor stores, fish fries, beauty supply stores, and corner markets in Chinatown?
Folks would lose their minds. 😭😭😭
But somehow the idea that Black communities should have ownership in their own neighborhoods is treated like a radical concept.

Billboard later changed this rule in December 1998
