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.
Hey quick question for the @NAACP and @TheBlackCaucus why aren’t y’all telling people to boycott these “model minority” stores the same way y’all told us to boycott Target and college?
How many of you notice The Boule 3 (Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jamal Bryant and Roland Martin) aren't discussing Boycotting Asian Businesses?
Remember when they had no problem Boycotting Target over DEI?
DEI benefited mostly White Women, LGBTQ, Immigrants - pretty much everyone except straight White Men.
Let's cut to the chase:
The Big 3 won't boycott Asian Businesses for two reasons:
1) Boycotting Asian Business would directly support only Black Americans (A big no, no for Democrats)
2) THERE ISN'T ANY MONEY IN IT FOR THEM!
We must call out the bullshit at every turn.
Stay Dangerous
So I googled Black owned beauty supply stores near me.
I found out that these Asian owners are listing their stores as Black owned.
Out of six stores that popped up two were verifiably Black owned.
I’m finna grab some dirt….
You'll spend $200 on shoes to look wealthy and $0 on books that teach you to build it. You'll finance a car to impress people who don't pay your bills and skip the investment that could. The gap between looking rich and being rich is exactly what they're selling you.
The Black father is asked to produce men strong enough to survive racism, gentle enough to sustain relationships, ambitious enough to build wealth, & humble enough to remain teachable. He is asked to do this without a blueprint, without institutional support nor help
Seeing the same people say Chud The Builder was justified in using deadly force in response to physical assault last week, turn around this week and say Karmelo Anthony was not justified in using deadly force in response to physical assault is ... predictable.
Reconstruction lasted 12 years. It did not merely “end.” Black legislators were murdered and barbaric immigrants were unleashed on over 538 thriving Black American cities, towns, and communities. Jim Crow was quickly implemented in its place and lasted for 88 years.
