SHES ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. WE SPEND 1.6 TRILLION IN AMERICA ALONE. OUR GDP IS HIGHER THAN 200 COUNTRIES!

[jamesazikiwe]

I've been boycotting these groups for decades. You don't need what these groups have in order to live.

[samuelc.]

Plain and Simple! I don't support NO establishment that disrespects Black people and I don't support NOTHING that's NOT black owned. Period! ✊🏾💯✔️

How many times do we have to tell you all. I have been stopped buying from them, folks . When I was 31 and I am now 53 LISTEN, my people!!

[brilliantideas-yf]

Black Americans spending power per year is $1.2 Trillion. We need more black businesses

[winluvwinluv]

I agree. I stopped with the nails, because you could tell they were talking about you. I am not going to pay to be abused, or talked about.

I've been doing this since COVID. Went into the local Korean fruit store and those cretins were so rude and horrible would not even give you a bag, I left that $125 worth of fruits and vegetables on the counter and walked out, never went back same thing with the local Chinese stores they think we're all thieves, never went back! As for the nail place, my bathroom has all the things they use, save myself $80. Sick of all of these people who feed off us but have zero respect for us

This is why delineation and group economics is critical. We must unite with each other.

Something I've told my daughter's for years. Exactly 💯

[alexandrialegette]

To this day, it's still mind-boggling how much our people love and support those who have a deep-seated hatred for us. Yet, we hate ourselves and won't extend that same support to one another.

Integration has truly done a number on our people.

[aprilrae]

I agree. Why would you wear, on your shoes or clothing, the name of a man who hates you?

[Tonnie]

When are we going to start waking up collectively. Every group except for black Americans support each other. We need to build our own establishments to build wealth in our own communities.

Family, it's been time for us to do for us and by us ONLY! Rise ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

She's right. It's simple common sense.
I started off doing what I call Black Friday, which was me finding and patronizing black businesses in the area each Friday.
Each Friday, I would find new businesses. You would be surprised how quickly you can find a network of black-owned businesses that appreciate your business.

💯Facts!!!! It’s definitely time to stop supporting the nail shops and beauty supplies. Unfortunately, we don’t each other ! Let’s do better 💪🏾🙌🏽💯

[dwightalexander]

Preach my Queen Preach Where are all BLACK DESIGNER

[kevinmaden]

[domju]

Like Nike, Nike air Jordan, Adidas, Puma, Lacoste, Gucci, Versage, Diadora, Jimmy Choo and more lets invent our own brands

[heruking]

I agree with her. 💯✊🏾
Boycott them and Vote with your dollar!

[y.m.]

There ARE Black Designers out there ( Brandon Blackwood, Tracy Reese, Andrea Iyamah, Dapoer Dan, Bruce Glen, Fumi The label, Khoi) and many more up and coming. It's just that the OTHER ones are advertised more. WE NEED to support OURS though.
